Salat GRATER GLITCH ClassNotFoundException

I'm facing a strange issue with Salat and this happens especially when I run my Play web application.

Here is the stacktrace:

What is the reason for this strange error?

Solution

  • I ran into the same issue with Play 2.4.x. But sparkr's solution wasn't enough, because Play keeps creating new classloaders on each code change. The following hack (in Globals.scala) seems to fix the issue:

    import play.api.{Play, Application, GlobalSettings}
import com.novus.salat.global.{ctx => SalatGlobalContext}

object Global extends GlobalSettings {
  override def onStart(app: Application) = {
    SalatGlobalContext.clearAllGraters()
    SalatGlobalContext.registerClassLoader(Play.classloader(Play.current))
  }
}
