I'm having java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.arangodb.ArangoDB$Builder error but not during compilation but on runtime.

What I've read (and I've read a lot) it could be caused by missing class in runtime witch was present during compilation. That make sense a little but I did not found out how to solve it.

When I call the class (ArangoDBManager) from main in that class it works fine so problem must be on server.

I´am using Tomcat 9.0.4, Maven and Java 8.

My pom.xml:

<groupId>groupId</groupId>
<artifactId>JavaEETomcat</artifactId>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

<build>
    <plugins>

I`ve tried several versions of arangodb-java-driver but it did not help.

Class to handle ArangoDB:

import com.arangodb.ArangoDB;
import com.arangodb.entity.BaseDocument;

public class ArangoDBManager {
    private final ArangoDB arangoDB;
    static final String DB = "DP";
    static final String COLLECTION = "user_exercise_files";

public ArangoDBManager() {
    arangoDB = new ArangoDB.Builder().password("********").build();
}

public void insertDocument(BaseDocument document) {
    arangoDB.db(DB).collection(COLLECTION).insertDocument(document);
}

public void deleteDocument(String key) {
    arangoDB.db(DB).collection(COLLECTION).deleteDocument(key);
}

public BaseDocument getDocument(String key) {
    return arangoDB.db(DB).collection(COLLECTION).getDocument(key,
            BaseDocument.class);
}

Error is generating in constructor.

I have that class in classpath:module dependecies

If I forget some info let me know. I hope someone have some idea couse I feel like I already tried everything.

Solution

  • I have solved this by adding .jar files to lib folder on Tomcat. Looks like it was caused by corrupted maven so clean install of maven should help too.
