java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.elasticsearch.common.transport.TransportAddress

Question

I am trying to use elasticsearch in my J2EE application but I am getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.elasticsearch.common.transport.TransportAddress during deployment to Glassfish 3.1. IntelliJ shows no error during compilation.

I use maven with dependency in pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.elasticsearch</groupId>
    <artifactId>elasticsearch</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

This happens when use this code in my project:

Client client = new TransportClient().addTransportAddress(new InetSocketTransportAddress("localhost", 9200));

I took look into elasticsearch-1.0.0.jar used by maven and found that TransportAddress is interface. Probably the whole library it not being put into glassfish.

Here is complete stacktrace:

Is there something I am missing? Should I add elasticsearch library somehow manually to glassfish?

Thank you for suggestions.

Answer 1

If you have not mentioned in your pom to include the dependencies, those jars won't be where you run your code. You should either put dependencies in your target jar or manually put hem into the containers lib folder. Check out maven packaging.

Answer 2

Just add <packaging>war</packaging> to your pom.xml and everything will be fine.
