NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.tibco.security.providers.SecurityVendor_j2se

Question

I have a web-app trying to connect to a secured TIBCO EMS using Spring. At startup, when the MessageListener tries to startup, am getting the following even though tibjms.jar and tibcrypt.jar are present in the WEB-INF\lib direcetory. The app is deployed in JBoss 7.

15:44:14,814 ERROR [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader] (MSC service thread 1-1) Context initialization failed: [...] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.contextListenerStart(StandardContext.java:3392) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.start(StandardContext.java:3850) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.jboss.as.web.deployment.WebDeploymentService.start(WebDeploymentService.java:90) [jboss-as-web-7.1.1.Final.jar:7.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1811) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1746) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:895) [rt.jar:1.6.0_45] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:918) [rt.jar:1.6.0_45] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:662) [rt.jar:1.6.0_45] Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.tibco.security.providers.SecurityVendor_j2se at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) [rt.jar:1.6.0_45] at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:171) [rt.jar:1.6.0_45] at com.tibco.security.impl.ooOO.init(SecurityVendor.java:128) [tibcrypt.jar:]

If I expand the tibcrypt.jar file, I can clearly see the class 'com.tibco.security.providers.SecurityVendor_j2se' present.

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

Ok. I don't know why this worked but am glad it did. I followed the following: Configuring EMS over SSL on JBoss

This can be caused by path issues. When the jar files are loaded. So in our case we solved it by adding this line on the .tra file in order for the TIBCrypt.jar to be loaded first.

tibco.env.CUSTOM_EXT_PREPEND_CP=%TRA_HOME%/lib/TIBCrypt.jar
