java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError while running the JUNIT method

Question

I have been running a simple Junit testclass with a single test method. I am stuck with the below error.

The stackTrace is as follows

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
    at java.lang.J9VMInternals.initialize(J9VMInternals.java:263)

Can anyone help me what could be the reason behind it

Is that your entire Stacktrace? I would expect to see a "Caused by:" block after this. You might want to show some code too — tddmonkey

Hi @MrWiggles, I am trying to call a webservice method. and checking whether the response is not null. I am trying to instantiate the webservice by using new, where its throwing this ExceptionInInitializationError. The statement i am using is as follows XXXXProxy proxy = new XXXXXProxy(); — Sonu
– Sonu, Commented May 5, 2015 at 10:55
But is this your entire Stracktrace? An ExceptionInInitializerException is usually accompanied by a root cause — tddmonkey
– tddmonkey, Commented May 5, 2015 at 14:31
The rest of the stacktrace is appended to the main stacktrace — Sonu

The Stacktrace is telling you exactly what is wrong. It even gives you a link to follow to read to resolve it - slf4j.org/codes.html#unsupported_operation_in_jcl_over_slf4j — tddmonkey

I did not have to add any jar files to the CLASSPATH though. I solved it by adding the following system property:

-Dorg.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SLF4JLogFactory

is this mandatory in running the webservices through JUNit?

It doesn't run before and I don't know why. Now I set the property as mentioned and it works and I don't know why! +1 even though!
