JSON Parser -java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: defaultReader

by

Stumbled about the same problem.

The reason why it does not work is not the JDK 8.
The reason why you encounter this issue, is the fact that weblogic 12.2.1.X is bundling some old version of json-smart.

On my machine this would be found here:
jar:file:/C:/dev/WLS_12_2_1_2_0/oracle_common/modules/net.minidev.json-smart.jar!/net/minidev/json/JSONValue.class

Now if you are using a library like json-path that depends on json-smart, then by default the container will load the required class using one of its built-in modules.

The blowup you have, seems to be that the JSONValue class that your json-path depends on seemed to have this defaultReder field.
Here is a snipet of the clode that is blowing up.

 public JsonSmartJsonProvider() {
        this(JSONParser.MODE_PERMISSIVE, JSONValue.defaultReader.DEFAULT_ORDERED);
    }

That

JSONValue.defaultReader

Seems not to be valid on weblogs older system class loader class.

You can tell the container to use what you are packing by putting into your weblogic.xml deployment descriptor something like this:

<wls:prefer-application-packages>       
<wls:package-name>net.minidev.json.*</wls:package-name>                              
</wls:prefer-application-packages>

I am having quite a bit of trouble getting weblogic to swallow the fine-grained instruction above.
I found myself to force weblogic to swallog all that goes into the web-inf folder instead doing:

 <wls:container-descriptor>
        <wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>true</wls:prefer-web-inf-classes>        
    </wls:container-descriptor>

I would have rather not be using a hammer like the web-inf-classes, but I am dancing with the weblogic system classloader when I do not go coarse grained…

Regards.
