CAS overlay from master failed to start

Hello,

my CAS overlay (build from master) fails to run in external tomcat due to a missing dependency:

Hi,

do you have this one in your build.gradle : implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-json-service-registry" ?

you also might need the dependency linked to your backend (redis, backend, hazelcast etc.) for your service registry. Eg, for redis : implementation "org.apereo.cas:cas-server-support-redis-service-registry"

regards,

[Hartmut Trüe]

Frédéric, yes, i do. I use the json registry and a similar configuration works fine with 6.6.

For me it looks more like a problem with a missing web request filter (CORS) library.

Hello,

any ideas to this issue?

I have reduced my config to a minimum, but i always get the same error:

Error creating bean with name 'serviceRegistryExecutionPlan' defined in class path resource [org/apereo/cas/config/CasCoreServicesConfiguration$CasCoreServiceRegistryPlanConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [org.apereo.cas.services.ServiceRegistryExecutionPlan]: Factory method 'serviceRegistryExecutionPlan' threw exception with message: Error creating bean with name 'jsonServiceRegistryExecutionPlanConfigurer' defined in class path resource [org/apereo/cas/config/JsonServiceRegistryConfiguration.class]: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'jsonServiceRegistryExecutionPlanConfigurer' parameter 1: Error creating bean with name 'jsonServiceRegistry' defined in class path resource [org/apereo/cas/config/JsonServiceRegistryConfiguration.class]: Failed to instantiate [org.apereo.cas.services.ServiceRegistry]: Factory method 'jsonServiceRegistry' threw exception with message: 'java.lang.Object java.util.List.getFirst()'

I tried with json support in build.gradle, with yaml support, with both, without them, with empty directory for services,  some services in directory,  initFromJson=false, initFromJson=true ...

No matter, always the same error. With 6.6 the same configs are working fine.

What is missing? 

Regards,

Hartmut

Hi Hartmut,

the reason behind the error you see is probably that you are running CAS with an old Java:

The latest versions of CAS 7 have switched to Java 21 and the method java.util.List.getFirst() from the exception message is not available in older Java versions. (So you most probably get NoSuchMethodError here. Unfortunately, CAS usually doesn't log exception names, that's why the error log might look a little bit cryptic...)

Hi Petr,

that's a good point ... as you can see from my first post, it is Java 21:

Java Home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk-amd64
Java Vendor: Private Build
Java Version: 21-ea

It is a JDK 21 from Ubuntu 23.10 repository, but the name suggests it is early access (ea) and may be incomplete.

I will try another version and report back here.

Thank you for taking care of it.

Regards,

Hartmut

Hi Petr,

thanks for your tip, that showed me the way. Now it is:

Java Home: /opt/jdk-21.0.1
Java Vendor: Oracle Corporation
Java Version: 21.0.1

from https://jdk.java.net/21/ and CAS 7.0 is up and running!

Thank you very much!

Best regards,

Hartmut
