"rest endpoint-from-entity" fails, ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Priority ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: FORGE-1261 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1261 Project: Forge Issue Type: Bug Components: Plugin API Affects Versions: 1.4.1.Final Environment: (Environment-independent, but...) JDK 1.6.0_45, Windows Server 2008 R2 Reporter: Thomas Maslen Priority: Minor Summary: the org.freemarker module should express a dependency on org.apache.log4j but doesn't Workaround: edit modules/org/freemarker/main/module.xml and add the dependency The long version: "rest endpoint-from-entity" works fine in the version of Forge that is bundled in JBoss Tools 4.1 (Forge 1.3.3). However, the DTO-based functionality added in FORGE-1060 looked tasty, so I downloaded Forge 1.4.1 and took it for a spin. Regardless of whether I run 1.4.1 standalone or within JBoss Tools (Eclipse), "rest endpoint-from-entity" fails with java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.log4j.Priority from [Module "org.freemarker:main" (I have a complete stack trace but it doesn't add anything profound). Once I edited modules/org/freemarker/main/module.xml and added a dependency for the "org.apache.log4j" class, "rest endpoint-from-entity" ran happily and generated the expected classes.
