Error in initializing org.owasp.esapi.logging.java.JavaLogFactory.

[Somdutta]

Hi,

I am using esapi-2.5.0.0.jar for my project. I have set ESAPI.Logger=org.owasp.esapi.logging.java.JavaLogFactory in my ESAPI.properties file. However, I am getting the error "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.owasp.esapi.logging.java.JavaLogFactory".

Could you please advice.

Thanks,
Somdutta.

1. If creating a bug, please use the bug template provided to help us help you better.
2. This is not a bug. This is a problem you're having integrating ESAPI. These types of questions are better posed in StackOverflow, asked as a project Discussion, or communicated through one of the mailing lists identified in the project README.
   • The names of the 2 Google Groups are "esapi-project-users" and "esapi-project-dev", which you may POST to after you subscribe to them via "Subscribe to ESAPI Users list" and "Subscribe to ESAPI Developers list" respectively
3. https://github.com/ESAPI/esapi-java-legacy/wiki/Configuration-Reference:-JavaLogFactory#debugging-failed-startup You problem is most likely that you are missing esapi-java-logging.properties.
