commons-logging | Apache Commons Logging

I am tring to convert my .jar project into a native image since I need to run it in a device where Java is not supported. For that I installed GraalVM and all the required dependencies, and the native-image build works perfectly (or at least, seems to, as it doesn't give out any errors during the proccess).

The command that I'm using for the build is:

/usr/lib/jvm/graalvm/bin/native-image -jar MyApp.jar MyApp --enable-http --enable-https --no-fallback -H:+ReportExceptionStackTraces

The problem is, when I try to run the native file, I get an exception saying that the log4j class could not be found, and thus I have no application logs during execution:

In my application config i have defined the following properties:

I am trying to call an OWL API java program through terminal and it crashes, while the exact same code is running ok when I run it in IntelliJ.

The exception that rises in my main code is this:

This is my code:

I want to use commons-logging API with log4j 2.

My classes have the following code get the logger ( the commons-logging api )

I'm using the QR-Bill library v2.5.3. As one of its dependencies, it specifies PDFBox using the range [2.0.0,3.0):

I am trying to connect to Kafka. When I run a simple JAR file, I get the following error:

Our web app runs in a tomcat 9 container and uses Log4j 2.13.3 as logging system.

The web app includes org.apache.xmlgraphics:fop 2.3, which uses apache commons-logging (version 1.2 in our setup instead of 1.0.4 originally used in fop).

This combination has been running for years using log4-jcl, the Commons Logging Bridge, and all commons-logging output correctly went into the files configured by log4j. The configuration is fairly easy, as described in this SO answer

However, for no apparent reason, fop has recently started writing all its (rather verbose) logs to stderr (i.e. directly to catalina.out) instead of the log file configured, but only on some of our systems. We have some 50 tomcat instances running basically identical software and identical system configurations; one third of them still logs correctly.

I assume that commons-logging doesn't find log4j-jcl's implementation of org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory.

Debugging log4j using Configuration status="trace" doesn't provide any hint of a failure in log4j-jcl or elsewhere.

I'm out of my wits. Any suggestions?

So I'm using gitlab and I have a java project that's built on gitlab VM using a .gitlab-ci-yml file.

I have this problem where we have to change the java version the project is build with (current java 11).

So adding in build.xml this: will print 11.

I've tried to change it specifying in javac the source and target but if the target is not specified, it will not build it using another java version, and if it is specified, it will return an error:

Also using will return the same error.
So I'm not sure if basically adding my own ant tool and java version into the package and force it to use that one will work, I don't know how to do this.

Here is the build.xml file and also the .gitlab-ci.yml

UPDATE: .gitlab-ci.yml was updated. Now the error seems to be the following, having the below .gilab-ci.yml file: Unable to locate package adoptopenjdk-17-hotspot
build.xml
