Hello Giuolio
Do you found a fix to your issue ? Otherwise, I'll try to have a look on
days

Good morning Devs,
I hope you're all doing well.
I am writing because a couple of days ago we faced a strange issue with one
of our OFBiz installations.
The context:
We have a Docker infrastructure with multiple containers running e-commerce
applications based on OFBiz.
One of this Docker runs OFBiz 17.12.06 (I know that is old and out of
support) and on Tuesday morning only that specific docker container failed
to start, because OFBiz failed the start up and specifically the build
phase, with the following error:
1. org.apache.ofbiz.entity.util.EntitySaxReaderTests >
constructorWithTimeout FAILED java.lang.IllegalStateException at
EntitySaxReaderTests.java:61 Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at
EntitySaxReaderTests.java:61 Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException at
EntitySaxReaderTests.java:61
I also add that no updates to docker, or OS (either host or guest) or OFBiz
gradle dependency were made, but suddenly that error.
I spare you all the hours of research (here I have to thank ChatGPT) and
testing, but add the end we made it start up again, but:
- we had to update both host OS (from Ubuntu 18 to 22.04), and jdk version
(from a very old 1.8.102 to a newer openjdk 1.8.0_462). For this we used
eclipse-temurin pre-build image;
- update MySQL driver version because the old version that we used did not
have the support for the connection string parameter *useSSL;*
This after a number of middle steps of testing and image rebuilding.
I have to say that this thing makes me worry a bit because this kind of
issue could cause a lot of disappointment for the customer and it's hard to
explain what really happened.
My personal opinion is that it is a gradle cache related problem, but I
cannot be sure.
I cannot explain why it happened only on Tuesday and not one month ago or 6
month ago, also, considering that this specific container is up and running
for 3 or 4 years.
I would really appreciate it if you could share your
opinions/ideas/suggestions about this and if you need more details I'll be
more than happy to share them.
Thanks in advance to all and have a nice day ahead.
Giulio
