According to the logs, what I think is happening is a circular dependency issue when classes get loaded (more details in first comment). However, so far I have only seen this error in WebSphere, in other environments the same application is correctly initialized and launched, and this exception does not happen. Since WebSphere uses IBM's own JVM, my hypothesis is that its class loader follows a different (and unlucky) order to load Calcite classes. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.3.4#803005)
