Getting NoClassDefFoundError

[sumane]

Hi ,

I am trying to print the class name of a class which is present in a jar file. I have set the class path of the jar so that I can access the class.

Please see the code below :

public class Test {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
	//extensionFunctionCallClass = net.sf.saxon.functions.ExtensionFunctionCall.class;
		
		//ExtensionFunctionCall = net.sf.saxon.functions.ExtensionFunctionCall.class;
		
		Class extensionFunctionCallClass = null;
		try {
			extensionFunctionCallClass =Class.forName("net.sf.saxon.functions.ExtensionFunctionCall");
		} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		System.out.println("Test ==== >>>"+extensionFunctionCallClass);
		
        }
}

The exception I am getting is :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java/lang/AssertionError
	at java.lang.Class.forName1(Native Method)
	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:142)
	at Test.main(Test.java:28)
Exception in thread "main"

Can somebody help me how do I print the class name without any exception please?

Regards,
Suman.

Strange, the stack trace seems to indicate that Class itself is throwing an Error which doesn't exist. It's trying to reference java.lang.AssertionError, but doesn't appear to be finding it.

Try updating your version of java. Also, to print the actual class name, you need to print extensionFunctionCallClass.getName() rather than just the Class object.
