深入JVM分析spring-boot应用hibernate-validator NoClassDefFoundError

问题

最近排查一个spring boot应用抛出hibernate.validator NoClassDefFoundError的问题,异常信息如下:

这个错误信息表面上是NoClassDefFoundError,但是实际上ConfigurationImpl这个类是在hibernate-validator-5.3.5.Final.jar里的,不应该出现找不到类的情况。

那为什么应用里抛出这个NoClassDefFoundError

有经验的开发人员从Could not initialize class 这个信息就可以知道,实际上是一个类在初始化时抛出的异常,比如static的静态代码块,或者static字段初始化的异常。

谁初始化了 org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl

但是当我们在HibernateValidator 这个类,创建ConfigurationImpl的代码块里打断点时,发现有两个线程触发了断点:

1
2
3
4
5
public class HibernateValidator implements ValidationProvider<HibernateValidatorConfiguration> {
@Override
public Configuration<?> createGenericConfiguration(BootstrapState state) {
return new ConfigurationImpl( state );
}

其中一个线程的调用栈是:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
Thread [background-preinit] (Class load: ConfigurationImpl)
HibernateValidator.createGenericConfiguration(BootstrapState) line: 33
Validation$GenericBootstrapImpl.configure() line: 276
BackgroundPreinitializer$ValidationInitializer.run() line: 107
BackgroundPreinitializer$1.runSafely(Runnable) line: 59
BackgroundPreinitializer$1.run() line: 52
Thread.run() line: 745

另外一个线程调用栈是:

1
2
3
4
5
6

ConstructorResolver.instantiateUsingFactoryMethod(String, RootBeanDefinition, Object[]) line: 588
DefaultListableBeanFactory(AbstractAutowireCapableBeanFactory).instantiateUsingFactoryMethod(String, RootBeanDefinition, Object[]) line: 1173

显然,这个线程的调用栈是常见的spring的初始化过程。

BackgroundPreinitializer 做了什么

那么重点来看下 BackgroundPreinitializer 线程做了哪些事情:

@Order(LoggingApplicationListener.DEFAULT_ORDER + 1)
public class BackgroundPreinitializer
implements ApplicationListener<ApplicationEnvironmentPreparedEvent> {

@Override
public void onApplicationEvent(ApplicationEnvironmentPreparedEvent event) {
try {
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {

@Override
public void run() {
runSafely(new MessageConverterInitializer());
runSafely(new MBeanFactoryInitializer());
runSafely(new ValidationInitializer());
runSafely(new JacksonInitializer());
runSafely(new ConversionServiceInitializer());
}

public void runSafely(Runnable runnable) {
try {
runnable.run();
}
catch (Throwable ex) {
// Ignore
}
}

}, "background-preinit");
thread.start();
}

可以看到BackgroundPreinitializer类是spring boot为了加速应用的初始化,以一个独立的线程来加载hibernate validator这些组件。

这个 background-preinit 线程会吞掉所有的异常。

显然ConfigurationImpl 初始化的异常也被吞掉了,那么如何才能获取到最原始的信息?

获取到最原始的异常信息

BackgroundPreinitializerrun() 函数里打一个断点(注意是Suspend thread类型, 不是Suspend VM),让它先不要触发ConfigurationImpl的加载,让spring boot的正常流程去触发ConfigurationImpl的加载,就可以知道具体的信息了。

那么打出来的异常信息是:

1
2
3
4
5

7
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.jboss.logging.Logger.getMessageLogger(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object;
at org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.logging.LoggerFactory.make(LoggerFactory.java:19) ~[hibernate-validator-5.3.5.Final.jar:5.3.5.Final]
at org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.Version.<clinit>(Version.java:22) ~[hibernate-validator-5.3.5.Final.jar:5.3.5.Final]
at org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl.<clinit>(ConfigurationImpl.java:71) ~[hibernate-validator-5.3.5.Final.jar:5.3.5.Final]
at org.hibernate.validator.HibernateValidator.createGenericConfiguration(HibernateValidator.java:33) ~[hibernate-validator-5.3.5.Final.jar:5.3.5.Final]
at javax.validation.Validation$GenericBootstrapImpl.configure(Validation.java:276) ~[validation-api-1.1.0.Final.jar:na]
at org.springframework.boot.validation.MessageInterpolatorFactory.getObject(MessageInterpolatorFactory.java:53) ~[spring-boot-1.5.3.RELEASE.jar:1.5.3.RELEASE]

那么可以看出是 org.jboss.logging.Logger 这个类不兼容,少了getMessageLogger(Ljava/lang/Class;Ljava/lang/String;)Ljava/lang/Object 这个函数。

那么检查下应用的依赖,可以发现org.jboss.logging.Loggerjboss-common-1.2.1.GA.jarjboss-logging-3.3.1.Final.jar里都有。

显然是jboss-common-1.2.1.GA.jar 这个依赖过时了,需要排除掉。

总结异常的发生流程

  1. 应用依赖了jboss-common-1.2.1.GA.jar,它里面的org.jboss.logging.Logger太老
  2. spring boot启动时,BackgroundPreinitializer里的线程去尝试加载ConfigurationImpl,然后触发了org.jboss.logging.Logger的函数执行问题
  3. BackgroundPreinitializer 吃掉了异常信息,jvm把ConfigurationImpl标记为不可用的
  4. spring boot正常的流程去加载ConfigurationImpl,jvm发现ConfigurationImpl类是不可用,直接抛出NoClassDefFoundError

    1
    Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.hibernate.validator.internal.engine.ConfigurationImpl

深入JVM

为什么第二次尝试加载ConfigurationImpl时,会直接抛出java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class

下面用一段简单的代码来重现这个问题:

try {
org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.Version.touch();
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
System.in.read();

try {
org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.Version.touch();
} catch (Throwable e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

使用HSDB来确定类的状态

当抛出第一个异常时,尝试用HSDB来看下这个类的状态。

1
sudo java -classpath "$JAVA_HOME/lib/sa-jdi.jar" sun.jvm.hotspot.HSDB

然后在HSDB console里查找到Version的地址信息

1
2
hsdb> class org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.Version
org/hibernate/validator/internal/util/Version @0x00000007c0060218

然后在Inspector查找到这个地址,发现_init_state是5。

再看下hotspot代码,可以发现5对应的定义是initialization_error

// /hotspot/src/share/vm/oops/instanceKlass.hpp
// See "The Java Virtual Machine Specification" section 2.16.2-5 for a detailed description
// of the class loading & initialization procedure, and the use of the states.
enum ClassState {
allocated, // allocated (but not yet linked)
loaded, // loaded and inserted in class hierarchy (but not linked yet)
linked, // successfully linked/verified (but not initialized yet)
being_initialized, // currently running class initializer
fully_initialized, // initialized (successfull final state)
initialization_error // error happened during initialization
};

JVM规范里关于Initialization的内容

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/specs/jvms/se7/html/jvms-5.html#jvms-5.5

从规范里可以看到初始一个类/接口有12步,比较重要的两步都用黑体标记出来了:

  • 5: If the Class object for C is in an erroneous state, then initialization is not possible. Release LC and throw a NoClassDefFoundError.

  • 11: Otherwise, the class or interface initialization method must have completed abruptly by throwing some exception E. If the class of E is not Error or one of its subclasses, then create a new instance of the class ExceptionInInitializerError with E as the argument, and use this object in place of E in the following step.

第一次尝试加载Version类时

当第一次尝试加载时,hotspot InterpreterRuntime在解析invokestatic指令时,尝试加载org.hibernate.validator.internal.util.Version类,InstanceKlass_init_state先是标记为being_initialized,然后当加载失败时,被标记为initialization_error

对应Initialization的11步。

// Step 10 and 11

CLEAR_PENDING_EXCEPTION;
// JVMTI has already reported the pending exception
// JVMTI internal flag reset is needed in order to report ExceptionInInitializerError
JvmtiExport::clear_detected_exception((JavaThread*)THREAD);
{
EXCEPTION_MARK;
this_oop->set_initialization_state_and_notify(initialization_error, THREAD);
CLEAR_PENDING_EXCEPTION; // ignore any exception thrown, class initialization error is thrown below
// JVMTI has already reported the pending exception
// JVMTI internal flag reset is needed in order to report ExceptionInInitializerError
JvmtiExport::clear_detected_exception((JavaThread*)THREAD);
}
DTRACE_CLASSINIT_PROBE_WAIT(error, InstanceKlass::cast(this_oop()), -1,wait);
if (e->is_a(SystemDictionary::Error_klass())) {
THROW_OOP(e());
} else {
JavaCallArguments args(e);
THROW_ARG(vmSymbols::java_lang_ExceptionInInitializerError(),
vmSymbols::throwable_void_signature(),
&args);
}

第二次尝试加载Version类时

当第二次尝试加载时,检查InstanceKlass_init_stateinitialization_error,则直接抛出NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class.

对应Initialization的5步。

if (this_oop->is_in_error_state()) {
DTRACE_CLASSINIT_PROBE_WAIT(erroneous, InstanceKlass::cast(this_oop()), -1,wait);
ResourceMark rm(THREAD);
const char* desc = "Could not initialize class ";
const char* className = this_oop->external_name();
size_t msglen = strlen(desc) + strlen(className) + 1;
char* message = NEW_RESOURCE_ARRAY(char, msglen);
if (NULL == message) {
// Out of memory: can't create detailed error message
THROW_MSG(vmSymbols::java_lang_NoClassDefFoundError(), className);
} else {
jio_snprintf(message, msglen, "%s%s", desc, className);
THROW_MSG(vmSymbols::java_lang_NoClassDefFoundError(), message);
}
}

总结

  • spring boot在BackgroundPreinitializer类里用一个独立的线程来加载validator,并吃掉了原始异常
  • 第一次加载失败的类,在jvm里会被标记为initialization_error,再次加载时会直接抛出NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class
  • 当在代码里吞掉异常时要谨慎,否则排查问题带来很大的困难
