ejbca 9.1.1 Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder

[hanuamantha]

I am using ejcba 9.1.1 with wildfly(32.0.1.Final) wildfly-core(24.0.1.Final). I am seeing below error

(ejbca)[root@dc418-seed-vm /]# ejbca ca listcas
SLF4J: Failed to load class "org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder".
SLF4J: Defaulting to no-operation (NOP) logger implementation
SLF4J: See http://www.slf4j.org/codes.html#StaticLoggerBinder for further details.

Any suggestions.

I see that you have created an alias called "ejbca". What if you execute the script:
cd ejbca
bin/ejbca.sh ca listcas

[hanuamantha]

(ejbca)[root@infra1 /]# which ejbca
/usr/bin/ejbca
(ejbca)[root@infra1 /]# cat /usr/bin/ejbca
`#!/usr/bin/env bash

JAVACMD=$(which java)

if [ -z "$JAVACMD" ]; then
if [ -z "$JAVA_HOME" ]; then
echo 'You must set JAVA_HOME before running the EJBCA CLI.' 1>&2
exit 1
else
JAVACMD="$JAVA_HOME/bin/java"
fi
fi

if [ -z "$EJBCA_HOME" ]; then
# It is important to set EJBCA_HOME since some code in the JAR use this variable
EJBCA_HOME=$(dirname "$0")/../
fi

CLI_JAR="$EJBCA_HOME/dist/ejbca-ejb-cli/ejbca-ejb-cli.jar"

if [ ! -f "$CLI_JAR" ]; then
echo "Cannot find the EJBCA CLI binary '$CLI_JAR'." 1>&2
exit 2
fi

exec "$JAVACMD" -Dlog4j.configuration=$EJBCA_HOME/bin/log4j-cli.properties -Dlog4j1.compatibility=true -jar "$CLI_JAR" "$@"`

The ejbca alias contains the same content as the script located at:
https://github.com/Keyfactor/ejbca-ce/blob/main/bin/ejbca.sh

[primetomas]

Do you get any output from the command or is it completely silent you mean?

[hanuamantha]

it's printing CAs.. but I would like to fix this warning.

[hanuamantha]

Since you have moved around files, I would still ask you to test it in ejbca, instead of the systemized version. unzip ejbca.zip cd ejbca ant build bin/ejbca.sh ca listcas

We never install the EJBCA commands system wide since these are not commands that are run as part of the OS, by all users on a machine. As ejbca.sh is only run be one specific user for specific tasks installing it into the OS just adds maintenance burden making upgrades harder.

Hi @primetomas , as you suggested even I have downloaded ejbca.zip and tried but still it's showing same slf4j warnings.

[hanuamantha]

I can see EJBCA documentation https://docs.keyfactor.com/container/latest/ejbca/ejbca-9-0-release-notes ECA-12551 Resolve SLF4J logger warnings is fixed in release notes, **9.3.5-7.4**.. I am using ejbca r91.1. Is this SLF4J warnings are fixed in 9.3?

[primetomas]

12551 is listed as fixed in 9.0 in the release notes. Are you sure your ejbca alias isn't messing doing something?
did you try
cd ejbca-ce-9.1.1
bin/ejbca.sh ca listcas

yes tried @primetomas , but still same error

[hanuamantha]

I have cloned ejbca 9.1 community container and ejbca.sh in community container is slightly different compare to r9.1.1

in r9.1.1

[primetomas]

I don't have a good answer unfortunately. The next release will be out shortly.
I tested on the latest container (9.1.1).

[hanuamantha]

@primetomas may i kindly know when will be next release?

[primetomas]

It is out since before Christmas. Both on GitHub and DockerHub.

[hanuamantha]

Thank you for the info. It was not showing directly in github tags page... it's listing latest as r9.1.1. When I click 35 tags , it's showing r9.3.7

[primetomas]

[hanuamantha]

Okay.
