Spring data gemfire error - spring-data

Question

I am new to spring data gemfire/apache geode. I am getting the following error. Can anyone explain what is wrong with my configuration?
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error

Answer 1

Spring Data GemFire is tightly coupled with log4j2.
I've fixed the classcast exception with the following configuration:
pom.xml
Exclude the spring-boot-starter-logging from spring-boot-starter
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
(Optional) Add a log4j2.xml file under the src/maini/resources/folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="WARN" monitorInterval="30">
<Properties>
<Property name="LOG_PATTERN">
%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %5p ${hostName} - [%15.15t] %-40.40c{1.} : %m%n%ex
</Property>
</Properties>
<Appenders>
<Console name="ConsoleAppender" target="SYSTEM_OUT" follow="true">
<PatternLayout pattern="${LOG_PATTERN}"/>
</Console>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="info">
<AppenderRef ref="ConsoleAppender" />
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>
Placing one (and only one) of slf4j-nop.jar slf4j-simple.jar, slf4j-log4j12.jar, slf4j-jdk14.jar or logback-classic.jar dependendcy
<dependency>
<groupId>ch.qos.logback</groupId>
<artifactId>logback-classic</artifactId>
</dependency>

Answer 2

i had the similar issue with
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'gemfireCache' defined in .....
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.logging.slf4j.SLF4JLogger cannot be cast to org.apache.logging.log4j.core.Logger at ..
i had this dependency in my build gradle
compile 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-geode:2.0.10.RELEASE'
Fixed issue after adding this ->
configurations.all {
exclude group: 'org.apache.logging.log4j', module: 'log4j-to-slf4j'
}
