Hi euler,

glad to hear you got there in the end, and that my suspicion about the problem (though perhaps not the one about the cause of the problem) was correct - multiple versions of slf4j jars.

Just for the record, I think another scenario where I encountered this was custom dependencies (eg in [dspace-src]/dspace/modules/additions/pom.xml) pointing to an older version of dspace-api, which resulted in the inclusion of both versions. https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/resolving-conflicts-using-the-dependency-tree.html shows how to get the dependencies for a particular group of artifacts, that technique might help troubleshoot this sort of issue.

cheers,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,

Yes, I did run mvn clean clean -U package. I just checked this morning and running ls slf4j* in [dspace]/lib, I have this files:

$ ls slf4j*
slf4j-api-1.5.6.jar  slf4j-log4j12-1.5.6.jar
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar  slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar

Anyways, I was kind of desperate to fix this issue and couldn't wait after the weekend to wait for a response, so I just reinstall DSpace to a different directory. Thankfully I didn't encounter that issue. I really suspect it's a permission issue because I just inherited this repository and I am using a different user when the original DSpace was installed. Plus, I always encountered a permissions denied errors from the [dspace]/log directory.

Thanks for this, I now know where to look and what file to delete if ever I encounter that error again.

Best regards,
euler

Just to get the super obvious out of the way, you did run mvn clean
during the upgrade, yes? I think I've seen this happen when I forgot the
"clean" bit, which results in more than one slf4j version in
[dspace]/lib and the wrong one (an earlier version) is loaded instead of
the correct one. What do you get for this?
ls [dspace]/lib/slf4j*

I just ran this on a DSpace 5.3 instance and I get:
slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar
slf4j-log4j12-1.6.1.jar

cheers,
Andrea
