[java] NoClassDefFoundError: org/slf4j/impl/StaticLoggerBinder

I'm trying to run the sample tiles example given here.

Below is my POM.xml:

<dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>junit</groupId>
            <artifactId>junit</artifactId>
            <version>3.8.1</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
            <artifactId>tiles-api</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
            <artifactId>tiles-core</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.tiles</groupId>
            <artifactId>tiles-jsp</artifactId>
            <version>2.1.2</version>
        </dependency>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
            <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
            <version>1.5.2</version>
        </dependency>

When I'm trying to run the example the below error is thrown:

Sep 17, 2010 11:59:43 PM org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext listenerStart

Any idea?

I spent 30 minutes googling for this but could not find a possible sollution.

Please help me...

Add the all tiles jars like(tiles-jsp,tiles-servlet,tiles-template,tiles-extras.tiles-core ) to your server lib folder and your application build path then it work if you using apache tailes with spring mvc application

Copy all order entries of home folder .iml file into your /src/main/main.iml file. This will solve the problem.

You have included the dependency for sflj's api, but not the dependency for the implementation of the api, that is a separate jar, you could try slf4j-simple-1.6.1.jar.

i had the same error while working with hibernate, i had added below dependency in my pom.xml that solved the problem

    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
        <version>1.7.10</version>
    </dependency>
