JcrUtils.getRepository throws ExceptionInIntializerError

[margaretywong5]

When I attempt to execute the code snippet in the "How to programmatically access the AEM JCR" article, I get the following exception:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError

  at GetRepository.main(GetRepository.java:15)

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown type: 10

  at javax.jcr.PropertyType.nameFromValue(PropertyType.java:92)

  at org.apache.jackrabbit.commons.JcrUtils.<clinit>(JcrUtils.java:1277)

Any ideas on how to fix this?

How are you accessing it - from a Java APP - did you include the correct Jackrabbit JAR into your applications' classpath?

[margaretywong5]

Yes, from a Java App and I do compile using "jackrabbit-jcr-commons-2.19.1.jar" in my classpath. The app compiles fine, it just gives this exception at runtime.

What AEM version are you using?

Looks like you are using wrong JAR for your AEM version. You can obtain the jackrabbit-standalone JAR file from http://jackrabbit.apache.org/jcr/jcr-api.html.

I am testing which JAR against AEM 6.4 - i will post back.

Now using "jackrabbit-standalone-2.12.10.jar" but still same error.
