Failed to load class “org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder”

The error message “Failed to load class “org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder”” typically indicates that there is an issue with the classpath configuration of your project.

This error is often encountered when working with logging frameworks like SLF4J. SLF4J is an abstraction over various logging frameworks like Log4j, java.util.logging, and Logback. When using SLF4J, you need to have a binding to an underlying logging framework on your classpath.

Here are some possible solutions for this error:

1. Make sure that the required SLF4J binding jar file is present on the classpath. The specific binding jar file you need to use will depend on which underlying logging framework you are using. For example, if you are using Logback as your logging framework, you should have the logback-classic jar file on your classpath.
2. If you are using Maven, you can try running the mvn dependency:tree command to see if there are any conflicting versions of the SLF4J binding in your project. You can then exclude the conflicting dependency from your project by adding an exclusion to your pom.xml file.
3. You can also try using the slf4j-simple binding, which is a simple implementation of SLF4J that logs to the console. To use this binding, you need to have the slf4j-simple jar file on your classpath.
4. Another solution is to provide your own org.slf4j.impl.StaticLoggerBinder class by creating a new class with that name and putting it in your project’s classpath. This class should return the appropriate logging framework implementation.
5. Finally, make sure that you have the correct configuration files for your logging framework on your classpath. For example, if you are using Logback, you should have a logback.xml or logback.xml file on your classpath.

Update the maven pom with following dependencies:

  <dependency>
       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
       <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
     
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
       <artifactId>slf4j-log4j12</artifactId>
      </dependency>
Or

   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
       <artifactId>slf4j-api</artifactId>
       <version>1.7.5</version>
   </dependency>
   <dependency>
       <groupId>org.slf4j</groupId>
       <artifactId>slf4j-simple</artifactId>
       <version>1.6.4</version>
