Problem:

TIBCO Spotfire Server fails to start with "Error creating bean with name ‘spotfireCa’ defined in class path resource"


Solution:

Spotfire Server may fail to start and we can see the error below in the "server.log"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[*Initialization*] web.context.ContextLoader: Context initialization failed
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'serviceAnnouncer' defined in class path resource [applicationContext-nodeManager-common.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'serviceObservers' while setting bean property 'serviceObservers'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'nodeManager' defined in class path resource [applicationContext-nodeManager-common.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'nodeManagerServiceConfiguration' while setting bean property 'serviceConfigurationManager'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'nodeManagerServiceConfiguration' defined in class path resource [applicationContext-nodeManager-supervisor.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'servicePersistenceService' while setting bean property 'persistenceService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: Error creating bean with name 'servicePersistenceService': Unsatisfied dependency expressed through field 'spotfireCA'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'spotfireCa' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Cannot resolve reference to bean 'ocspResponder' while setting constructor argument; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'ocspResponder' defined in class path resource [applicationContext.xml]: Bean instantiation via constructor failed; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Failed to instantiate [com.spotfire.server.security.trust.OCSPResponder]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: id_tc26_signwithdigest_gost_3410_12_256
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Such issues are seen when custom JAR files have been placed in the "<spotfire server installation directory>\tomcat\lib" directory.
If so, move them to "<spotfire server installation directory>\tomcat\custom-ext" (or remove them if not needed), and then restart the Spotfire Server Service.

You may also encounter this issue when there are duplicate JAR files in "<spotfire server installation directory>\tomcat\lib or "<spotfire server installation directory>\tomcat\webapps\spotfire\WEB-INF\lib". If so, remove the duplicates, and then restart the Spotfire Server Service.
