I am making website on glassfish. I already added amazon bucket support. It works but I had issue with them so I moved to google cloud platform. I try to add google bucket.

public static boolean initGoogleBucket()
{
    try {
        ExternalContext externalContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext();
        InputStream iStream = externalContext.getResourceAsStream("/WEB-INF/googleBucket.json");
        if(iStream == null) {
            return false;
        }
        Credentials credentials = GoogleCredentials.fromStream(iStream);
        storage = StorageOptions.newBuilder().setCredentials(credentials).setProjectId(GCP_PROJECT).build().getService();

        BlobId blobId = BlobId.of(GCP_BUCKET,"blob_name3");
        BlobInfo blobInfo = BlobInfo.newBuilder(blobId).setContentType("text/plain").build();
        String str = "Hello, Cloud Storage!";

        Blob blob = storage.create(blobInfo, str.getBytes());
        System.out.println("time:="+blob.getCreateTime() + ", link:"+blob.getMediaLink());
        return true;
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }
}

In debugger i found it failed at "storage.create"

I read online and only one reason which I found is "google-collet.jar". I can not find this jar in my libraries. May be is have other dependence.

Please

Answer 1

This is caused by a collision in your Guava dependencies. Some other dependency in your classpath is using a different version of Guava.

I would suggest running mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=guava and mvn dependency:tree -Dverbose -Dincludes=guava-jdk5 . This will allow you to find dependency conflicts in your classpath. The guava-jdk5 dependency is a common culprit that causes this particular error.

More information on conflict resolvement is also available on the Maven site; https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-dependency-plugin/examples/resolving-conflicts-using-the-dependency-tree.html

Once you have identified which dependency is causing the conflict, you can introduce exclusion rules in that dependency in your pom.xml to exclude the dependencies causing the issue, for example;

<exclusions>
    <exclusion>
        <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
        <artifactId>guava</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
    <exclusion>
        <groupId>com.google.guava</groupId>
        <artifactId>guava-jdk5</artifactId>
    </exclusion>
</exclusions>

I solved problem but downgrade google cloud libraries and use inputstream instead of bytes array. google deprecated this method but with downgraded libraries and with @SuppressWarnings("deprecation") it works.
