Hi, I am writing a java plugin which uses Mustache and **NoClassDefFoundError** exception is thrown by ElasticSearch, When I am trying to create an instance of class "MustacheScriptEngineService". `final ScriptEngineService engine = new MustacheScriptEngineService();` Elastic Search version :5.4.1 I am using maven and i have added following dependencies in pom.xml org.elasticsearch.plugin lang-mustache-client 5.4.1 Build succeeds but NoClassDefFoundError is thrown at runtime when i try to access java plugin.

Hey, I am not a hundred percent sure how this has happened, without seeing more of the code/build process. Have you considered using the `ScriptService` just create a mustache based `Script` und use the service for compilation? --Alex ---

Thanks for the reply. I tried looking into ScriptService but couldnt find anything relevant to my issue. Could you please give a example or point me to some documentation/code? What i am essentially trying to achieve here is: I want to use inline for Phrase suggester collate query. but due to security reasons we have disabled inline, hence i am trying to write a native java plugin for the same. Is this the correct approach? Is there any other way to achieve this without enabling script.inline? Any insights regarding this will be really helpful. Thanks ---

Hey, I haven't tested it, but you could try out setting the `template` script context to be allowed, see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/modules-scripting-security.html#allowed-script-contexts-setting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.2/modules-scripting-security.html#allowed-script-contexts-setting) --Alex ---

I was talking about 6.x functionality here, misread that you are using 5.x. Sorry for the confusion. Not sure if you want to enable `script.engine.mustache.inline: true` ---

Thanks. But, No. I dont want to enable inline scripts. In that case, is there any alternative to use collate queries for Phrase suggester? Also, can i use native scripts in collate queries? ---

you should be able to do sth like this ```auto "collate": { "query": { "lang" : "what_ever_your_script_engine_implements", "source" : "my_scripting_code" }, ``` see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/modules-scripting-engine.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/5.5/modules-scripting-engine.html) native scripts have been removed in 6.x in favor of custom script engines ---

Hi, Thanks a lot for your suggestion. I tried above collate query and it works fine. I would still need to take a dependency on MustacheScriptEngineService class, which is again throwing 'NoClassDefFoundError'. I want to refer this service in my plugin and i am using maven for the build process. Following is the details of the dependecies: lang-mustache-5.4.1 : located at ES\elasticsearch-5.4.1\modules\lang-mustache lang-mustache- **client** -5.4.1 : located at maven classpath (.m2\repository\org\elasticsearch\plugin\lang-mustache-client\5.4.1) pom.xml includes the mustache dependency as mentioned earlier. Build is successful but i am running into 'NoClassDefFoundError' exception. Please let me know if i am missing any dependencies or config. Any suggestions to fix this issue would be really helpful. Thanks ---

The client lib in this case is just a copy of lang-mustache with a different name (with the eventual intention to limit the client to only those classes needed by the transport client). How did you install elasticsearch and how are you starting it? ---

So then both jar would contain the class 'MustacheScriptEngineService'.? Then i am not clear why is it throwing theexception at runtime? I downloaded windows 64bit ES 5.4.1 zip file , unzipped it and just running the elasticsearch.bat file. Thanks, Ishita ---

Do you mean lib folder of Elasticsearch? Following is the list of jars present in lib folder ``` elasticsearch-5.4.1.jar HdrHistogram-2.1.9.jar hppc-0.7.1.jar jackson-core-2.8.6.jar jackson-dataformat-cbor-2.8.6.jar jackson-dataformat-smile-2.8.6.jar jackson-dataformat-yaml-2.8.6.jar java-version-checker-5.4.1.jar jna-4.4.0.jar joda-time-2.9.5.jar jopt-simple-5.0.2.jar jts-1.13.jar log4j-1.2-api-2.8.2.jar log4j-api-2.8.2.jar log4j-core-2.8.2.jar lucene-analyzers-common-6.5.1.jar lucene-backward-codecs-6.5.1.jar lucene-core-6.5.1.jar lucene-grouping-6.5.1.jar lucene-highlighter-6.5.1.jar lucene-join-6.5.1.jar lucene-memory-6.5.1.jar lucene-misc-6.5.1.jar lucene-queries-6.5.1.jar lucene-queryparser-6.5.1.jar lucene-sandbox-6.5.1.jar lucene-spatial-6.5.1.jar lucene-spatial-extras-6.5.1.jar lucene-spatial3d-6.5.1.jar lucene-suggest-6.5.1.jar securesm-1.1.jar snakeyaml-1.15.jar spatial4j-0.6.jar t-digest-3.0.jar ``` I tried adding lang-mustache-5.4.1/lang-mustache-client-5.4.1 in lib folder which gave "jar hell" error. Also i couldn't remove this jar from Modules folder, because otherwise Elasticsearch wont start successfully. ---

I mean the jars for your application. Can you confirm you: 1. Start elasticsearch using `bin/elasticsearch` 2. Start your user application with the elasticsearch transport client jar (+ transitive dependencies) and mustache client jar (+ transitive dependencies) 3. Connect to the elasticsearch service by creating a transport client, configured to the service you started in step 1 ---

Hi, I was able to figure out a workaround for this issue. If i delete the **"lang-mustache" folder** inside "modules" and place the required jar file (lang-mustache-client-5.4.1) in lib folder, then i was able to successfully create a instance of **MustacheScriptEngineService** class and use it. This is definitely not a valid solution. Also, i am not able to understand why was i able to refer a dependency present in "lib" folder and not from "lang-mustache"? Any help solving this issue would be really appreciated! Thanks ---

Sorry for the delayed reply. Why are you trying to construct MustacheScriptEngineService? This class is used internally by plugin initialization, but that is not how to use mustache from a client. Looking back at the original issue here, it looks like you are trying to write a plugin (sorry I missed this before). You should not be using a transport client. Instead, your plugin needs to use the ScriptService to compile a script, and then execute it using the script apis. ---

Are you trying to use mustache within some new api your plugin adds? If so, you need to create ScriptContext, or use an existing one. I need more information before I can give an example how to use the script service. ---
