Getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory exception

The java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.logging.LogFactory exception is thrown when a Java application is unable to find the LogFactory class from the Apache Commons Logging library. This can happen if the Apache Commons Logging library is not in the classpath of the application, or if the library is present but there is a problem with its class files.

To fix this exception, you will need to ensure that the Apache Commons Logging library is in the classpath of your application. If the library is not in the classpath, you can add it by adding the appropriate JAR file to your project, or by including it in your build script if you are using a build tool such as Maven or Gradle.

If the library is in the classpath but you are still getting the ClassNotFoundException, it is possible that there is a problem with the class files of the library. In this case, you may need to delete the library and add it again, or try using a different version of the library.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
