Cannot use java classes to execute prolog predicates

Hi. I wanted to instantiate some classes from my owl file using the data received from sensor ROS node. So I defined some predicates to do that (very similar to the predicates given in knowron_perception_tutorial package) in a .pl file. I am loading this prolog file while launching json_prolog launcher. I also made a subscriber and knowledge_update functions/threads in java, following the same package. I am using a python node that publishes sensor data.

The problem is that when I try to query the knowledge base using a python script, I get the following error: Prolog query failed: PrologException: error(java_exception(@('J#00000000001832433860')), 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError')"

I am guessing that the java class files(generated using ROSMAKE) is not accessible. I have made the file path reference in java and CMakeList similar to the way done in knowledge_perception_tutorial. What am I missing? Thanks.

Do you export the bin folder of your package in the manifest.xml?

Please have a look at this file as an example: https://github.com/knowrob/knowrob/bl...

EDIT: The problem seems to be the launch file you are using that starts the json_prolog executable directly. Once this node has been started, the JVM is initialized and modifications of the CLASSPATH variable do not have any effect any more. There is a special script in the rosprolog package called run_with_prolog_env that exports the CLASSPATH before launching json_prolog. You can have a look at an example in the launch file of the ias_semantic_map package.

Yes, I have imported the bin folder in manifest.xml. Still the same error. I think it has to do with this issue https://github.com/knowrob/knowrob/issues/40

That issues applies only if the JVM has already been initialized, i.e. normally if you manually load a package after KnowRob has been started. If you load packages from within the init.pl, that usually does not apply.

Could you please post your CMakelists, manifest and init.pl and the command you use for launching?

Thanks Moritz. That solved the problem. There is another problem, different but related. I will ask it separately.
