I created this function to load the contents of the different website using jsoup

<cffunction name="fetchDivContent" returnType="any" hint="Fetches and returns the content of a specific div">
        <cfargument name="targetUrl" type="string" required="yes" hint="The URL of the page containing the target div">
        <cfset var httpResponse = "" >
        <cfset var document = "" >
        <cfset var divContent = "" >
        <cftry>
            <!--- Send HTTP request to fetch the page content --->
            <cfhttp url="#arguments.targetUrl#" method="GET">
            <cfset httpResponse = cfhttp.FileContent>
            <!--- Parse the HTML content --->
            <cfset document = createObject("java", "org.jsoup.Jsoup").parse(httpResponse)>
            <!--- Find the <div> by its class name and extract its inner HTML --->
            <cfset divContent = document.select(".table-1").outerHtml()>
            <cfcatch type="any">
                <cfdump var="#cfcatch#">
                <!--- Log error if any occurs during fetching or parsing --->
                <cf_log type="error" file="#request.logs#/jsoupFailed.csv" text="#cfcatch.message#" time="#TimeFormat(now(),'long')#" date="#DateFormat(now(),'long')#">
            </cfcatch>
        </cftry>
        <cfreturn divContent>
    </cffunction>

but i am getting object initiation error i had setit tup in application.cfc as:

this.javaSettings = {
        loadPaths               : [expandPath("./jars")],
        loadColdFusionClassPath : true,
        reloadOnChange          : false,
        watchInterval           : 100,
        watchExtensions         : "jar"
     };

and also verified that the jar files are in the right path

Good clear code example there. Can you pls also give the exact error message? Copy & paste the text.

dump

expandPath("./jars")

just to make sure the files are there.

I did a dump and it’s rightly pointing to the path and the jar file

OK so if

loadPaths : [expandPath("./jars")],

didn't exist, you'd get a

The directory or file [whatevs] specified in LOADPATHS does not exist

error, so I'm guessing it's not that. I'd stick this in yer Application.cfc and see what it says:

writeDump([
        dir = expandPath("./jars"),
        dirExists = directoryExists(expandPath("./jars")),
        files = directoryList(expandPath("./jars"))
    ])

Does the

files

bit list the jsoup jar?

The only thing different in my code is I used a full path, rather than a relative one (eg:

/jars

rather than

./jars

). If CF loads the file at runtime, when the

createObject

is called, that path might be (incorrectly) interpreted as being relative to the file with the

createObject

call, not relative to Application.cfc's location?

I can try that but I do not see it will have a difference

Well do you want to put a small amount of effort in to solving the problem, or do you want to stick with non-working code and "not see it will have a difference"

i changed as you said, but still same error Object Instantiation Exception. Class not found: org.jsoup.Jsoup

may be some issue with jsoup jar file, try to download latest jsoup version and test.

its the latest file

OK can you put a

throw "yup";

in the Application.cfc just before the

javaSettings

, to demonstrate you have that config in the same Application.cfc that's being executed for the code yer running?
