JBoss 2.4.4 / Using hashes / NoClassDefFoundError

[jwkaltz]

Hi guys, I'm trying to use hashed passwords, for which support was integrated into JBoss 2.4.4

However at runtime the server throws:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/security/Base64Encoder
at org.jboss.security.Util.encodeBase64(Util.java:264)
at org.jboss.security.auth.spi.UsernamePasswordLoginModule.createPasswordHash(UsernamePasswordLoginModule.java:270)

Should the class Base64Encoder be in lib/jboss-jaas.jar ? The org.jboss.security.Util is in there, but there is no Base64Encoder.

Looks like the 2.4.4 binary is missing that class ?

bye

It's in jbosssx.jar, in lib/ext.

However, I'm getting the same error. Usually, NoClassDefError differs from ClassNotFoundException in that there is some kind of MISMATCH between the class that it finds and the one used in the dependent class (in this case, the Util class).

Did you ever figure this out?

I wonder, actually, if it is because jboss-jaas.jar was loaded by the bootstrap classloader and jbosssx.jar was loaded by the ClassPathExtender classloader. Hmmmmm.

Adding the Base64Encoder.class file from jbosssx.jar into jboss-jaas.jar gets rid of this error. I'll file a bug on sf.net.

This bug has been fixed and will be shipped with the 2.4.5 release. Now if only we knew when to EXPECT such a beast ... :-)
