Building JGroups 2.2.9 off CVS

[abitha]

Hi all,

Bela asked me to try something with the new JGroups 2.2.9 from CVS head. This is my first time working with CVS and building, and I am facing some problems with that. I am hoping someone can help me.

This is my first time getting code off cvs and building. This is what I did..

cygwin:

cvs -d:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/javagroups login

cvs -d:pserver:[e-mail]:/cvsroot/javagroups co JGroups

I got the source, and I did - ./build.sh
- ant all

I found two jar files in dist folder: jgroups-all.jar and jgroups-core.jar. I renamed jgroups-all.jar to jgroups.jar and copied into my lib folder.

I am not sure if my steps are correct. I did find releasenotes-2.2.8.txt in the /doc folder. Did I get 2.2.9?

Anyways, I copied the new jgroups.jar into my lib folder and started the server. I constantly get the following error message in my logs without even doing anything.

2005-08-18 14:38:29,593 ERROR [org.jgroups.blocks.RpcDispatcher] exception=java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: boolean

I used java 1.4.2_07

The app does not work well with the above errors in the log. Should I be doing something differently. Has someone else done this ?

Thanks, Abitha.

You can find out the right version by calling:
java -jar jgroups.jar:
Version: 2.2.9 alpha
CVS: $Id: Version.java,v 1.22 2005/07/17 11:38:05 chrislott Exp $
History: (see doc/history.txt for details)

Can you try with JDK 5? I'll quickly try with JDK 1.4.2 on my end here...

[belaban]

Oops, even get the same problem on JDK 5...

[belaban]

Okay, fixed the problem. This was due to me not catching a ClassNotFoundException.
Thanks for the catch ! Check out the src code again and let me know whether it works now.

Bela,

Looks like that problem is gone now. We have scheduled a test for tomorrow (Tuesday). I will test with the new jar , and let you know the message.

Thanks, Abitha.

How do I get the src of a JGroups version that is not the CVS head? I would like to download JGroups 2.2.8 source...Should the module name be different?

Thanks!

cvs co -d JGroups-2.2.8 -r JGROUPS_2_2_8 JGroups
