1. Re: RMI Classloading Broken
brian.stansberry Dec 22, 2009 12:54 PM (in response to brian.stansberry)Potentially we could separate the setting of these system properties from the actual opening of the port 8083 socket, doing the latter via a service in deploy/. Downside to that is if the listener service isn't deployed, we'll be setting an incorrect java.rmi.server.codebase value. -
2. Re: RMI Classloading Broken
brian.stansberry Dec 22, 2009 1:31 PM (in response to brian.stansberry)Alternative:
1) Figure out if/why anything in deployers/ needs access to a remotable naming service.
2) Fix whatever we find in 1)
3) Move RemoteNamingBean from deployers/ to deploy/. Or refactor such that the remoting aspects can move to deploy/.
4) Find anything in deploy/ that exports an RMI stub or creates a java.rmi.server.MarshalledObject. Add a dependency on jboss:service=WebServer (or some refactored version thereof).
5) Move ServiceBindingManager out of conf and into deploy/ since nothing outside of deploy/ depends on it (which is as it should be).

wolfc Dec 23, 2009 3:42 AM (in response to brian.stansberry)I would say that deployers startup should not depend on any facility. I even want to go even farther and say that deployers startup must never block (I/O etc). -

For 4 above, the original testsuite failure JIRA https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7274 is now for that

5. Re: RMI Classloading Broken
brian.stansberry Jan 4, 2010 2:57 PM (in response to wolfc)Agreed in theory, but in practice it may be a bit tricky; would be good to solve.
The tricky thing is if the deployer needs the service to do it's deploy() work (e.g. org.jboss.beanvalidation.deployers.ValidatorFactoryJndiBinderDeployer binds stuff in JNDI, so it needs JNDI) then the service has to be there before deploy() is called. Really, it's whatever it's deploying that depends on JNDI, not the deployer itself. But that's not so simple to express, since when the deployer does it's work, the MC might not even be aware of the deployment and thus can't enforce such a dependency. This ValidatorFactoryJndiBinderDeployer is PRE_REAL.
One approach to this kind of thing would be for the deployer to not bind anything in JNDI; rather it could create and ask the MC to install a BeanMetaData for an on-demand bean that does the binding. Then add a dependency on this bean to the DeploymentUnit.
Note that I don't see ValidatorFactoryJndiBinderDeployer itself being deployed anywhere, so this specific example may not be a real use case.

6. Re: RMI Classloading Broken
dallen6 Jan 4, 2010 11:36 AM (in response to brian.stansberry)I think this is the same problem with the Profile Service no longer working remotely. I tried to update our Weld TCK Test Harness for 6.0.0-SNAPSHOT, but the client impl classes for the Profile Service are no longer available. They were removed from the JBossAS client libs sometime after M1 and are now included in the server lib directory. Debugging only showed me that all three classloading options in ClassLoaderUtil on the client side were exhausted with no luck.
I held off on filing a Profile Service bug till I could see if something more pervasive, like this problem, existed in AS 6.0.0 trunk. On the other hand, I could file the bug and reference the JIRA reports mentioned above?

brian.stansberry Jan 4, 2010 1:05 PM (in response to dallen6)David, as we discussed privately while the forums weren't working, Emanuel's looking into why the ProfileService classes aren't showing up in the proper locations. -
8. Re: RMI Classloading Broken
brian.stansberry Feb 4, 2010 4:25 PM (in response to brian.stansberry)The ProfileService changes potentially in the works for M3 may make all existing issues related to deployment phases (conf/bindings.beans, conf/jboss-service.xml, deployers. deploy) somewhat obsolete. Or at least very different in nature.
So, I don't want to risk stability in trunk by moving everything to deploy/ for M2. For M2 I'm just going to add a hack to put an mbean in conf/jboss-service.xml that sets java.rmi.server.codebase. Jaikiran has already dealt with java.rmi.server.RMIClassLoaderSpi in his fix for https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7588

bstansberry@jboss.com wrote in https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7588:
A month ago I worked through and tested how to move everything into deploy, it's mostly a matter of checking whether M2 actually *has* deployers that directly bind stuff in JNDI and then making a go/no-go decision. There were some in the plans a month ago, but last I checked they weren't actually implemented.
For the record - EJB3.1 nointerface view deployer processes a deployment unit and installs a MC bean (BeanMetaData) into the kernel. The MC bean on its start binds proxy to the JNDI. However, the BeanMetaData does not (currently) have any explicit dependencies on this RMI classloading service. IMO, i think the RMI classloading is an internal impl dependency of the naming service, so adding it as a dependency in the BeanMetaData perhaps isn't right from a deployer point of view. -
10. Re: RMI Classloading Broken
brian.stansberry Feb 6, 2010 7:14 PM (in response to jaikiran)Absolutely. Your BeanMetaData should have a dependency on LocalNamingBean, or some alias thereof, or if it binds in some child context on whatever bean creates that child context. It's then up to the configuration of LocalNamingBean to ensure this classloading stuff gets done first. Right now that could be done by adding a depends to LocalNamingBean. The ProfileService stuff Emanuel's planning will allow something a bit cleaner, an "optional dependency" notion that imposes ordering if the dependency exists but doesn't fail the dependent item if the dependency doesn't exist.
BTW, for M2 I already put in the conf/jboss-service.xml hack I described above.

Ah right! Makes sense to add a dependency on the NamingBean. I earlier, incorrectly, thought that we were discussing about adding a dependency on the classloading stuff.

12. Re: RMI Classloading Broken
brian.stansberry Feb 7, 2010 10:28 AM (in response to jaikiran)Yeah, sorry, my stuff above wasn't very clear.
There are a number of beans that just assume local JNDI is available without adding any dependency; those should be cleaned up:
