Third party libraries are not loaded

[dimonv]

Hi all,

I have a JCA resource adapter which is using third party libraries. RA implamentation' JAR as well as thisrd party JARs are packaged into RAR file, deployed in <AS7>/standalone/deployments directory. But on bootstrapping of RA the thirdparty classes cannot be found.

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.iona.corba.art.artimpl.ORBImpl from [Module "org.jboss.as.connector:main" from local module loader @19eda2c (roots: C:\eplatform\jboss\AS-7.1\modules)]

whereby com.iona.corba.art.artimpl.ORBImpl is in a jar on the root of RAR.

Did anybody face a similar problem?

Does anybody have a dummy sample RA for testing?

I think it's a bug.

Seriously ?

There are plenty of test cases in the AS7 test suite, and forum threads about deployments - WebSphereMQ, ActiveMQ, ...

You need to actually do some work yourself

• Try the latest nightly snapshot
• Verify that your deployment is correctly setup
• That your archive comforms to the JCA standard
• Look for differences against successful deployments; why not start with deploying ActiveMQ ?
• Deploy on IronJacamar/Standalone
• Actually post your full configuration (standalone.xml)
• Show the content of your archive
• Read the documentation about resource adapters in AS7
• Read the documentation about classloading in AS7
• Check *ALL* classloading done within the resource adapter

Saying "It doesn't work" isn't going to help you.

If you don't want to go through the above, then buy a subscription and have support help you.

Please believe what I did is not only putting RAR to deployments directory and said "it doesn't work"

Let me see what I've already done:

• Try the latest nightly snapshot

I didn't

• Verify that your deployment is correctly setup

I did: by means of ironjacamar-1.1.0.Alpha5\doc\as>rar-info.bat and validator.bat:

C:\OS\ironjacamar-1.1.0.Alpha5\doc\validator>validator.bat jp-infra-corba-resourceadapter.rar

C:\OS\ironjacamar-1.1.0.Alpha5\doc\validator>java -classpath ..\..\lib\ironjacamar-validator-cli.jar;..\..\lib\ironjacamar-common-spi.jar;..\..\lib\jb
oss-logging.jar;..\..\lib\jboss-common-core.jar;..\..\lib\ironjacamar-spec-api.jar;..\..\lib\papaki-core.jar;..\..\lib\javassist.jar;..\..\lib\ironjac
amar-common-impl.jar;..\..\lib\ironjacamar-common-impl-papaki.jar;..\..\lib\ironjacamar-common-api.jar;..\..\lib\ironjacamar-validator.jar org.jboss.j
ca.validator.cli.Main jp-infra-corba-resourceadapter.rar
Validation sucessful

looks good.

• That your archive comforms to the JCA standard

It is, at least to the documentation http://docs.jboss.org/ironjacamar/userguide/1.0/en-US/html_single/#packagingrequirements. Moreover it was runing well on JBoss 4.2.3

• Look for differences against successful deployments; why not start with deploying ActiveMQ ?

I'm appreciate every deployable RA sample. Unfortunately I've never heard about that. Please write where can I find it?

• Deploy on IronJacamar/Standalone

?

• Read the documentation about resource adapters in AS7
• Read the documentation about classloading in AS7

If you means these then yes:

• https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Resource+adapters
• https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Class+Loading+in+AS7

• Check *ALL* classloading done within the resource adapter

I would realy like to know how. I spent hours on debugging, but didn't notice that modules CL "org.jboss.as.connector" has any hints to load classes from RAR except those of (managed) connection factory.

Regarding Active MQ what I found are two "Not Answered" forum topics.

https://community.jboss.org/thread/172319

https://community.jboss.org/message/648940#648940

Could you provide any successful deployments of ActiveMQ?

BTW we have support subscription, we are even included into the EA program. That's why we are trying to test JBoss AS 7.
