Hi All !

I've been trying to integrate Castor into JBoss for 4 days now. After Reading tons of docs I wondered if someone could help me a bit... I'm trying to acces Castor JDO through JNDI.
Sorry for the length of this post, I tried to make it short whithout overlooking too many details.

Tools versions :
- JBoss-3.2.5
- Castor-0.9.5.3
- JVM : jrockit81sp2_141_05
- OS : Windows XP - Home edition

1 - I checked out JBoss from CVS this way :

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jboss login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/jboss co -r JBoss_3_2_5 jboss-3.2

2 - Then build JBoss using build.bat, everything worked fine.

3 - I've created this directory :
jboss/server/default/deploy/castor-jdo-plugin.sar

which has the following structure :

castor-jdo-plugin.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml
castor-jdo-plugin.sar/org/jboss/jdo/castor/CastorJDOImpl.class
castor-jdo-plugin.sar/org/jboss/jdo/castor/CastorJDOImplMBean.class

These two last files come from the varia\output\classes\org\jboss\jdo\castor directory after jboss build has completed.

4 - I put castor-0.9.5.3.jar in the jboss/server/default/lib directory

castor-jdo-plugin.sar/META-INF/jboss-service.xml contains the following xml :

<server>

 <mbean code="org.jboss.jdo.CastorJDOImpl" name="DefaultDomain:service=castorJDO,name=castorJdo">
 <attribute name="Configuration">file:../conf/default/database.xml</attribute>
 <attribute name="JndiName">jdo/castorJdo</attribute>
 <attribute name="LockTimeout">0</attribute>
 <attribute name="LoggingEnabled">false</attribute>
 <attribute name="CommonClassPath">false</attribute>
 <attribute name="AutoStore">true</attribute>
 <attribute name="DatabasePooling">true</attribute>
 </mbean>

</server>

database.xml contains the following xml :

<database name="dietavenuedb" engine="mysql" >
 <jndi name="java:/DietAvenueDS"/>
 <mapping href="mapping-byhand.xml" />
</database>

5 - When I start JBoss I get the following exception :

11:15:15,296 WARN [NestedThrowable] Duplicate throwable nesting of same base type:
class org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException is assignable from:

It seems that I have a ClassLoader problem which I happen to be unable to solve. I'd greatly appreciate your help but hope not to waste your time in the case I would not have read all that I should have read to solve my problem.

Does anybody has an idea on how to access Castor JDO through JNDI ?

Thanks for your time and reading and sorry for my spelling mistakes.

Benoit.
