Unable to load standalone war webapp using JSF 2.0 [message #654517]

I am experimenting with Virgo by loading up a standalone JSF 2.0 with Primefaces 2.2.1, and Virgo complains with this message:

Cause: error Exception: org.eclipse.virgo.util.osgi.manifest.parse.BundleManifestPar seException: Error parsing bundle manifest header [javax.faces/com.sun.faces.mojarra-jsf-api] HP003E:[col 11]: Unexpected character '/' (47) HP013E:[col 12]: Expected a semicolon but found 'com' at org.eclipse.virgo.util.osgi.manifest.parse.standard.Standard HeaderParser.parseBundleSymbolicName(StandardHeaderParser.ja va:96) at org.eclipse.virgo.util.osgi.manifest.internal.StandardBundle SymbolicName.parse(StandardBundleSymbolicName.java:33) at org.eclipse.virgo.util.osgi.manifest.internal.BaseParameteri sed.resetFromParseString(BaseParameterised.java:42)

The close i can get is in sun jsf 2.0 api, its manifest file has this entry:

Bundle-SymbolicName: javax.faces/com.sun.faces.mojarra-jsf-api
Implementation-Title: Mojarra

is it a valid entry? Should Virgo care about the isolated webapp's manifest's content?

Thanks all advices

The OSGi spec does not permit '/' in a bundle symbolic name.

If this JAR is being installed as a bundle into Virgo, Virgo requires that its manifest is invalid. (But Violeta asks some good questions below.)

Hi,

The Bundle-SymbolicName has to follow the syntax:

Bundle-SymbolicName ::= symbolic-name
( ';' parameter ) *

where
digit ::= [0..9]
alpha ::= [a..zA..Z]
alphanum ::= alpha | digit
token ::= ( alphanum | '_' | '-' )+
symbolic-name ::= token('.'token)*

i.e. you cannot use "/"
you can check more about this in the spec [1]

Could you please tell more about your use case i.e. do you put JSF 2.0 binaries inside the web app or you are installing the JSF 2.0 as a regular bundle?
How are you packing your web application?

Regards
Violeta

Thanks you for the reply, I switch to jsf''s myface and problem go away. Will file a bug against Sun JSF thou

Also, I have jsf api and implementation included under my WEB-INF/lib directory. So this should be a standalone webapp, no share lib/services

I package my webapp as a war file using maven-war-plugin, both jsf api and impl are under WEB-INF/lib

I will file a bug against Sun's JSF

Thanks

It could be argued that there is also a bug in Gemini Web as it probably shouldn't be so strict on manifests of JARs in WEB-INF/lib as such JARs need not be treated as OSGi bundles.

However any JARs that have OSGi metadata really should conform to the OSGi syntax so that the JARs can easily be broken out as external dependencies of the web app, so I think we'll let the current behaviour continue.

I have committed the fix to the sources for trunk, 2.0, and 2.1 branches.

I have also started modifying the manifests for the maven repository jars at http://download.java.net/maven/2. I started out with Mojarra 2.0.4-b09.

Please confirm that this solves your problem with that version and I'll proceed to write a script that does the rest.

Thanks,

Ed

FYI, with the quick fix from Ed, I am able to load my war file to Virgo.

Thanks
