Re: [virgo-dev] class loaders in context.xml
I think a better approach would be to create a fragment bundle with this manifest:

Bundle-ManifestVersion: 2

Bundle-Name: Gemini Web Tomcat extra imports

Bundle-SymbolicName: org.eclipse.gemini.web.tomcat.loader.fragment

Bundle-Version: 1

Fragment-Host: org.eclipse.gemini.web.tomcat

Import-Package: org.apache.catalina.loader;version="6.0.29.S2-r1559"


You might also need to import:

 org.apache.catalina.util;version="6.0.29.S2-r1559",

 org.apache.catalina.core;version="6.0.29.S2-r1559",

 org.apache.catalina;version="6.0.29.S2-r1559"


Try with the minimal set of org.apache.catalina.loader to see if that will be enough.


This is going to be a manifest only bundle.  You can easily create it in Eclipse.  Add this bundle to either repository/ext or repository/usr.  Restart with -clean.


Give that a try.  At least you wouldn't need to crack open a jar and deal with the manifest format (counting chars and wrapping properly).


You might still run into an issue with classes used internally by WebappLoader.  It uses some classes that are not exported by catalina bundle (org.apache.naming.resources package).

Hi,
 
Can you try the following:
 
go to <VWS-home-dir>/repository/ext
 
open org.eclipse.gemini.web.tomcat...jar

in the META-INF/MANIFEST.MF add import package org.apache.catalina.loader and try again the application with custom classloader.
 
Then share with us the result.

Hi  Violeta,

Hi,
 
I'm interested in what exactly the exception was because I can see from your original post only:
 
Caused by: org.eclipse.gemini.web.core.spi.ServletContainerException: Web application at '/EMA-Server' failed to start. Check the logs for more details.
 
So what was the real cause for the problem?

Hi,
 
I'm afraid I'm out of educated guesses now. Will have to see if anyone else in the community has any ideas.

Hi Chris,
    Yes, the log shows that virgo is havinng problem with the loaderClass in the context.xml file. I also tried delegate="true", but didn't help. What do you mean by "depending on how the custom classloader is initialised"?
 
Is there any workaround? I would appreciate any other pointers.

Hi,
 
Thanks for trying Virgo out.
 
I believe that the classloader you are trying to use there would constitute a custom classloader. Before trying to 'fix' this it would be best to confirm this is the problem. I would look in the config/serviceability.xml file and up the level of logging, maybe to 'DEBUG'. Then restart with the '-clean' option and deploy your app again. Now go and look in the log.log file and see what the first error to occur is. Now you will see the real cause.
 
If it is indeed classloading related from the application 'war' bundle then you could trying setting delegate="true". This might work, by falling back to the original classloader that is OSGi friendly, depending on how the custom classloader is initialised. 
 
Thanks,
Chris.

Hello,
       We have become very interested in VWS and are trying to migrate our application from Tomcat. As the first step, following the documentation, I dropped our application WAR (which works on Tomcat 6) in the pickup directory. According to the log, VWS installs the WAR, but fails to start it.

While searching in the documentation, I came across the following note. It got my attention, as we use the TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader in the Tomcat's context.xml packaged in our WAR file.
Note that the following context configuration features are not supported in Virgo Web Server:

  • Custom class loaders

 Is TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader  considered a "Custom class loader" in VWS? If yes, is there any workaround for it? Here's the line from our context.xml file:
 
 <Loader
  loaderClass="org.springframework.instrument.classloading.tomcat.TomcatInstrumentableClassLoader"
  useSystemClassLoaderAsParent="false" />
Thanks in advance,
