JBoss 5.1.0GA to Weblogic 8.1 Bridge - Getting CNFE for weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory

[Dave Hinkle]

Hi all,

I'm attempting to define a JBoss to Weblogic bridge, and having a tough time of it.

I get a CNFE (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException) attempting to load the weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory class.

My environment is this:

Linux CentOS v5.4
JBoss 5.1.0GA installed from jboss-5.1.0.GA-jdk6.zip, running a copy of "default" JBoss server configuration.
java version "1.6.0_17"
Weblogic 8.1 SP3 running under Java v1.4 on a different host.

I've tried just deploying my app-bridge-service.xml file with the Weblogic wlclient.jar and wljmsclient.jar in the server/xxx/lib directory.
I've tried packaging my app-bridge-service.xml and the above jars into a .jar file (and removing the wl*.jar files from server/xxx/lib directory) and still get the same issue.
The app-bridge.jar structure looks like this:

META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
lib/
lib/wlclient.jar
lib/wljmsclient.jar
app-bridge-service.xml

Below is the JBoss console output from my app-bridge.jar testcase:

I've setup Classloader logging, and below are excerpts (grep WLInitial ucl.log) of what I see (this file is huge, let me know if you need more detail):

What caught my eye in the above was this statement:

[996607,BaseClassLoader,Thread-18] BaseClassLoader@11903ab{vfszip:/home/dh3235/jboss/bridge/deploy/app-bridge.jar/} resource is blacklisted weblogic/jndi/WLInitialContextFactory .class

I haven't been able to figure out how to un-blacklist this and make it work (though I have seen thru the JMX console that I can unblacklist a class, and have tried that, but I still get the CNFE). Not sure if I'm on the right track here or not... If I am, is there any good docs on Classloader blacklisting? My googling hasn't produced anything of value...

So, I'm reaching out for help here.

Thanks,
Dave

[Dave Hinkle]

Argh, I've figured out why I'm getting the CNFE.

My JMSProvider configuration in wlsjms-ds.xml, which calls out weblogic.jndi.WLInitialContextFactory, had spaces at the end of the line.

What tipped me off were the line like these from the Classloader logging:

[991462,BaseClassLoaderDomain,HDScanner] ClassLoaderDomain@1a2f02e{DefaultDomain} trying to load weblogic/jndi/WLInitialContextFactory   .class from all exports of package weblogic.jndi null

The spaces between weblogic/jndi/WLInitialContextFactory and .class was the tip off.

As to the blacklisting, it appears that this happens when the classloader attempts to load the class and gets a CNFE (simplified explanation of it I guess).

So, now off to figure out why I can't get the bridge to work with just wlclient.jar and wljmsclient.jar...

I'll post more as I figure it out.

Thanks,
Dave
