Problem with installing EclipseLink 2.0.2 on Glassfish 3.0 [message #534884]

Hello,

I lately installed Glassfish 3.0, which comes with EclipseLink 2.0.0 out of the box.
I'm trying to upgrade eclipse link to 2.0.2.

For this task I'm using "felix shell" which comes with glassfish (felix is the environment that lets me upgrade OSGI components in glassfish).

I try to update (or install) EclipseLink 2.0.2 with this URL :
http:// download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/releases/2.0.2/eclipseli nk-plugins-2.0.2.v20100323-r6872.zip

(Is this the right link for OSGI bundles?)

After runnin the install command in felix shell I get one line with "NullPointerException" and that's all.

I really don't know if the problem is with EclipseLink, Glassfish, felix or unsatisfying breakfast. But if someone has any clue, or encountered a similar problem and solved it, I'll appreciate it.

Thanks

I believe that Glassfish just uses the eclipselink.jar. Just replace the jar on the Glassfish lib directory with the newer one.

Anyway, what is the stack trace of the NPE? What exact shell commands did you try to run?
A better way to upgrade the bundles is to first get hold of the newrer eclipselink jar files and then just overwrite the ones found in glassfish/modules/ directory with the new ones followed by restart of glassfish. GlassFish will automatically detect changes to the jar files and upgrade the bundle.

You should ask such questions in glassfish forum.

Could you please be more specific about the newer file and how I can get it?
The bundle that I have downloaded from the link above is a zip file with a lot of jars, none of them named "eclipselink.jar".
The closest one is "eclipselink-jpa-modelgen_2.0.2.v20100323-r6872.jar" but I'm not sure it's the file you meant.

GlassFish uses the following eclipselink artifacts:
org.eclipse.persistence.antlr.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.asm.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.core.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.jpa.modelgen.jar
org.eclipse.persistence.oracle.jar

GlassFish gets them from eclipselink maven repo and strip the version number from the jar file names before redistributing. I don't know where eclipselink project hosts the individual jars. Don't you see the such jars in the zip file you downloaded? Can you do a "unzip -l" of the zip file you have downloaded and tell what it reports?

The files you have mentioned appear. But, I'm using Glassfish and now EclipseLink in production site and cannot afford any mistakes. Replacing individual jars might work but sounds just too risky for me. Isn't any other "straightforward" way for doing a simple upgrade?

You are right; it is not advisable to upgrade that way if you are not sure. Normally GlassFish users use update centre (accessed via glassfish admin console) to upgrade software components. I don't know if there is a new version of eclipselink package in glassfish update centre. You may like to check in glassfish forum. I don' think this is an appropriate place to have this discussion.

Having said that you can certainly try by replacing the files in a test environment and see how it goes just for the sake of trying out at least.

Sahoo, Thank you very much for your help so far.
I'll check again in Glassfish forum (I already have asked the same question there but didn't get any answer, and as far as I know they don't have any relevant update in the update center).
