Mozilla Rhino Class Loading Issue w/ BIRT in webapp [message #507081] Tue, 12 January 2010 00:50 Go to next message

We are getting an issue with mozilla rhino classes not getting
initialized properly with BIRT. If the Platform is started before any
other code accesses Rhino classes then the problem occurs. If code other
than BIRT accesses Rhino classes first, then the problem does not occur.


Mozilla Rhino Source (1.7R1) For Context.emptyArgs Field:

public static final Object[] emptyArgs = ScriptRuntime.emptyArgs;

My Test Code:

System.out.println("Context.emptyArgs -> " +
org.mozilla.javascript.Context.emptyArgs);


and output follows.


BIRT First To Access Class (broken)
--------------------------

Context.emptyArgs -> null


BIRT Second To Access Class (works)
---------------------------

Context.emptyArgs -> [Ljava.lang.Object;@b778cf



We are using BIRT 2.5.1 in our web app.

Any ideas on why this happens or suggestions on where to go from here?

Russ,

What JVM are you using? Do you have js.jar some other place in the web
app or JRE?

I'm using the SUN JVM (1.6.14 and 1.6.17) in server mode, also tested in
client made with the same result. I have only one jar of Mozilla Rhino
in the web app. Same version as required by the BIRT libraries I'm
using. This issue exists when running under Jetty as well as Tomcat. I
get the same class information in both cases: BIRT loads rhino classes
first or webapp code loads rhino classes first.

Class Information
-----------------
Class: org.mozilla.javascript.NativeJavaMethod
ClassLoader: sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@2bbd86
ProtectionDomain: ProtectionDomain
(file:/home/russ/workspace33_domainmodel/mozilla-rhino/mozil la-rhino.jar
<no signer certificates>)
sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@2bbd86
<no principals>
java.security.Permissions@15be51a (
(java.lang.RuntimePermission exitVM)
(java.io.FilePermission
/home/russ/workspace33_domainmodel/mozilla-rhino/mozilla-rhi no.jar read)

)

I noticed that OSGILauncher loads the classes I'm having problems with
on platform startup. It appears that they are not being initialized as
described in
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/third_edition/html/execut ion.html#44630

I'm not a classloading expert so I'm not sure if this is a VM bug or an
application bug.

If I change the following in OSGILauncher.java:


// Weblogic 8.1SP6 contains old version JS.JAR, we need
// set pref-web-inf to true, if we set it to true, the
// URL classloader still loads the JS in weblogic, so
// load the class explicitly.
try
{
loader.loadClass( "org.mozilla.javascript.Context" );
loader.loadClass( "org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable" );
loader.loadClass( "org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptableObject" );
// frameworkClassLoader.loadClass(
// "org.mozilla.javascript.Context"
}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
}

TO

try
{
System.err.println("Loading mozilla javascript Context through " + loader);

this.getClass().forName( "org.mozilla.javascript.Context" );
this.getClass().forName( "org.mozilla.javascript.Scriptable" );
this.getClass().forName( "org.mozilla.javascript.ScriptableObject" );

}
catch ( Exception ex )
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}

it works as expected since Class.forName initializes immediately;
whereas, loadClass(String) defers initialization. I tried to create a
simpler test case with only Rhino, but I was unable to do so and still
reproduce the issue. I'm not sure if BIRT has a class loading bug
related to this, or if it's a VM issue, or something else.

Russ,

Can you open up a bugzilla entry for this and paste your current findings?

Thanks

Jason
