Classloading problems while migrating vom 3.1.0 to 3.2.1 [message #76330]

Hi @all,

I had a strange error here. Let me first explan my scenario. I have got an
RCP application which was based upon eclipse 3.1.0. I had written an own
logging service which used log4j (in LogServiceImpl).

I gained access to this logging service by using commons logging (because
always regsitering the log service is just to much). So all bundles im my
RCP application used commons-logging. Which then was registered to the log
service and send log message. The output looked as follows:

2006-11-03 19:30:01,933 INFO - de.dlr.test.SimpleTest - dummyCalc() called!

Now I migrated to eclipse 3.2.1 (so exchanging org.eclipse.osgi, adding
org.eclipse.equinox.* etc). and the log message changed to:

2006-11-03 19:26:45,305 INFO - de.dlr.osgi.service.log.LogServiceImpl -
dummyCalc() called!

This is kind of strange :-) I did not change code in my plugins and the
output message changed. Now my question is: has this something to do with
the refactoring of OSGi? Or with classloading? Did anything change on that
area?

King regards from Germany,

I do not understand the output. What are de.dlr.test.SimpleTest and
de.dlr.osgi.service.log.LogServiceImpl? Are these classes? If so How
does your logging system know what class called into it?

It is hard to tell what went wrong. Is there a testcase we can use to
reproduce?

I'll give it a try to give some more details. The setup is as follows:

I have a bundle de.dlr.test with a class de.dlr.test.SimpleTest in it. It
uses commons-logging to call logger.info("dummyCalc() called!");

I have a bundle which is called de.dlr.osgi.service.log which has all
classes in it which are needed to realize a logger service (Interfaces are
in in org.osgi.service.log). Also included is the configuration of
commons.logging which says to use the LogServiceImpl! LogServiceImpl
implements the interface LogService and therefore hast the methods log(). In
the method log() I'm calling log4j which then presents the output.

I will give it a try and setup a testcase so it can be tested more commonly.

I made a test setup. Feel free to download the files
http://217.79.187.62/~thijs/test/test-with-3.1.0.zip and
http://217.79.187.62/~thijs/test/test-with-3.2.1.zip.

Both include the same bundles. Only the OSGi revision changed from 3.1.0
to 3.2.1. But the output is different (See the rce.log file after
starting eclipse.exe).

In the first case (OSGi equinox version 3.1.0) it looks like:

2006-11-04 12:13:50,302 INFO - de.dlr.osgi.service.log.LogServiceImpl -
Log Service is registered
2006-11-04 12:13:50,318 INFO - de.dlr.test.TestActivator - start called

In the second case (OSGi equinox version 3.2.1) it looks like:

2006-11-04 12:13:57,240 INFO - de.dlr.osgi.service.log.LogServiceImpl -
Log Service is registered
2006-11-04 12:13:57,256 INFO - de.dlr.osgi.service.log.LogServiceImpl -
start called

The source code is included (Or for log service in
http://217.79.187.62/~thijs/test/src-log.zip)

It would be great if you could test this scenario and give a idee why
this is happing. I'm still somehow confused.

Can you attach any examples etc to a bug report. Eclipse committers
ought not run around downloading random things unless the license is
really clear. By putting it on any eclipse.org server you are
contributing it under the EPL so we are safe to look at it.

Thanks

No problem see: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=163513 :-)
