java.beans.XMLDecoder parse error in Plugin [message #272988] Wed, 29 September 2004 14:04 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I've got a strange situation whereby I am unable to parse a file generated
by java.beans.XMLEncoder using the XMLDecoder within a plugin environment.
It feels like some kind of class loading problem whereby the XMLDecoder
cannot locate the com.eyeris.common.fileserver.FileServerFile class but I
can't figure it out as the plugin declares the correct dependencies and I'm
able to instantiate a dummy class instance.

Here's the test that works as a stand-alone java project, invoking the same
code within the context of a plugin fails everytime. The file I'm reading
and the stack trace from the plugin invocation are included below:

public class decodertest {

public static void main(String args[]) {
ExceptionListener listener = new ExceptionListener() {

public void exceptionThrown(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}

};

// Create dummy instance to verify class loading
com.eyeris.common.fileserver.FileServerFile fsf = new
com.eyeris.common.fileserver.FileServerFile();

XMLDecoder d = null;
try {
d = new XMLDecoder(
new BufferedInputStream(
new FileInputStream("C:/temp/XMLDecoderIn.txt")), null,
listener);
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
Object result = d.readObject();
d.close();

}
}

The file I'm trying to read/parse:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<java version="1.4.2_05" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
<object class="java.util.LinkedList">
<void method="add">
<object class="com.eyeris.common.fileserver.FileServerFile">
<void property="length">
<long>0</long>
</void>
<void property="name">
<string>condcomponent.cond</string>
</void>
<void property="url">
<string>epfs://localhost/condcomponent.cond</string>
</void>
</object>
</void>
</object>
</java>
