Hi all,

I am trying to integrate spring into my RCP app. There are some problems with classloading.
Here's the relevant code: 

public static boolean login(String server, String user, String password) {
		try {
HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean remoteProxyFactory = new HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean();
		        remoteProxyFactory
					.setServiceInterface(RemoteAuthenticationManager.class);
			StringBuilder url = new StringBuilder();
			if (!server.startsWith("http://"))
				url.append("http://");
			url.append(server).append("/remoting");
			remoteProxyFactory.setServiceUrl(url.toString() + "/RemoteAuthenticationManager");
			remoteProxyFactory.afterPropertiesSet(); // <- line 46.
                       ...


The required Spring bundles are added as a dependency to my bundle. When the code executes, it throws the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: interface org.springframework.security.providers.rcp.RemoteAuthenticationManager is not visible from class loader
	at java.lang.reflect.Proxy.getProxyClass(Proxy.java:353)
	at java.lang.reflect.Proxy.newProxyInstance(Proxy.java:581)
	at org.springframework.aop.framework.JdkDynamicAopProxy.getProxy(JdkDynamicAopProxy.java:117)
	at org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactory.getProxy(ProxyFactory.java:112)
	at org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean.afterPropertiesSet(HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean.java:62)
	at myplugin.Remoting.login(Remoting.java:46)
       ...


Now it all comes down to the method java.lang.reflect.Proxy#getProxyClass(ClassLoader loader, Class<?>... interfaces). Debugging revealed that the ClassLoader given to the method was the same as Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() in the login method of my plugin. When I added the line:

...
Class.forName("org.springframework.security.providers.rcp.RemoteAuthenticationManager",false,Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()); // <- the new line
remoteProxyFactory.afterPropertiesSet(); //<-- line 46.
...


before the invocation of the afterPropertiesSet() method in my plugin code, it all worked fine. So if anybody could explain to me what is happening there (something to do with parent classloaders?) I would be very grateful.

Unfortunately this is not where my problems end. Few lines after the first excerpt I have:

Authentication request = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(user, password);
Authentication result = provider.authenticate(request); // <- line 90


and I get the following exception:

org.springframework.remoting.RemoteAccessException: Could not deserialize result from HTTP invoker remote service [http://localhost:8080/remoting/RemoteAuthenticationManager]; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.springframework.remoting.support.RemoteInvocationResult
	at org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerClientInterceptor.convertHttpInvokerAccessException(HttpInvokerClientInterceptor.java:208)
	at org.springframework.remoting.httpinvoker.HttpInvokerClientInterceptor.invoke(HttpInvokerClientInterceptor.java:145)
	at org.springframework.aop.framework.ReflectiveMethodInvocation.proceed(ReflectiveMethodInvocation.java:172)
	at org.springframework.aop.framework.JdkDynamicAopProxy.invoke(JdkDynamicAopProxy.java:202)
	at $Proxy0.attemptAuthentication(Unknown Source)
	at org.springframework.security.providers.rcp.RemoteAuthenticationProvider.authenticate(RemoteAuthenticationProvider.java:61)
	at myplugin.Remoting.login(Remoting.java:90)
       ...


Here adding the Class.forName() won't help. I tried the trick explained in http://www.eclipsezone.com/eclipse/forums/t61831.html but it doesn't help either. Do I need to add buddy classloading to spring bundles (between spring bundles?). I have probably misunderstood some basic stuff. I would appreciate if anyone can provide me with some pointers on what/where to investigate further.

Thanks.

OFF Topic:

sorry use your question but, what you bunbled in the spring osgi ?

All jars form spring + your jars + dependencies ?

Also, the application context you load/stop in osgi start/stop;

Im starting to read how i can use spring in a rcp.... any info can help;

Regards.

Have you resolved this yet?
I am getting a similar error with a project I am working on.
I believe this problem i similar to an indirect reference error.
because spring is making a remote call to some other module the library that is being referenced needs to exist in both places. if the library does not exist in the originators class path then the object cannot be deserialized because the class definition was never loaded into the class loader.

I may be off the mark here but I'm pretty confident in this train of thought.
