Hi,
I have an OSGi app which embeds Jetty to provide a RESTful interface
into running Drools processes. We use the gwt-console to provide these.
The gwt-console uses jta and the bitronix transaction manager (btm). But
when it gets to initialize btm it throws a ClassCastException. I add a
breakpoint in their method, shown with an asterisk here:
public TransactionManager getTransactionManager(Properties props)
throws HibernateException {
try {
Class clazz = Class.forName("bitronix.tm.TransactionManagerServices");
return (TransactionManager) clazz.getMethod("getTransactionManager",
null).invoke(null, null);//*
}
catch (Exception e) {
throw new HibernateException( "Could not obtain BTM transaction
manager instance", e );
}
}
When I Inspect the clazz.getMethod("getTransactionManager", null) it
throws a NoSuchMethodException in Eclipse at runtime, but it DOES have
the getTransactionManager method when I inspect clazz!!!!
I assume this is a classloader problem and to do with the MANIFEST.MF
However, my collegue has identical MANIFEST.MF and he DOES NOT get this
problem. I am totally lost as to why this should be. I removed older
versions of btm from the local maven repo, which was the only other
version on my machine. I checked the classloader used it is that of the
Jetty servlet.
I am complete stalled, so help much appreciated.

No responses. Does this mean that these sort of problems are just too
difficult in OSGi and I should switch to a simpler container like JPF?
Anyone?

Maybe you missed my reference to the fact this is not my code
"get-console....I add a breakpoint in their method" It is actually part
of the Hibernate transaction support, probably used by 10's of thousands
of developers. So it may be bad practice on their part, but I am not
keen to change it. I also assume that on at least several occasions
people must have used Hibernate underlying a OSGi bundled application?
The gwt console from JBoss uses Hibernate to store data about workflow
Process that run. We embedded gwt console in our OSGi plugin that uses
these workflows.
When I put the breakpoint to inspect clazz I see in
clazz.declaredPublicMethods.referent[1] the value
"getTransactionManager". But when I highlight and Inspect
clazz.getMethod("getTransactionManager", null) it throws
NoSuchMethodException. However I think that is a misleading error,
because when you take the whole line
return (TransactionManager) clazz.getMethod("getTransactionManager",
null).invoke(null, null);
It is throwing the ClassCastException after retrieving the
bitronix.tm.TransactionManagerServices.getTransactionManager.invoke(null,null)
when trying to cast to TransactionManager.
Now this is telling, when I try to attach the source for the btm
TransactionManager it cannot find it even though it is in the containing
OSGi bundle. Does this mean it is not on the classpath?
Also another point being this code works on my colleagues PC and not on
mine when we both check out the code from the same SVN repo, including
the same MANIFEST.MF. You can see the included btm jar on this line
container/lib/jta/btm-2.1.1.jar,
Still not sure how to find this error.
Thx.
David

Not being able to find the source was the clue I needed. It is supposed
to be defined for that btm jar, in the .classpath file. It turns out the
btm jar was included in the Debug runtime config, but not on the Project
classpath, my collegues must be different. Must remeber to never
assume... Thx.
