Hi all, we face the following problem: We would like to be able to trigger a chain of events, say by JMX-Bean in on OSGi bundle [A]. [A] then calls up an OSGi Service/Class located in bundle [B] using an interface exported by [B]. Now [B] tries to make a remote EJB lookup into an ear [C] on an interface it imported from another OSGi Bundle [D]. This fails with the following stacktrace: [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,245 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) javax.naming.NamingException: Could not load ejb proxy class steffen.experimental.remote.ejb.RemoteCalculator [Root exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: steffen.experimental.remote.ejb.RemoteCalculator from [Module "deployment.steffen.experimental.ejb-remote.twice-removed:0.0.1.SNAPSHOT" from Service Module Loader]] [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,245 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at org.jboss.ejb.client.naming.ejb.EjbNamingContext.createEjbProxy(EjbNamingContext.java:108) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,246 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at org.jboss.ejb.client.naming.ejb.EjbNamingContext.lookup(EjbNamingContext.java:96) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,246 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at org.jboss.ejb.client.naming.ejb.EjbNamingContext.lookup(EjbNamingContext.java:76) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,246 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at org.jboss.as.naming.InitialContext.lookup(InitialContext.java:100) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,246 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at org.jboss.as.naming.NamingContext.lookup(NamingContext.java:213) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,246 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at org.apache.aries.jndi.DelegateContext.lookup(DelegateContext.java:161) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,246 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at steffen.experimental.client.jmx.service.LookupImpl.internal_InitialContextService(LookupImpl.java:63) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,247 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at steffen.experimental.client.jmx.service.TriggerLookup.doAddition_InitialContextService(TriggerLookup.java:85) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,247 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at steffen.experimental.indirect.jmx.ServiceCallerWrapper.doAddition_InitialContextService(ServiceCallerWrapper.java:30) [Server:server-one] 15:46:32,247 ERROR [stderr] (RMI TCP Connection(4)-10.0.103.110) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) Where "twice-removed" is [A] and the class TriggerLookup does reside in [B]. (We have aries.jndi running in our jboss, but the behavior described here occurs also without aries.jndi -- in fact we had hoped that would solve our problems) It is important to note, that the same code in [B] works alright, when the initiating JMX Bean resides in [B] instead of [A], because in this case the TCCL is bundle classloader of bundle [B], whereas in the other case it is the bundle classloader of [A] which of course has not knowledge of the interface class. Furthermore it is important to note that this behavior occurs even though the flow of control from [A] to [B] is done using: *private*TriggerLookupMBean getService(){ ServiceReference sRef = TwiceRemovedActivator./getBundleContext/().getServiceReference(TriggerLookupMBean.*class*.getName()); *if*( sRef != *null*){ *return*(TriggerLookupMBean) TwiceRemovedActivator./getBundleContext/().getService(sRef); } *else*{ *throw**new*IllegalStateException("Service TriggerLookupMBean was not found!"); } } *public*String doAddition_InitialContextService() { *return*getService().doAddition_InitialContextService(); } So that the OSGi framework would have a chance to change the TCCL using an interceptor hooked into the service which is returned by getService. But from what I see simply an instance of the implementation class from bundle [B] is returned. Am I doing something wrong here? Having aries.jndi installed, I can do a successful JNDI lookup for an OSGi Service regardless of the Bundle initiating the flow of control, while the same lookup, when done with a "ejb:" prefix fails. This works: AnOSGiService otherSvc = *null*; ServiceReference sRef = Activator./getBundleContext/() .getServiceReference(JNDIContextManager.*class*.getName()); *if*(sRef != *null*) { JNDIContextManager contextMgr = (JNDIContextManager) Activator./getBundleContext/().getService(sRef); *try* { Properties props = *new*Properties(); props.put("osgi.service.jndi.bundleContext", Activator./getBundleContext/()); Context ctx = contextMgr.newInitialContext(props); System./out/.println("doing JNDI lookup"); otherSvc = (AnOSGiService) ctx.lookup("osgi:service/"+ AnOSGiService.*class*.getName()); System./out/.println("lookup succeeded, calling service"); *return*"result:"+ otherSvc.foo(); } This fails: RemoteCalculator _calc_ = *null*; ServiceReference sRef = Activator./getBundleContext/() .getServiceReference(JNDIContextManager.*class*.getName()); *if*(sRef != *null*) { JNDIContextManager contextMgr = (JNDIContextManager) Activator./getBundleContext/().getService(sRef); *try* { Properties props = *new*Properties(); props.put("osgi.service.jndi.bundleContext", Activator./getBundleContext/()); props.put(Context./URL_PKG_PREFIXES/, "org.jboss.ejb.client.naming"); Context ctx = contextMgr.newInitialContext(props); System./out/.println("doing lookup"); calc = (RemoteCalculator)ctx.lookup("ejb:application-ear-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/ejb-definition-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT//CalculatorBean!steffen.experimental.remote.ejb.RemoteCalculator"); System./out/.println("lookup succeeded, calling remote bean"); *return*"result:"+ calc.add(1, 1); } As I mentioned before when called from a JMX-Bean in the same bundle both work! What am I missing? Our current workaround is an aspect that changes the TCCL in exported public methods if required -- but I believe this should not be necessary. Thanks for your patience reading this!
