[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Resolved: (JGRP-363) GossipRouter classpath error message is misleading
[ http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-363?page=all ]
Bela Ban resolved JGRP-363.
---------------------------
Resolution: Won't Fix
In 2.5, concurrent.jar is not needed anymore.
I will not fix this in 2.4, unless this is absolutely necessary. The workaround - as you
said - is know, so no high priority in either case
GossipRouter classpath error message is misleading
--------------------------------------------------
Key: JGRP-363
URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JGRP-363
Project: JGroups
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 2.4
Reporter: Jerry Gauthier
Assigned To: Bela Ban
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.5
If you start the GossipRouter without concurrent.jar on the classpath, a
NoClassDefFoundError exception will occur. However this information is hidden by
GossipRouter error handing and the user is presented with the cryptic message:
"failed reading the magic number mapping file."
I think there are severl ways to improve this situation.
1) Update the GossipRouter example in the JGroups documentation to show what jars need
to be on the classpath.
2) Modify the GossipRouter or ClassConfigurator to reveal the underlying problem.
Note that this error occurs when you start the GossipRouter per the doc without adding
concurrent.jar to the classpath.
