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 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
