com.arjuna.common.util.logging.LogFactory#loadFactory does not handle properly null argument -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBTM-641 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBTM-641 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: JTS Affects Versions: 4.8.0 Environment: standalone (J2SE) use of jbossts-jta-4.8.0.GA.zip Reporter: Jacques-Olivier Goussard com.arjuna.common.util.logging.LogFactory#setupLogSystem makes calls to com.arjuna.common.util.logging.LogFactory#loadFactory("com.arjuna.common.internal.util.logging.jakarta.JakartaLogFactory", null) when the jakarta log system is selected. When the logger class name argument is nullm the loadfactory will try to instanciate the "com.arjuna.common.internal.util.logging.jakarta.JakartaLogFactory" class with a no-arg constructor and this class does NOT have a no-arg ctor. private static LogFactoryInterface loadFactory(String classname, String arg) throws LogConfigurationException { try { Class factoryClass = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(classname); LogFactoryInterface logFactoryInterface = null; if(arg == null) { // THIS WILL FAIL AS "com.arjuna.common.internal.util.logging.jakarta.JakartaLogFactory" AS NO SUCH CTOR logFactoryInterface = (LogFactoryInterface)factoryClass.newInstance(); } else { Constructor ctor = factoryClass.getConstructor(new Class[] { String.class}); logFactoryInterface = (LogFactoryInterface)ctor.newInstance(arg); } return logFactoryInterface; } catch (Exception e) { throw new LogConfigurationException(e); } } Proposed fix: The fix is to simply always forward the argument to the String arg ctor - with a null arg, the JakartaLogFactory will properly use the default logger from commons.logging private static LogFactoryInterface loadFactory(String classname, String arg) throws LogConfigurationException { try { Class factoryClass = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(classname); LogFactoryInterface logFactoryInterface = null; Constructor ctor = factoryClass.getConstructor(new Class[] { String.class}); logFactoryInterface = (LogFactoryInterface)ctor.newInstance(arg); return logFactoryInterface; } catch (Exception e) { throw new LogConfigurationException(e); } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
