Would it be possible to check the XBEAN-22 patch and fix the related XBEAN-19 feature in this release ?
The XBEAN-22 is about enhancing the current class loader in xbean-server with the work the Dain did in Geronimo. This will allow to specify classes to exclude in parent loaders or classes that can not be overriden. A patch is attached to the JIRA. XBEAN-19 is to allow this feature to be used with the extended spring tag <classpath><location>... I have already implemented this feature but i will not be able to ubmit a patch (i can only access my web mail). Note that these features can be delayed until 2.6. In any cases, I'm +1 to fix the existing problems and release 2.5. Cheers, Guillaume Nodet On 7/11/06, James Strachan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
I've just applied 2 trivial bug fixes to the xbean-spring module of XBean. The first is a patch from Guillaume which is a one liner to create the xml parser using a helper method (used by all the other ApplicationContext implementations). http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XBEAN-21 The other is a trivial fix but has a major impact. Version 2.0-rc2 of spring barfs if you pass a null ClassLoader into the NamespaceHandler stuff - however the regression tests for 2.0-rc1 and 2.0-m5 work fine. Basically this means that all projects using xbean-spring (such as ActiveMQ, OpenEJB, XFire, ServiceMix, Jetty etc) will all break if the user upgrades from 2.0-m5 or 2.0-rc1 of spring to 2.0-rc2. I've just added a one liner to use the current threads context class loader if the class loader is null to avoid the exception which seems to work fine. (I added a regression test for 2.0-rc2 by just cut and pasting the regression test for 2.0-rc1 which reproduced the error so I could test the fix worked). Due to the serious nature of this bug (and we've already had a few user mails on ActiveMQ about this already and spring 2.0-rc2 has only been out a short time) I'd like us to get a release of xbean out ASAP to avoid users hittitng this issue. Here's my +1 -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
