Back to the work PC (the server is geronimo-tomcat7-javaee6-3.0.1 with a couple test datasources set up).
The server boots up fine with the vanilla jar. With the patched jar a "Main not found" message is printed in geronimo.out after a minute or so (saw the other jira). In the latter case I see an ERROR message in geronimo.log that is not printed during normal start/stop with the vanilla jar. 2013-08-23 11:52:13,383 DEBUG [j2ee-system] FrameworkEvent ERROR org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in org.apache.geronimo.system.osgi.BootActivator.start() of bundle org.apache.geronimo.framework.j2ee-system. at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:734) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.start(BundleContextImpl.java:683) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleHost.startWorker(BundleHost.java:381) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.resume(AbstractBundle.java:389) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.Framework.resumeBundle(Framework.java:1131) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.resumeBundles(StartLevelManager.java:559) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.resumeBundles(StartLevelManager.java:544) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.incFWSL(StartLevelManager.java:457) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.StartLevelManager.doSetStartLevel(StartLevelManager.java:243) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.EquinoxLauncher.internalStart(EquinoxLauncher.java:271) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.EquinoxLauncher.start(EquinoxLauncher.java:241) at org.eclipse.osgi.launch.Equinox.start(Equinox.java:258) at org.apache.geronimo.main.FrameworkLauncher.launchOSGiFramework(FrameworkLauncher.java:195) at org.apache.geronimo.main.FrameworkLauncher.launch(FrameworkLauncher.java:175) at org.apache.geronimo.main.Bootstrapper.start(Bootstrapper.java:70) at org.apache.geronimo.main.Bootstrapper.execute(Bootstrapper.java:61) at org.apache.geronimo.cli.AbstractCLI.executeMain(AbstractCLI.java:65) at org.apache.geronimo.cli.daemon.DaemonCLI.main(DaemonCLI.java:33) Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/osgi/framework/wiring/BundleWiring at org.apache.geronimo.gbean.runtime.GBeanInstance.<init>(GBeanInstance.java:252) at org.apache.geronimo.kernel.basic.BasicKernel.loadGBean(BasicKernel.java:361) at org.apache.geronimo.kernel.basic.BasicKernel.boot(BasicKernel.java:613) at org.apache.geronimo.system.osgi.BootActivator.start(BootActivator.java:58) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl$1.run(BundleContextImpl.java:711) at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method) at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:702) ... 17 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.osgi.framework.wiring.BundleWiring at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClassInternal(BundleLoader.java:513) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:429) at org.eclipse.osgi.internal.loader.BundleLoader.findClass(BundleLoader.java:417) at org.apache.geronimo.hook.equinox.GeronimoClassLoader.loadClass(GeronimoClassLoader.java:85) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:247) ... 24 more In case this is not the culprit (looks like it), I can post the entire startup log. Also, if you think that it has to do with the specific server installation, I will happily unpack a fresh one, but I thought you might want to take a peek. -- View this message in context: http://apache-geronimo.328035.n3.nabble.com/Classes-generated-on-runtime-javassist-classloader-issue-tp3987097p3987140.html Sent from the Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
