Ryan Asleson - 24/Sep/07 11:06 PM Zip file containing error stack trace and log output with JPOX.Plugin set to DEBUG.

Erik Bengtson - 26/Sep/07 10:27 PM supports jar, rar, war and zip URL protocols (used to find manifest.mf matching plugin.xml files) supported format are: jar:<path>!<file> zip:<path>!<file> rar:<rar-path>!<jar-path>!<file> war:<rar-path>!<jar-path>!<file> file:<file>

Ryan Asleson - 26/Sep/07 11:03 PM Glad to see that it is fixed. Thank you!!! Now a question: Do I need to provide manifest.mf file if I have a plugin.xml file defining a plugin? A few weeks ago Andy (I think) made a change so that a manifest.mf file was not necessary. Is that true? If not, what exactly should the manifest.mf file look like?

Erik Bengtson - 26/Sep/07 11:45 PM manifest.mf is mandatory. example here: http://www.jpox.org/docs/1_2/extensions/plugins.html if you use eclipse IDE for development, everything is created automatically, see: http://www.jpox.org/docs/1_2/tutorials/user_types_extension.html

Ryan Asleson - 27/Sep/07 01:29 PM I downloaded the September 27 nightly build and tried again. It errors out, albeit this time with a different error, something about a malformed URL. I will attach the error stack trace and the output from JPOX.Plugin being set to DEBUG. For the record, in case it helps any, I have a plugin.xml file located in in the web app's WEB-INF/classes directory. There is also a MANIFEST.MF file located in WEB-INF/classes/META-INF. The plugin class specified in the plugin.xml file is located in WEB-INF/classes, in the correct package.

Ryan Asleson - 27/Sep/07 01:30 PM Zip file containing the logging output of JPOX.Plugin set to DEBUG and the error stack trace.

Ryan Asleson - 28/Sep/07 05:08 PM OK, I downloaded the September 28th snapshot and it now appears to work. Thank you!!

Andy Jefferson - 28/Sep/07 06:54 PM Erik, see the post from Apache JDO mailing list, below. Think its related to your fix ... doesnt allow for spaces in the path ? After downloading new jpox jars, I started getting the following error, which I successfully worked around by moving my maven repository to a location without spaces in the pathname: enhance.prepare:     [echo] jpox.enhancer.jarfile is C:\Documents and Settings\michelle/.maven/repository\jpox\jars\jpox-enhancer-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar     [echo] jpox.javafive.jarfile is C:\Documents and Settings\michelle/.maven/repository\jpox\jars\jpox-java5-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar     [echo] jdori.enhancer.classpath is     [echo] enhance.classpath is     [java] Exception in thread "main" Error reading manifest file     [java] org.jpox.exceptions.JPOXException: Error reading manifest file     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.NonManagedPluginRegistry.registerBundle(NonManagedPluginRegistry.java:327)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.NonManagedPluginRegistry.registerExtensions(NonManagedPluginRegistry.java:212)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.NonManagedPluginRegistry.registerExtensionPoints(NonManagedPluginRegistry.java:145)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.PluginManager.registerExtensionPoints(PluginManager.java:83)     [java] at org.jpox.OMFContext.<init>(OMFContext.java:134)     [java] at org.jpox.enhancer.JPOXEnhancer.<init>(JPOXEnhancer.java:124)     [java] at org.jpox.enhancer.JPOXEnhancer.main(JPOXEnhancer.java:456)     [java] Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\michelle\.maven\repository\jpox\jars\jpox-java5-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar (The system cannot find the path specified)     [java] at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)     [java] at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:114)     [java] at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:133)     [java] at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:97)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.NonManagedPluginRegistry.registerBundle(NonManagedPluginRegistry.java:299)     [java] ... 6 more     [java] Nested Throwables StackTrace:     [java] java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\michelle\.maven\repository\jpox\jars\jpox-java5-1.2-SNAPSHOT.jar (The system cannot find  the path specified)     [java] at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method)     [java] at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(ZipFile.java:114)     [java] at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:133)     [java] at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(JarFile.java:97)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.NonManagedPluginRegistry.registerBundle(NonManagedPluginRegistry.java:299)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.NonManagedPluginRegistry.registerExtensions(NonManagedPluginRegistry.java:212)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.NonManagedPluginRegistry.registerExtensionPoints(NonManagedPluginRegistry.java:145)     [java] at org.jpox.plugin.PluginManager.registerExtensionPoints(PluginManager.java:83)     [java] at org.jpox.OMFContext.<init>(OMFContext.java:134)     [java] at org.jpox.enhancer.JPOXEnhancer.<init>(JPOXEnhancer.java:124)     [java] at org.jpox.enhancer.JPOXEnhancer.main(JPOXEnhancer.java:456)
