cannot find net.sf.acegisecurity.acl.basic.SimpleAclEntryExc

[jmwap]

Hi,

I am in the process of adding acegi to my project. First I added form authentication and hibernate stuff, everything was ok. Now I added acl authorization and I am encoutering an exception at startup:

Exception in thread "main" org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationExce ption: Error creating bean with name 'net.sf.acegisecurity.acl.basic.SimpleAclEntry.REA D' defined in file [C:\projects\emailargs\common\wcvs\..\..\web\wcvs\w ebroot\web-inf\applicationContext-zec-acegi-acl.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:

...

My code looks like this:
String springconfig = "../../web/wcvs/webroot/web-inf/application*.xml";
//test
Object o = Class.forName("net.sf.acegisecurity.acl.basic.Simp leAclEntry");
System.out.println(o);
ApplicationContext context = new FileSystemXmlApplicationContext(springconfig);

Notice that the testing line finds the class net.sf.acegisecurity.acl.basic.SimpleAclEntry (I dont know if that means anything, I am new to spring)

and I have these spring files:
applicationContext-acegi-security.xml
applicationContext-hibernate.xml
applicationContext-resources.xml
applicationContext-service.xml
applicationContext-zec-acegi-acl.xml

any clues?

thanks in advance

Sounds like a classloader issue to me, as in your have a Spring-related JAR or Acegi Security-related JAR somewhere in your classloader aside from the WAR's WEB-INF/lib directory. Perhaps double-check there aren't extra JARs laying around in your container's shared library directories. If that doesn't work, please post applicationContext-zec-acegi-acl.xml so we can take a look.

Hi Ben,

As I realized that no acegi security code is involved in the exception (apart from the not found class), I had repost the question on core-container forum, but got no solution yet....

My code runs as a standalone program, no webapp. I have checked all my jars and only have spring1.2rc1 and acegi security0.8.1 jars on the classpath. Running it on java1.5

I attach applicationContext-acegi-acl.xml (I had changed the name to applicationContext-zec-acegi-acl.xml to check wether it had something to do with alphabetical order of the config files).

thanks,
javi

I think it's a CR/LF issue.

See http://forum.springframework.org/viewtopic.php?t=4071

Try:

   <bean id="net.sf.acegisecurity.acl.basic.SimpleAclEntry.ADMINISTRATION" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.FieldRetrievingFactoryBean">
      <property name="staticField"><value>net.sf.acegisecurity.acl.basic.SimpleAclEntry.ADMINISTRATION</value></property>
   </bean>

If this works, please log a JIRA bug report for FieldRetrievingFactoryBean's handling of whitespace.

Hi Ben,

Yes, that is the case, I have found it and reported in the other thread I opened on the Core container forum, I forgot to mention it here. I filled the bug.

thanks,
javi
