GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor spring and glassfish v3 exception

[drfence]

This previously worked in glassfish v2.1:

<bean id="threadPool" class="org.springframework.jca.work.glassfish.GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor">
	<property name="threadPoolName" value="mediaSourceTasks" />
</bean>

However in glassfish v3 I get this exception

Caused by: org.springframework.beans.BeanInstantiationException: Could not instantiate bean class [org.springframework.jca.work.glassfish.GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor]: Constructor threw exception; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not initialize GlassFishWorkManagerTaskExecutor because GlassFish API is not available: java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: com.sun.enterprise.connectors.work.WorkManagerFactory.getWorkManager(java.lang.String)

Which version of Spring are you using?

Checking the API of GlassFish V3 this class isn't present anymore, so there must be another way of obtaining the workmanager. If I'm not mistaken you can use the normal WorkManagerTaskExecutor and supply the JNDI name of the WorkManager so it can be obtained from JNDI.

[drfence]

Spring 2.5.6. Where did you verify the glassfish api?

[Marten Deinum]

a bit of googling led me to the api of glassfish and this isn't present in V3 it is in V2. You could also check the jars and search for that file.

[drfence]

The problem is that this call is missing now in the runtime jar:

WorkManagerFactory.getWorkManager(java.lang.String )

So perhaps they want a proper jndi lookup. The create-thread-pool command doesn't allow me to specify a jndi name for lookup.

No but the the default WorkManagerTaskExecutor does...
