Unable to export more than one Service through RMI

[besson]

When i deploy a bundle which exports two services through RMI on bundle activation the following exception is raised:

Caused by: java.rmi.UnmarshalException: Error unmarshaling return; nested exception is:
    java.io.WriteAbortedException: writing aborted; java.io.NotSerializableException: com.springsource.kernel.userregion.internal.equinox.KernelBundleClassLoader
    at sun.rmi.transport.StreamRemoteCall.executeCall(StreamRemoteCall.java:227)
    at sun.rmi.server.UnicastRef.invoke(UnicastRef.java:359)
    at sun.rmi.registry.RegistryImpl_Stub.rebind(Unknown Source)
    at org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiServiceExporter.prepare(RmiServiceExporter.java:286)

I simply can't understand why a classloader has to be exported...

The failure happens while rebinding the second service in the rmi registry:

RmiServiceExporter.prepare() {
...
// Bind RMI object to registry.
		try {
			if (this.replaceExistingBinding) {
				this.registry.rebind(this.serviceName, this.exportedObject);
			}
			...
		}
...
}

Beside, even why does anything be serialized at that moment?

When i deploy the bundle exporting one or the other but only one at the same time it does work!

BTW, the same configuration (with two exported services) worked on dm Server 1.0.2.RELEASE!

spring-context file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

    		<property name="service" ref="service1" />
    		<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.not.exists.service.IService" />
    	</bean>
    
	<bean id="service1" class="com.not.exists.server.service.ServiceImpl" />
	
	<bean class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiServiceExporter">

    		<property name="service" ref="service2" />
    		<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.not.exists.service.IService" />
    	</bean>
    
	<bean id="service2" class="com.not.exists.server.service.Service2" />
</beans>

Thanks for raising this as DMS-2491.

We are also hit with the same issue.

Is there any workaround for this untill its fixed ?

The solution is to additionally add "org.springframework.remoting.support" to the list of imported packages in the bundle manifest which exports the services.

For more details consider DMS-2491.
