Re: How a gbean in one plugin reference to the gbeans in other plugin?

[David Jencks]

I don't see anything wrong yet :-)

On the other hand it is rather confusing trying to read these files  
after they've been reformatted via email and with all the commented  
out stuff.

Can you take out

- commented out stuff
- properties defining deployers you don't use
- the dependencies in the plan (they should be inserted by the build  
process)  (If you are showing the processed plan, fine, but tell us  
so :-)

Also, which jar has the classes needed for the config plugin?

thanks

Hi, geronimo experts

I am learning geronimo, and developed 2 plugins as experiement. I  
wrote 2
gbean in 2 plugins:

LoggingGbean in logging plugin with name as eyelight/loggingService,  
the
plugin was build and deployed successful.

ConfigurationGbean in config plugin with name as
eyelight/configurationService, and this gbean has reference to
eyelight/loggingService.  I added logging plugin car as dependency  
in this
config plugin pom.xml, otherwise the build failed with error : or  
matches to
reference name eyelight/loggingService.

when I deployed it to geronimo after build,  geronimo report error ,  
the
configurtionGbean  can not find its owen classes ( all libs have  
been add to
depenecies).  I suspect when I add logging plugin car as depency in
configiration plugin, the class loading of configuration plugin was  
changed
in some way, it just load class from logging plugin class  
dependency.  So I
add configrationGbean's libs to logging plugin depencies, the
configurationGbean can start and initiaed successfully.

but I think this is not normal. One plugin need to include lib jars  
belong
other plugins just becase those plugin reference it.

Maybe I made some mistakes on plugin plan, pom.xml writing, I am so  
new to
geronimo development. Any advice is appriciated here.
