Hi,
I was trying to deploy a smx3 war file I had to smx4 but it fails on deploy
with ClassCastExceptions.
I have tracked this down to code in ops4j where it tries to create a new
instance of your servlet.
eg. CXFServlet.
class RegisterWebAppVisitorWC implements WebAppVisitor {
....
public void visit( final WebAppServlet webAppServlet ) {
.....
try
{
final Servlet servlet = RegisterWebAppVisitorHS.newInstance(
Servlet.class,
m_bundleClassLoader,
webAppServlet.getServletClass()
);
....
}
This problem is that the geronimo-servlet_2.5_spec jar is within my war file
- its brought in by a dependency on cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty
So to get it to work in smx4 I have to remove my dependency on
cxf-rt-transports-http-jetty.
Its needed for smx3 as you will be deploying to either jetty standalone or
tomcat where as jetty is embedded in smx4.
I will add the above to the migration guide - unless I have missed something
?
cheers, Edell.
