Thanks Andrus
I got through that exception but now am getting another one where the
org.apache.cayenne.conn.DriverDataSource is trying to load the jdbc
driver class. I looked in the source and see that it is similar to the
other code we were having issues with so I'm wondering if its the same
thing. Here is the code in question where the exception is happening:
private static Driver loadDriver(String driverClassName) throws
SQLException {
Class<?> driverClass;
try {
driverClass = Class.forName(driverClassName, true, Thread
.currentThread()
.getContextClassLoader());
}
catch (Exception ex) {
throw new SQLException("Can not load JDBC driver named '"
+ driverClassName
+ "': "
+ ex.getMessage());
}
...
And here is the stack from the exception:
INFO: *** Connecting: FAILURE.
java.sql.SQLException: Can not load JDBC driver named
'com.mysql.jdbc.Driver': com/mysql/jdbc/Driver
at
org
.apache.cayenne.conn.DriverDataSource.loadDriver(DriverDataSource.java:
62)
at
org
.apache
.cayenne
.conn.DriverDataSource.setDriverClassName(DriverDataSource.java:256)
As you can see, driverClass is again using getContextClassLoad from
Thread,currentThread(). Not 100% sure that its the issue but it seems
reasonable. Also, I have verified that the mysql jars are in my
classpath. Also, modeler seems to see it fine and is able to access my
database.

It probably is. The ClassLoader settings are likely different.
Anyways the code in question does look suspect. I implemented a bit
more paranoid version of this method (without actually knowing
whether null values are valid here or not). The code is checked in
to trunk, and you may try this cayenne-server.jar that contains the
fix:

Ok, more info. I have been stepping through the code to see what is
actually throwing the NPE and I've come to this code in
DataSourceInfo class:
public PasswordEncoding getPasswordEncoder() {
PasswordEncoding encoder = null;
try {
encoder = (PasswordEncoding) Thread
.currentThread()
.getContextClassLoader()
.loadClass(getPasswordEncoderClass())
.newInstance();
// encoder = (PasswordEncoding)
// Class.forName(getPasswordEncoderClass()).newInstance();
}
...
Now following the code, I notice that the getContextClassLoader
call returns null which seems to be the source of the NPE. Is there
a reason getContextClassLoader would be returning null?
BTW, I'm using SWT if that is pertinent.
