Hi all,
being quite new to Geronimo i'm stunned that there seems to be no
common way to extend the classpath for geronimo.
I do have a jar-file which contains some utility classes that my
ejb-app's need and tried to put this jar in the classpath doing the
following:
*) extend the CLASSPATH environment variable --> class not found
exception
*) start the server with -cp switch --> server does not start at all
*) put my jar in <GERONIMO_HOME>/lib, <GERONIMO_HOME>/lib/endorsed,
<GERONIMO_HOME>/lib/extension --> class not found exception
*) added the jar to repository and tried to reference it from the
deployment descriptor (openejb-jar.xml) as follows
/<openejb-jar xmlns="http://www.openejb.org/xml/ns/openejb-
jar" configId="Data-Service">
<import>
<uri>MyJar/MyJar/1.0/jar</uri>
</import>
<enterprise-beans>
<session>
<ejb-name>DataManager</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>DataManager</jndi-name>
<local-jndi-name>DataManagerLocal</local-jndi-name>
</session>
</enterprise-beans>
</openejb-jar>/
This is the way to add your jar, but you need to use the
<dependency>
<uri>MyJar/MyJay/1.0/jar</uri>
</dependency>
element (in geronimo 1.0). The <import> element can only refer to
another configuration, not a plain jar.
In 1.1 we have changed the syntax for this quite a bit so both jars
and configurations (now renamed modules) are referred to with the
<dependency> element. (This is not a complete description of the
syntax differences).
Hope this helps,

Then i get the exception:
/13:17:43,154 ERROR [Hot Deployer] Unable to deploy: Unable to load
first parent of configuration Data-Service
org.apache.geronimo.common.DeploymentException: Unable to load
first parent of configuration Data-Service
....
Caused by: org.apache.geronimo.kernel.config.NoSuchConfigException:
No configuration with id: MyJar/MyJar/1.0/jar
....
/
The Jar file is at the location <GERONIMO_HOME>/repository/MyJar/
jars/MyJar-1.0.jar.
What does one have to do to add classes to the JVM of Geronimo?
Thanks in advance, Joerg Friede
