But the RAR being used contains the ActivationSpec that cannot be
found.... I promise. I'll try emailing you directly, David, with the
JAR. :)
aren't mailing lists fun :-)
Anyway, your rar is not constructed properly. You are supposed to
have a META-INF/ra.xml file and then any number of jar files inside
with the classes. Classes packed "loose" in the rar are ignored.
Again, I can't explain the behavior of other app servers :-)
I don't know if you are building this rar but if you are you might
try using maven and the rar plugin which makes it pretty easy to get
the correct structure. The geronimo build has an example of
repackaging a rar in the geronimo-activemq-ra module but in that case
we didn't have to pack the classes into a jar but just leave a lot of
stuff out. Still it might be a useful reference.
Hope this helps

To: [email protected]
It's nice to hear something good about that since I hated writing it
and haven't been maintaining it very well :-) Maybe now I'll find
some more motivation :-)
Please, write more. :) It's too often that when there's an error, an
application server just knocks you back. It's very nice to see
something make an attempt of seeing if there's anything it can do to
move you along.
Am I missing something else in the geronimo-ra.xml file? It
seems to
know about the correct ActivationSpec class. Just not that it needs
to use the RAR file being deployed?
I'd guess that you don't have the dependencies set up as well as you
think :-)
Can you verify which jar this activation spec is actually in and show
the structure of the rar and the environment section of the plan?
I'll attach the RAR and deployment files. I'm certain that the
ActivationSpec is contained within the RAR file. The plan file is
<connector xmlns="http://geronimo.apache.org/xml/ns/j2ee/
connector-1.2">

Do I have to make it dependent on itself? The only dependency I have
included in the plan is an external jar file on which the Adapter
depends in order to communicate with the back end. But it doesn't
contain any JCA-implementations.
Thanks again,
Ed
