HotSwapAgent plugin - plugin class not found - jvm

I have been developing custom plugin for HotSwapAgent, but encountered weird issue with classloader missing plugin class.
This is the exception thrown by

This is my hotswap-agent.properties file
pluginPackages=mycompany.infrastructure.hotswap.agent
autoHotswap=false
LOGGER=info
It seems that hotswap-agent.jar agent is properly loaded, fetches hotswap-agent.properties, but fails to load the plugin class.
I am suspecting that there is a problem with classloader hierarchy, because agent tries to load plugin class managed from WLS classloader. I am not sure what to do with that. Any ideas?
I am using WLS appserver.

It seems that plugins have to be embeded within hotswap-plugin.jar

Geoserver 2.14+ fails on Glassfish4+ - Anyone succeeded with this?

During hardware migration, thought it sensible to upgrade Geoserver from 2.13.0 to 2.14.2 on Glassfish 4.0 hoping to cure flakiness.
JVM is configured to use a non-standard data directory using JVM parameter:
-DGEOSERVER_DATA_DIR=/geoserver
Using the .war downloaded from Geoserver.org, deployment fails
2.15.x exhibits the same failure
2.13.0 deploys and runs, albeit with some flakiness (similar stack track shown on the home-page of geoserver once logged in)
The issue appears platform independent, environments used:
Windows 10 X64 running Oracle Java 1.8.0_161 on Glassfish 4 OR Glassfish 5 (including fresh out-of box installs of Glassfish)
CentOS 7 running OpenJDK 1.8.0_222 on Glassfish 4
The WAR did deploy on a localhost (W10) install of TomCat, albeit without the custom data directory set
If latest GeoServer builds could be made to work on Glassfish 4, this would save considerable time and expense
Any suggestions appreciated

The reason why you are seeing this is because the application you are trying to deploy packages a different Google Guava version than the one that Glassfish ships with. Unfortunately Glassfish favours its own packaged version which does not have the method com.google.common.base.Preconditions.checkNotNull(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/String;Ljava/lang/Object;)Ljava/lang/Object;).
There exist some (more or less involved) workarounds.
https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/issues/20850
Since you seem to have a WAR archive, this comment https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/glassfish/issues/20850#issuecomment-422010251 suggests that it might be enough to disable the classloader delegation in the glassfish-web.xml. Maybe you are lucky and this is indeed helping with your WAR file.
Otherwise you'll have to switch to Payara which seems to have this bug fixed since some time.

there's similar problems found on google, but mine is different from them
i'm using jdk 7
ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Simply deleting:
~/Library/Java/Extensions
(which contains the offending JAI jar) does the job on a Mac.
Relevant issues:
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-137147
http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-139178
A similar problem on OSX seems to have a root cause of the commonly used JAI extension jar files being somewhat mis-configured with a null vendorName. If you need the JAI extensions for some reason (because, for example, your local GeoServer upgrade re-installs them in ~/Library/Java/Extensions) then a work-around is to create a ~/Library/Preferences/IdeaIC14/idea.vmoptions file that contains ONLY:
-Djava.ext.dirs=/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk/Contents/Home/lib/ext
That seems to override OSX Java 6's default behavior of checking the user's ~/Library/Java/Extensions directory in addition to the system's extensions on application start up.
If you are using some other JRE version/operating system then adjusting those paths or making sure that the Java extension directory that the application that needs JAI is different from the one that IntelliJ uses may help. At worst you might install two JDK/JRE's and give each application a different JAVA_HOME value.

I am not sure what needs to be done. The Spring libraries the war file uses is version 2.5.5 and is bundled within the war 0 within the WEB-INF/lib directory.
Any help in resolving my problem, would be much appreciated. Thanks.
I was able to solve this issue. Would like to share with others, in case they run into the same issue. The war file we were using had Spring libraries and was included within the war file.
The problem was with the versions of the spring.jar and spring-context.jar. The former was 2.0.3 but the latter was version 2.5.5. I downgraded the spring-context.jar to 2.0.3 and it did the trick.
Not sure, why there was no problem in Jboss 4.3. Anyway, I don't have the problem now.
I would like to add that this problem could persist - after clearing out the dependencies (using exclusions), there could still be a wrong version in the Eclipse classpath.
You can figure this out running f.ex. a test with two methods:
in Eclipse
using Maven
mvn clean test -Dtest=com.example.HelloTest
Compare error messages / the stack traces, they might be different, or the Maven test runs fine while in Eclipse the test fails.

Jenkins slave throws "Classloading from system classloader disabled" exception

When running a Maven2 job on a slave instance (Master on AIX 5.3; slave on Windows 2008(R2)), I get the following message (complete stack trace pasted in below): "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Classloading from system classloader disabled". This happens with the first job after the slave instance is started (it's running as a Windows service). After that, I get a "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class hudson.maven.MavenModuleSetBuild" error.
If I create a freestyle job, and include the maven command as a batch command to run on the slave, it works fine. The Maven2 job appears to locate Maven on the slave machine, but it apparently can't find the maven-plugin (probably due to the classloading error).
I've searched and posted a ticket to the jenkins-ci site, but no luck as of yet. Has anyone run into this problem?

I had similar issue. Researched internet but did not get any solution. Finally debugged the jenkins/hudson and resolved this issue.
The root cause of this error is that recent versions of jenkin is shipped with xml parser within jenkins.war file. Looks like if your server already has this jar file, it won't let jenkin application to reload its own version of xml parsers. So to resolve this issue I have removed file xercesImpl-2.9.1.jar from WEB-INF/lib directory of jenkins.war file. After that replaced existing war file and restarted server. And it worked as without any problem.

Hudson build fails with Fatal Error (java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: hudson.util.RemotingDiagnostics$HeapDump )

Hopefully, someone can point out what maybe the issue causing the Fatal Error I receive when doing a Maven build using Hudson.
I just installed an instance of Hudson in Tomcat on a Windows XP box in a test environment. I am a rather novice at Hudson. I am trying to do a simple Maven 'clean' on a small Java project that I know builds fine on another instance of Hudson on another server.
The stack trace from the Hudson console is below:
Thank you

[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Did you happen to copy and paste a job (or entire hudson root) directory from your previous hudson machine to the one you installed? The classnotfound exception is a product of hudson/xstream trying to unmarshall build configuration.
One reason this is happening is because you built the hudson on one machine with a version and then tried to copy and paste the build configuration to your local instance and run hudson with a different version.
My suggestion if thats the case is to synch up your local machine to have the same version of hudson that was previously run on.
I have not upgraded or used any other version of hudson or copied any tasks. I am also getting this error! Checking in Hudson I see the 1.395 version is available. I did however just install the M2 maven release plugin.... Seems its stuffs up 1.394? I didn't change my job to use it yet either yet it fails.
