[Geoserver-devel] Problem with wkb4j-1.0-RC1.jar

Farber_Saul_EEA · July 25, 2006, 10:55pm

Hey all,

I've successfully built an up-to-date geotools-2.2.x branch (currently RC5). Maven is very cool.

I've also successfully built an up-to-date geoserver trunk.

I then went to deploy my geoserver war file, and got the following exception when deploying it inside Tomcat:

...
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: log4j,openmap,postgis,jts,junitperf,junit,postgresql-Extension-Name
...

I narrowed it down to the fact that the MANIFEST.MF inside the wkb4j jar file that's hosted at both maven.geotools.fr (seems to be the one pulled from gt-trunk) and at http://lists.refractions.net/m2 (seems to be the one pulled from gt-2.2.x) includes the line:

*Extension-List: log4j,openmap,postgis,jts,junitperf,junit,postgresql*

From what I understand from here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/jar/jar.html

and here:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/extensions/versioning.html

this should instead read:

*Extension-List: log4j openmap postgis jts junitperf junit postgresql*

(spaces instead of commas).

However, when I rebuilt the jar with exactly that change to the Extension-List attribute, I got a silent error from Tomcat (even worse).

This copy of wkb4j has been around for a long time (I verified that the same problems were in the MANIFEST.MF file in the version released on sourceforge in 2003), so I can't imagine I'm the first person to run across this.

Anyone else having this problem, or is it confined to linux+tomcat+java 1.5?

But the jar in geoserver works right? So we just need to upload that one to the appropriate repositories?

No, having the jar around seems to make geoserver not deploy correctly (tomcat complains about the wkb4j.jar's MANIFEST.MF file, although figuring out which jar and which file took a bit).

It's getting weirder though. Now when I delete that jar file from the WEB-INF/lib directory completely (therefore removing the problem, right?) tomcat fails silently. Not sure what the heck's going on, but I'm upgrading JVMs, and I'm about to upgrade tomcat.

Chris_Holmes1 · July 26, 2006, 4:04pm

Sorry, I wasn't clear. The jar that's in the 1.3.x geoserver lib/ dir. It's never had problems with deploying, as far as I know. And it's called wkb4j-1.0-RC1-modified.jar. So it's been modified in some way, I think Andrea may have had a fix on it long ago? So if we use that one in the repositories I think things should work?

Hi Saul,

I ran into this problem a while back and the only way I was able to solve it was to repackage the jar with a modified manifest.

I have posted this to the wkb4j mailing list was well. Perhaps it is possible to get a version which does contain this stuff in the MANIFEST.

I'm pretty sure the wkb4j mailing list is dead. At least it was a couple of years ago when we tried to interact with it.

I am not sure about the licencing or IP issues but we could manually modify the jar ourselves, and then post it on our maven repo servers. From what I can tell wkb4j is LGPL.

We ran with the same issue over here as well. We found 3 ways to fix.

Copy wkb4j.jar’ under \j2sdk{version}\jre\lib\ext.
It worked without having to change the manifest. Eclipse, Tomcat worked well for us from this point.
Change the manifest as you suggested
Download the source code and re-compile it.
It is now part of my maven build process. If somebody wants to spend time to make it available on http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/ and create a pom file version dependency, this would be cool.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the input, glad to see someone else has already solved this one :).

I think this is probably the easiest solution, but I dont really like not being able to run geoserver with an out of the box jvm.

2) Change the manifest as you suggested
3) Download the source code and re-compile it.

I guess these two really amount to the same. If no IP issues ivolved then I say we go for it.

Not as it stands on trunk deploying in tomcat with postgis. The dependency is dragged in transivly through geotools. I beleive on 1.3.x the jar has already been modified and hence works.

So yes, we need to modify the jar, and upload to out maven repos?
