Hi,
I'm trying to follow those instructions:
http://ares.opengeo.org/geoserver/master/doc/en/user/community/geofence-server/installing.html
Sadly, when doing so, the webapp is missing classes. For example:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
com.googlecode.genericdao.search.MetadataUtil
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:381)
at
org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppClassLoader.loadClass(WebAppClassLoader.java:366)
I tried to install both current master (2015-09-26) and 2.8.x (2015-09.27)
of geoserver and the matching version of geofence-server-plugin, but they
both have this same problem.
Then, I went to manually add the missing JARs that I copied from the
separate geofence WAR file (dao-1.1.0.jar, search-1.1.0.jar,
spring-orm-3.1.1.RELEASE.jar, dom4j-1.6.1.jar, javassist-3.8.0.GA.jar) and
I hit a wall. Log4j used by geoserver is version 1.2 and I start needing
classes provided by log4j version 2.
Is anybody had success installing this plugin? What I am doing wrong?
The plugin does not have a complete packaging descriptor, so the zip file
does not contain
all the jars it should.
I guess Niels (cc'ed) set the file up (
https://github.com/geoserver/geoserver/commits/master/src/community/release/ext-geofence-server.xml
),
but did not actually try the results 
You should probably add a bug report for this at
https://osgeo-org.atlassian.net/projects/GEOS/summary
Cheers
