Hi,

I had the same problem and fixed it with almost exactly the same code
but in a slightly different way - by writing my own, very slightly
modified, version of BuilderFactory (can't subclass because it is final)
and of XmlModuleDescriptorProvider, and getting them to generate an
OracleResource (which contains the jndi --> jar code) when the prefix is
jndi.

The advantage of this for me is that I don't have to hack the hivemind
sources every time I update.

Irritating, like much Oracle stuff, unfortunately.

Best wishes

John

Subject: New Issue when using Hivemind with OC4J


Last October I posted a message about a problem I had getting hivemind
to work with OC4J 9.0.4.  and a simple code change to fix it.

(http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/jakarta-hivemind-user/200410.m
box/%3Ce78ffed40410231214268da168@mail.gmail.com%3E)

That issue was fixed long ago and everything I did with hivemind has
worked great, however when I fired up Tapestry 4.0 on OC4J last week I
discovered a similar problem that does not have as nice of a solution.

The issue occurs when hivemind tries to create a sub module defined in
a jar file (like Tapestry 4 does.)   To create the sub module,
hivemind creates a resource relative to the parent module to retrieve
the module descriptor.  In the URLResource class this is done by
converting the internal URL object to a string, removing the parent file
name, appending the relative resource path, and creating a new URL
object with the new path.  This is exactly the same kind of issue that
my original post talked about.  Except this time I can't come up with a
"nice" solution.  URL objects don't have a method to create relative
URLs, so converting to a string is the only real option.

The two not nice solutions I can come up with are:

1)	Don't support OC4J 10.1.2 and below.  I have tried hivemind 1.1
with the latest developer preview of OC4J and the jndi urls go away and
everything works great as is. So sub modules will work on OC4J after its
next major release.

2)	Put a hack in URLResource to explicitly check for "jndi" urls in
URLResource.newResource.  The path can transformed to a "jar" url with a
minimal amount of code.  The only real problem with this is that it
muddies the code up a bit with an OC4J specific fix, but it shouldn't
affect any other containers (unless something else also uses a "jndi"
prefix.)

I have actually implemented option 2(along with a couple of unit
tests) just to see if anything else would break on OC4J 10.1.2.=20
Everything appears to work once this chunk of code is added, however I
haven't tried it on anything other than Windows with Sun's JDK.

I'm attaching that patch to this post, but I'm really hoping someone can
come up with a better solution.
