Getting the Adapter Class Not Found Error in the Java Manipulator

Question

Hi,
I wrote a custom java manipulator for the baseline update and created a jar file for the class. This works fine in the Windows machine. All I have to do is while specifying the CLASSPATH, I entered the ./ib/newManipulator.jar; ./lib/additional_dependency.jar. When I tried to deploy the same code in the Unix environment, it fails saying the Adapter Class not found. The only difference from windows and Unix environment is that in the windows machine, in order to run the base line update, I go to the directory my_project->control->baseline_update.bat but in case of Unix environment I have a separate location where I have a shell script called run-baseline-update.sh located at /apps/bin which invokes the baseline.sh in the directory my_project/control/baseline.sh. I even tried to put the full path of the jar files e.g. /my_project/lib/newManipulator.jar; /my_project/lib/additional_dependency.jar in the class path but still the same issue. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Unix classpath needs ":" as the path separator, not ";". Changing that will make this work.
For reference, later versions of the deployment template make this configurable, so you'd see (in environment.properties):
# PATH_SEP_VARNAME: for platform-independence
PATH_SEP_VARNAME=;
# Forge needs record store libraries as well as Spring to load record store adapter configuration files
FORGE_CLASSPATH=./config/lib/java/spring-delegate-adapter-1.0.1.jar${PATH_SEP_VARNAME}./config/lib/java/spring.jar${PATH_SEP_VARNAME}./config/lib/java/eacToolkit.jar${PATH_SEP_VARNAME}./config/script${PATH_SEP_VARNAME}.
You can then add the following to your <forge /> definition in AppConfig.xml:
<arg>--javaClasspath</arg>
<arg>${FORGE_CLASSPATH}</arg>
Hope this helps.
