Tip: Loading dynamic plugins locally

One of the questions we've heard on a number of occasions is "why can't I load a dynamic plugin locally?" For a while I assumed this was related to Flash Player security, but I finally got around to looking into this yesterday, and realized that this was due to a bug in our code. So if you sync to the latest in public trunk, then it should be possible to run a player app locally, and have that app load a dynamic plugin locally, provided that the plugin is specified with a "file:" prefix. For example, if you run the AkamaiPluginSample, you can paste the following URL into the "URL" box (assuming that this is the path to the compiled plugin on your system):
file:///C:/Dev/osmf/public/trunk/plugins/SMILPlugin/bin-debug/SMILPlugin.swf
This should make plugin development/debugging a bit easier, as you won't have to post the plugin to a server after every change (or run from localhost).

Great. I think it would be flexible to be able to specify the application domain that the player wants to load the plugin into. Similar to the way you can specify whether or not to use the current security domain. We have a swc-swf model where the player has a small api swc integrated and all the logic is loaded at runtime from the swf. Loading into the same application domain allows us to share typed class instances between the player, swc and swf rather than passing them around as raw objects.

Dynamic loading a plugin

Ok, here's a doozie of a question:
I have a bunch of plugins in a namespace with a similar name to the following:
org.myApp.common.extensions
I can load them just fine using Class.forName within the library I'm writing, but when I reference the library in another project, it won't detect the plugins (the plugin loading code is also within the same library as the extensions.
I also tried building a Jar file to hold the library, but it does the same thing.
I'm using Eclipse as my development environment too.
Any suggestions on how to get it to load the plugin from within the Jar, when the loading code is also in the same jar?

Sorry, I should have clarified. I'm developing plugins for a custom application, not Eclipse.
The common interface was the first thing I sat up, and it works if I use class.forName. But, if I put the plugins are put into a JAR file, I don't know how to get a list of what is contained in the package. And if I don't know what the filenames are at runtime, how will I be able to load the plugins?
I also checked the manifest file created by Eclipse when I created the JAR...it's empty.
Also, the user won't be able to have the ability to install additional plugins. This is because I'm the only one developing the plugins, and I can just distribute a new JAR file if I create a new plugin.
This is something that is easily done on the .NET Framework, but since I had to switch to Java, I have to learn how to do it Sun's way. :-p

Anyone else seen this while loading a plugin: "Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:"

Hello All,
I'm curious if anyone else has seen this error while loading an OSMF plugin dynamically:
"Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2124: Loaded file is an unknown type."
You will only see this with the debug version of the Flash Player. The plugin loads fine, but the RTE appears. I've submitted a bug for this (http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FM-1104) but apparently no one at Adobe can reproduce it while everyone on our team can easily reproduce it at will. Some use Windows, some use Macs.
I've written a very simple player and a very simple plugin, you can simply refresh your browser to try to reproduce the error. You won't see anything on the page, just hit refresh a few times until you see it. You'll need the debug version of the Flash Player to see the RTE. One guy on our team (uses Windows) claims he sees it after he clears his browser cache. I can make it happen on Safari for Mac by simply hitting Cmd-R a few times.
http://mediapm.edgesuite.net/chuck/osmf-test/OSMFPluginErrorTest.html
I also see this on cnn.com. I've attached a screen shot.
Go to cnn.com and watch any video. I get the RTE every time on the first try. We are seeing this repeatedly on OSMF built players that load OSMF plugins dynamically.
Reply if you see the error. This will greatly help in determining that I've not completely lost my mind
In the mean time, I'll be working locally on a work around and hopefully submit that to the OSMF trunk.
Thanks,

How to load a plugin from another plugin?

Hi,
I'm trying to load a plugin, which is not located in the plugin-paths of After Effects from another plugin. It seems to load the aex(dll) and execute the main function fine, but afterwards it crashes immediately and I have no idea why.
This is how my pluginLoader-PlugIn looks like:
1. I created a commandHook to be able to trigger the pluginLoad from the Edit Menu
2. for the actual load of the dll I use the following commands:
          AEGP_SuiteHandler    suites(basic_suite);
        std::string dllName = "C:/PATH/TO/plugin.aex";
        // defining type and order of the arguments of the entry function
        typedef A_Err (*args_type)(SPBasicSuite *pica_basicP, A_long major_versionL, A_long minor_versionL, A_long aegp_plugin_id, AEGP_GlobalRefcon *global_refconP);
        args_type pluginEntryMethod = NULL;
        // loading the dll(aex) and the entry function
        # ifdef _WIN32
        HMODULE hDLL = LoadLibrary(dllName.c_str());
        if (hDLL != NULL)
            pluginEntryMethod = (args_type) GetProcAddress(hDLL, "EntryPointFunc");
        else
            return err;
        # else
        void *pLib = ::dlopen(szMyLib, RTLD_LAZY);
        if (pLib != NULL) {
            pluginEntryMethod = (args_type)::dlsym(pLib, "EntryPointFunc");
        else
            return err;
        # endif
        if (pluginEntryMethod != NULL)
            // hardcoding the plugin version
            A_long mavL = 0L;
            A_long mivL = 1L;
            AEGP_PluginID plId;
            // to get a valid plugin-id I use this command
            suites.UtilitySuite3()->AEGP_RegisterWithAEGP(*globalRefcon, "nameOfPlugin", &plId);
            // I create copy of the refcon and the suite
            AEGP_GlobalRefcon newRefcon(*globalRefcon);
            SPBasicSuite newSuite(*basic_suite);
            pluginEntryMethod(&newSuite, mavL, mivL, plId, &newRefcon);
        # ifdef _WIN32
            FreeLibrary(hDLL);
        # else
            dlclose(pLib);
        # endif
If I run After Effects with the debugger, the EntryFunction of the new plugin runs through without errors. But Then it crashes and stops at random positions: sometimes in the IdleHook of the newly loaded Plugin, sometimes in the MenuHook.
Does anyone have an idea, what I am doing wrong?
btw: when I copy the second plugin in the default Afx-Plugin-Folder it loads fine and seems to work correct.
Thanks for your help!

Okay, unfortunately it had nothing to do with static or dynamic linking of the dependencies.
I was able to boil it down to the following problem but I'm still stuck on how to solve the situation:
The problem has to do with an invalid AEGP_GlobalRefcon of the Plugin I load:
the plugin loader:
// the load of the inner plugin..
AEGP_GlobalRefcon newRefcon; // generating a new refcon
suites.UtilitySuite5()->AEGP_RegisterWithAEGP(newRefcon, pluginName.c_str(), &plId); // gathering a plugin id
pluginEntryMethod(basic_suite, mavL, mivL, plId, &newRefcon) // calling the entry function
the loaded plugin:
A_Err EntryPointFunc(
    struct SPBasicSuite        *pica_basicP,
    A_long                     major_versionL,
    A_long                    minor_versionL,
    AEGP_PluginID            aegp_plugin_id,
    AEGP_GlobalRefcon        *global_refconP)
    *global_refconP = (AEGP_GlobalRefcon) new CustomClass(pica_basicP, aegp_plugin_id); // this is where the refcon gets invalid
    return err;
To gather a valid plugin id, I register the plugin and assign a new AEGP_GlobalRefcon to it, which is for instance at address 0x0001234abcd (plugin-loader line 3)
then I call the entry function(plugin-loader line 4) and the entry function creates a custom class and stores a pointer to its instance in the global_refconP pointer, which changes the address from 0x0001234abcd to 0x0a010b020c3d4.
The crash happens later, when a hook (eg IdleHook) is called, which tries to reinterpret the refconPV-pointer of the plugin (address 0x0001234abcd) to a CustomClass-instance, because the actual instance is stored at 0x0a010b020c3d4.
I reckon, that I can fix this if I either can change the global refcon of the plugin after the enty function has run or if I can get a valid plugin id before calling the entry function and doing the registration with the new refcon I got returned by the entry function of the loaded plugin.
Does anyone know how to achieve one of these two goals?

Loading a Plugin before MediaFactoryItem is added

Hello,
When I try to load my plugin before a MediaFactoryItem is added to the MediaFactory, it won't work (the plugin doesn't load). However, when load a plugin after there is at least one item in the MediaFactory, the plugin works fine. Is this an intentional feature?

Looks like this actually wasn't the issue. I've discovered that my plugin will always fail if I'm trying to load it dynamically, for example:
var resource:URLResource = new URLResource("http://localhost/streamlighter/client_tests/players/as3-v1.4.0/OSMFPlayer/OSMFPlugin.swf");
factory.loadPlugin(resource);
Always results in a plugin load error event being fired.
I've tested the exact same thing as a static plugin instead and it always works perfectly:
var resource:PluginInfoResource = new PluginInfoResource(new OSMFPlugin().pluginInfo);
factory.loadPlugin(resource);

I have a similar problem. I am writing a program to read the class names from database and instantiate several classes which extends from ServiceThread (an abstract class extending from Thread).
rs = pStmt.executeQuery();
while(rs.next()) {
String threadclassname = rs.getString("classname").trim();
try{
ServiceThread threadinstance = (ServiceThread)Class.forName(threadclassname).newInstance();
}catch ...
So far, only the first class is ever instantiated and runs fine. But subsequent classes do not even get pass the "... ... Class.forName(...).newInstance();" line.
Funny thing is that there are also no exceptions. The JVM just seem to hang there.

Examples in dbxml run quite well when I command "php -c /etc/php.ini ..."
However, apache 2.0 error_log says:
PHP Warning: Unknown(): Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php4/dbxml.so' - /usr/lib/php4/dbxml.so: undefined symbol: db_env_ce_get in Unknown on line 0
If any dbxml objects are referenced in PHP code, httpd segfaults. I have read all the resources on web I could get my hands onto, but still haven't figured out what's wrong. Can you help me?

Hi,
thanks to you both for your help. I tried adding the following to my apachectl script:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:/usr/local/dbxml-2.3.10/install/lib:/usr/lib:/usr/local/lib
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
...but it didn't really help. I still don't get this. For your information:
My system is Linux 2.6.9-023stab044.11-enterprise running i686, dbxml is 2.3.10, PHP 4.3.10 in Apache 2.0 Handler.

LoadFromXML(XMLstream) from a dynamic plugin

I am trying to get an xml file to load from a .jar file. The complication is the following code is run inside a plugin that is called from the source program. I have tried this code in a stand alone program and it seems to work fine, however when I port it back over to the plugin source It doesn't work. I may be off but I think the issue has something to do with being called as a plugin and how that works with the .getResourceAsStream() method call.
Note: IJ.error just pulls up an error box window with some data. I am using NB 6.5 and haven't figured out how to get stops to work in dynamic plugins so I use the error messages as a crutch.
try{
InputStream XMLstream = getClass().getResourceAsStream("config/ABConfig.xml");
if (XMLstream == null) {
IJ.error("File not found");
//not sure after this point------------------->
properties.loadFromXML(XMLstream);
//XMLstream.close();
//the folloing IJ.errror call doesn't run------------------->
IJ.error("you passed the loadFromXML statement"); //-sh debug
catch (IOException exception){}and my XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<ActionBarConfig>
<button>
    <label>automatic</label>
    <icon>auto.GIF</icon>
    <action></action>
    <arg></arg>

<button>
    <label>manual</label>
    <icon>manu.GIF</icon>
    <action></action>
    <arg></arg>
</button>
</ActionBarConfig>Any help is greatly appreciated.

It seems the error had nothing to do with dynamic plugins and more to do with the syntax requriements for properties.loadfromxml(). I changed my xml document to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE properties SYSTEM "http://java.sun.com/dtd/properties.dtd">
<properties>
<entry key="button"></entry>
<entry key="label">auto</entry>
<entry key="icon">auto.gif</entry>
<entry key="macro"></entry>
<entry key="arg"></entry>
</properties>and it worked beautifully.

Teamspeak3-server: unable to load database plugin library

After applying the latest package version, I get: "unable to load database plugin library "libts3db_mariadb.so".
It used to run perfectly fine before. libts3db_mariadb.so is present at /usr/lib/
I am stuck and don't know what to check next. Please advise.

It seems the same conclusion is discussed on the AUR already; did you read that?

Error when crawling "Unable to load stemmer for locale 1033. Error code 80040111."

In the Sharepoint Search Service I get tose error "MAPI: Logon failed. " in the log and "Unable to load stemmer for locale 1033. Error code 80040111." in ULS.
The error code 80040111 is well a relation with Mapi but what about stemmer???

Hi,
For your issue, check your current language settings and ensure that search supports the current language.
On the SharePoint Server open Registry Editor (Start -> type “Regedit” and hit enter).
Point to : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\OfficeServer\14.0\Search\Setup\ContentIndexCommon\LanguageResources\Default\English
Under the registry key for each of the languages there is a value called StemmerDLLPath and WBDLLPathOverride
Updated the registry entry with NATURA~1.dll to NATURA~2.dll
Point to Start -> Administrative Tools -> Services, right click on SharePoint Server Search 14 and click on Restart.
Performed a Full Crawl and wait for the Full Crawl to complete and try searching again.
For more detailed information, refer to the following blogs:

Unable to load dynamic library oci8.so

Hello All,
When I try to start lampp, I am getting the below error.
PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib/php/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/oci8.so' - libclntsh.so.10.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0
But I have libclntsh.so.11.1 in my system. Why it is searching for libclntsh.so.10.1?

old PHP software that does not know about V11
So just create a softlink as below
ln -s libclntsh.so.11.1 libclntsh.so.10.1

Error editing task sequence: Failed to load dynamic properties for class "SMS_TaskSequence_ApplyWindowsSettingsAction" From XML into WMI

I've started getting an intermittent error editing my Windows 7 OSD task sequence. Sometimes I can open the TS to edit, but when I try to apply changes I get the error. Other times I get the error when trying to open the TS. If I try again
right away, I still get the error, but if I wait a few minutes and try again sometimes it will open the TS.
The error reads:
ConfigMgr Error Object:instance of SMS_Extended Status{Description = "Failed to load dynamic properties for class \"SMS_TaskSequence_ApplyWindowsSettingsAction\" from XML into WMI";Error Code = 2147943746;File = "e:\\qfe\\nts\\sms\\siteserver\\sdk_provider\\smsprov\\ssptspackage.cpp";Line = 3454;Operation = "ExecMethod";ParameterInfo = "SMS_TaskSequencePackage";ProviderName = "WinMgmt";StatusCode = 2147749889;}
Coinciding with this error, I show the following entries in the TaskSequenceProvider.log file:

I exported the task sequence and checked in "object.xml" for the "ApplyWindowsSettingsAction", to see if there was something odd in the xml, but I don't find anything that jumps out as being wrong. Here's the section of XML for
that step. I've removed identifying info, and replaced it with a generic term in bold.

Is there any other log I should check for a clue on this issue? What could be causing this error?

Thanks for sharing that! I tend to save contacting MS support until after I've exhausted other options. I'm always afraid that I'll spend the $500 to open a case and then it turns out to be something simple that I would have found if I had just
kept working on it myself a little longer.
It looks like that link is for an update released in February as KB3023562. I downloaded and installed it. I'll try opening/editing/saving the task sequence a few times today to see if the issue is resolved.
After I had already installed it, I thought to look up that update in configmgr. The update is listed as superseded by 2 other updates. The newest of those is KB3046049, which just installed last night with the other March patches, so it's possible
that I didn't need to install KB3023562 after all.
