Re: [xwiki-devs] Problems deploying custom Authentication

Hi Thomas, thanks for the reply. I have two plugins in the jarfile in question. I double-checked the problem by setting up on scratch on a new machine. Everything looks fine, one plugin from the same jar file is found and works as it should. The authentication plugin is not found: - Initializing AuthService... - Failed to initialize AuthService com.kontrast.vodafone.portal.xwiki.PortalAuthenticationPlugin using Reflection, trying default implementations using 'new'. java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.kontrast.vodafone.portal.xwiki.PortalAuthenticationPlugin at org .apache .catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java: 1360) at org .apache .catalina.loader.WebappClassLoader.loadClass(WebappClassLoader.java: 1206) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:374) at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method) at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164) at com.xpn.xwiki.XWiki.getAuthService(XWiki.java:4630) I'm a bit confounded now. Any more ideas? Could it be some problem with classpath ordering? Cheers, J.L.Simon On 10.12.2008, at 12:38, Thomas Mortagne wrote: > Hi, > > All seems ok to me.
