Re: [xwiki-devs] Problems deploying custom Authentication [SOLVED]

But the issue is not related to the name of class surely? Just in case i simply paste the declaration here: public class PortalAuthenticationPlugin extends XWikiAuthServiceImpl { /** * Authenticates the user * @param context * @return authenticated XWiki user * @throws com.xpn.xwiki.XWikiException */ @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") @Override public XWikiUser checkAuth(XWikiContext context) throws XWikiException { ... stuff ... } }

To make sure its not a problem with both my plugins in the same jarfile, I created one project per jarfile. Both compile fine, install fine and i can see them in the deploy conduit in WEB-INF/lib. Both jar files contain the classes. One is found by the class loader, the other is not. > Juergen Lorenz Simon wrote: > >> Hi Thomas, >> >> thanks for the reply.
