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.

Hi, On 10.12.2008, at 15:13, Sergiu Dumitriu wrote: I don't think that's the problem. True, the class name suggests plugin and maybe I need to fix that. 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.
