Why am I getting a ClassNotFoundException?

[Georg Schmidl]

I'm trying to use the spring-ldap-code module in my plugin, but I keep getting a ClassNotFoundException for org.springframework.ldap.SizeLimitExceededException.

I also tried to force Confluence to include the package, which will give me "Unable to resolve 1010.0: missing requirement [1010.0] package; (package=org.springframework.ldap)"

<bundle-instructions>
<Import-Package>org.springframework.ldap,*;resolution:=optional</Import-Package>
</bundle-instructions>

The depencency is set to "priovided" because the .jar is in confluence/WEB-INF/lib/spring-ldap-core-1.3.0.RELEASE.jar. If i set the scope to "compile" I get all sorts of weird exceptions.

Am I missing something?

I just did a quick test with a new confluence plugin via atlas SDK with the following maven dependency inclusion

   <dependency>
            <groupId>org.springframework.ldap</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-ldap-core</artifactId>
            <version>1.3.0.RELEASE</version>
   </dependency>

And it worked fine.

I tested it by throwing the exception in the ExampleMacro and I got an exception, not a classnotfound

The above dependency will bundle the spring libs into your plugin but I'm guessing that is ok because these mustn't be exposed via OSGi anyway

Yes, this will work for SizeLimitExceededException, but now I'm getting:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.springframework.ldap.core.support.LdapContextSource

and for some weird reason:

cannot find symbol : method join(java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String>,java.lang.String) for class org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils
