ActiveObjects: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException

[Kinto Soft]

Hi,

I got an active object reference by using:

ao = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(ActiveObjects.class);

but when I try to ise it:

ao.find(<Some class>);

a java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException is thrown.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Pablo.

ActiveObjects can only be initialized using constructor injection.

The problem is that the object receiving the injected ActiveObject is a spring bean, so all its initialization parameters must be declared in the spring context (META-INF/spring/context.xml) and I am unable to configure ActiveObjects with Spring. Any suggestion?

Hi Jobin, I've also read this interesting article from you:

http://www.j-tricks.com/1/post/2012/07/active-objects-injection.html

But I still face the same problem: If I use the JTricksManagerImpl to get a valid reference to the ActiveObject instance, that should also be declared in the spring context:

public class X{

 private ActiveObject ao;

 public X(JTricksManager trick){

	ao = trick.getActiveObjects();

  }

}

In the spring context...

<beans:bean id="foo" class="X">
    <beans:constructor-arg index="1" ref="trick" />	
</beans:bean>

And the trick reference should also be included in the context:

<beans:bean id="trick" class="com.jtricks.manager.JTricksManagerImpl">
   <beans:constructor-arg index="1" ref="ActiveObject?????" />	
</beans:bean>

Pablo.

I've guess I did not get the point from your article:

if (this.jTricksManager == null)
this.jTricksManager = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(JTricksManager.class);

It looks like I do not need to inject the JtricksManager object.

I'll try your solution!

FYI,

ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(JTricksManager.class);

it always returns NULL.

Ok. Thank you! mainly because this great article:

http://www.j-tricks.com/1/post/2012/07/active-objects-injection.html

Finally, it worked for me.

if (this.jTricksManager == null)
this.jTricksManager = ComponentAccessor.getOSGiComponentInstanceOfType(JTricksManager.class);

it was returning always null becuase it must be called after the spring context is fully initialized, so the problem was in calling it from inside a bean constructor.

Now, I let the bean fully initialize and get the active object reference just before it is going to be used.

Thanks,

Pablo
