Hi @ShivamVerma380 ,
First, you need to integrate the "libraries" folder in your plugin.zip and not modify directly the plugin cache in "/etc/vmware/vsphere-ui/vc-packages/vsphere-client-serenity/". This directory is used for downloading and unarchiving the plugin deliverables.
Regarding Spring 4.3.9, it is vulnerable to Spring4Shell, and we highly recommend you upgrade to 5.3.XX (LTS).
For vcplugin-ui, you need:
- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codehaus.woodstox/woodstox-core-asl/4.4.1
and
- https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.codehaus.woodstox/stax2-api
Don’t mind the "org.springramework.orm" not being resolved: it is a red herring. It has bundle id of 129, typically plugin bundle ids are in 300 range.
For vcplugin-controller, you need to resolve "org.springframwork.beans" jar first (it is the provider of "org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation").
From the attachments it is not clear why your “org.springframwork.beans” is not resolved (Note: there will be more than one “org.springframwork.beans”, yours will have id in the 300+ range).
It is also not clear why the plugin deployment timed out. It was probably due to the unresolved plugin bundles.
Regarding the type of the plugin, your plugin is a "local" plugin. This means it will be downloaded from the remote location and will be placed inside the VCSA's tomcat server. To be a "remote" plugin, it needs to run on your own server and just provide its views to the vSphere Client. Remote plugins also use a different manifest format, called plugin.json. You can find more information about the remote plugin architecture here. Have in mind that the local plugin architecture is being deprecated and the next major vSphere Release will support only remote plugins.
Finally, you can verify your plugin is successfully installed by finding it in Administration -> Client Plug-Ins and checking its status. Additionally, you can inspect the vsphere_client_virgo.log file and search for your plugin ID to verify there are not errors and the deployment is successful.
Best Regards,
Denis
