Re:Deploy plug-in failed on vCenter 6.7 Update 2 H...

wiggin15 · ‎07-02-2019

Hi. Our plugin stopped working in vCenter 6.7 Update 2 on the HTML 5 client only (the Flex client still works fine). When deploying the plug-in and logging in to the HTML 5 client, I am getting an error in the task pane that says "Deploy plug-in: Cannot complete the operation. See the event logs for details". I am looking at the logs at c:\ProgramData\VMware\vCenterServer\logs\vsphere-ui\logs\vsphere_client_virgo.log and see the following relevant lines:

I can see that it says: "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.infinidat.proxyServlet.ProxyServlet cannot be found by com.infinidat.powertools.develop.arnons.mbp_1.0.0" but the class file is there.

Our MANIFEST.MF file contains the property: "Bundle-ClassPath: .,WEB-INF/classes" and under "WEB-INF/classes/com/infinidat/proxyServlet" we have the file ProxyServlet.class that defines com.infinidat.proxyServlet.ProxyServlet (we are using class files and not jar files on purpose). This works in both older versions of vCenter, including 6.7 and 6.7 U2, and it also works in vCenter 6.7 U 2 in the Flex client, but something changed with the HTML 5 client and it is now broken. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

It seems that the formatting of the logs in my original message isn't good. I am attaching the relevant part of the log file.

Plam_Dimitrov · ‎07-03-2019

Hello,

We are looking into this.

Could you please:

1) Send us the whole contents of the vsphere-ui logs folder

2) If possible, PM me the plugin zip so we can try to run it locally

Regards,

Plam

wiggin15 · ‎07-03-2019

Hi. Thanks for your help! I'm attaching the full vSphere UI logs directory (please note that I tried to do some testing to try to make it work, so please take a look at the failures on July 2). I will send the plugin zip file via PM. Thanks again.

Plam_Dimitrov · ‎07-04-2019

Hello,

Unfortunately, the logs do not reveal too much - you plugin's ProxyServlet should be on the bundle's classpath and thus discoverable. We can't really reproduce with our own plugins though (things are working fine in the same scenario)... so it might be specific to your war. I still haven't received a PM - would you please double check if you sent me the plugin zip, as it will help us a lot in figure out what's going on.
Regards,

Plam

wiggin15 · ‎07-04-2019

Hi. I can't seem to be able to send a PM from this platform (I'm getting a Javascript error...) or attach a file to the PM.

Can you please let me know if there is another option to send our plugin's zip file? Thanks.

Plam_Dimitrov · ‎07-04-2019

Hello,

Please contact plugin@vmware.com. Then we'll get back to you on how to transfer the file.

Thanks,

Plam

Hello,

It seems like a broken war file. We checked out the zipping info of the war and it seems that an entry for "WEB-INF/classes" is missing from the zip metadata, thus Java fails to find the ProxyServlet class which is located inside the "WEB-INF/classes" folder of the zip.

We were literally able to fix the plugin by just getting the contents of the zip and zipping them in a new war file.

How did you produce this war? Also, can you please try re-zipping the contents with some stardard OS utility and see if it fixes the problem?

Regards,

Plam

wiggin15 · ‎07-09-2019

Thank you very much! This indeed seems to be the problem. I am using Python's "zipfile" module to dynamically create the war file (its contents are dynamic), and I didn't know I needed to add entries for the directories (it was never an issue). Adding them now makes the plugin deploy correctly.

Unfortunately, I am now facing a different issue where the content, in the tab we add to the client, fails to load and instead shows a Java NullPointerException stack trace. Again, the content shows up correctly in the FLEX client and in older versions of vSphere, so this must be yet another change that breaks our compatibility. Should I create a new post for this problem? Can you try to reproduce this problem with the plugin that we sent?

Thank you very much for looking into this. I appreciate the help from the VMware team.

Plam_Dimitrov · ‎07-10-2019

Hi Arnon,

The reason for this is that your servlet is not really fulfilling the Servlet interface contract - in particular, the getServletConfig() method is the problematic one. As per the Servlet interface, getServletConfig() "returns a {@link ServletConfig} object, which contains initialization and startup parameters for this servlet. The <code>ServletConfig</code> object returned is the one passed to the <code>init</code> method. <p>Implementations of this interface are responsible for storing the <code>ServletConfig</code> object so that this method can return it. The {@link GenericServlet} class, which implements this interface, already does this.".

What this means is that whenever the servlet container has computed your servlet config and is ready to initialize your servlet (by calling the init() method), it will pass the servlet config and you are responsible for storing it and returning it on subsequent getServletConfig() calls (see the GenericServlet implementation, for example).

Please try this out to verify that this is indeed the case.

Regards,

Plam

wiggin15 · ‎07-10-2019

Hi.

Thank you again very much for your help! I got the plugin to work now after saving the "config" object from "init" and returning it from getServletConfig.
