com.isomorphic.cdi.CDIBeanManger cannot be found

[jpappalardo]

Using:
SmartClient Version: v11.0p_2016-04-27/PowerEdition Deployment (built 2016-04-27)

Trying to use CDI for ServerObject lookupStyle, and am getting an error server side stating that com.isomorphic.cdi.CDIBeanManger cannot be found. It says to make sure isomorphic_cdi.jar is included, but I cannot find any such jar for this version nor the latest build.

[jpappalardo]

Has our support contract lapsed?

[claudiobosticco]

Hello, I've got SmartClient_v110p_2016-04-26_Evaluation and isomorphic_cdi.jar is included in smartclientSDK/WEB-INF/lib

[jpappalardo]

I may have to steal the jar from a smartclient build then

[jpappalardo]

Todays build of SmartGWT actually contains the jar. However I am using the maven tool, and it does not appear that isomorphic_cdi is handled as an artifact by that plugin

[Isomorphic]

Yes, we were about to tell you we solved the build issue - next we're looking at adding the Maven artifact.

[Isomorphic]

The latest builds now have the CDI jar in the Maven POM.

[jpappalardo]

thank you

I am getting the same exception when using maven on smartgwt 6.0-p20161005 power.

Adding

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
            <artifactId>isomorphic-cdi</artifactId>
            <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>

did not work. It did add cdi-api-1.2.jar but no com.isomorphic.cdi.CDIBeanManger inside. And that seems the only .jar being added.

[edulid]

Strange:
changing it to

<!-- Isomorphic CDI -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
            <artifactId>isomorphic-cdi</artifactId>
            <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
        </dependency>

seems to add the correct jar.
But when do I need <type>pom</type>?
For example, if I remove it from

<!-- Add the Network Performance module -->
        <dependency>
            <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
            <artifactId>isomorphic-network</artifactId>
            <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>

Then the dependency is not found. Where are all the dependencies documented? I found isomorphic-cdi by "just trying", but found no documentation on this.

[Isomorphic]

The type element’'s value defaults to jar. When the artifact you want is a jar, you don’t need it (although there’s nothing wrong with using <type>jar</type>). When the artifact you want is a pom, you have to override the default with <type>pom</type>. The pom of the dependency itself will tell you which groupId, artifactId, version, and type you need.

SmartGWT uses jar packaging for its jars, as you'd expect, and pom packaging to provide dependency groups (just a convenient way to bundle a collection of dependencies.)

From a smartgwt-power pom:

<groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
<artifactId>smartgwt-power</artifactId>
<version>6.0-p20160906</version>

Here, there is no <packaging /> element, so it’s going to be a jar. The following are both correct:

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
    <artifactId>smartgwt-power</artifactId>
    <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
    <artifactId>smartgwt-power</artifactId>
    <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
    <type>jar</type>
</dependency>

We provide another convenience artifact, for example, that bundles all of the export dependencies.

<groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
<artifactId>dependencygroup-pdfexport</artifactId>
<version>6.0-p20160906</version>
[B]<packaging>pom</packaging>[/B]

Here, packaging is pom (there is of course no jar named dependencygroup-pdfexport), so you'd declare your dependency on a pom artifact.

<dependency>
    <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
    <artifactId>dependencygroup-pdfexport</artifactId>
    <version>6.0-p20160906</version>
[B]        <type>pom</type>[/B]
</dependency>

The available artifacts are limited to what you’ve installed using the isc-maven-plugin. You can probably get a listing from your repository manager if you're using one, or just by using file system tools on your local repo. e.g.,

ls -l ~/.m2/repository/com/isomorphic/smartgwt/power/

[edulid]

Thanks for your explanation.
Is isomorphic-js-parser also a dependency group? if yes, why doesn't it follow the name convention "dependencygroup-"? If I remove the type="pom", I get an error.

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
            <artifactId>isomorphic-js-parser</artifactId>
            <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>

[Isomorphic]

Again, use jar for artifacts with jar packaging and pom for artifacts with pom packaging. To know how an artifact is packaged, look at its pom. If it isn't specified, as is the case with js-parser, jar is implied.

<groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
<artifactId>isomorphic-js-parser</artifactId>
<version>6.0-p20160906</version>

[edulid]

Ok, thanks, in most of the cases, this seems to be right.
but one case is confusing:

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
            <artifactId>smartgwt-power</artifactId>
            <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
        </dependency>

If I look into smartclient-power.xml, I see:

    <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
    <artifactId>smartclient-power</artifactId>
    <version>6.0-p20160330</version>
    <packaging>pom</packaging>

So this means, packaging is pom.
If I change my pom to:

<dependency>
            <groupId>com.isomorphic.smartgwt.power</groupId>
            <artifactId>smartgwt-power</artifactId>
            <version>${smartgwt.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
        </dependency>

I get a lot of compilation errors:
