Metadata aggregator: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException.Yeah, but still?

[Mehdi Hached]

Hi,

I am testing the metadata aggregator command line. I tried the eduGAIN « packaged » version and the basic version (both aggregator-cli-0.8.0).
I tested different tasks (XML config files) with the basic version and the eduGAIN one and I always end up with an incomprehensible error:

[main] ERROR net.shibboleth.metadata.cli.SimpleCommandLine - Unable to initialize Spring context
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'validateSignature' defined in URL [file:/opt/aggregator-cli-0.8.0/../eduGAIN-Metadata-Processing/config/UKsimpleConfig.xml]: Cannot create inner bean 'net.shibboleth.ext.spring.factory.X509CertificateFactoryBean#491cc5c9' of type [net.shibboleth.ext.spring.factory.X509CertificateFactoryBean] while setting bean property 'verificationCertificate'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'net.shibboleth.ext.spring.factory.X509CertificateFactoryBean#491cc5c9' defined in URL [file:/opt/aggregator-cli-0.8.0/../eduGAIN-Metadata-Processing/config/UKsimpleConfig.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null
	at org.springframework.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at org.springframework.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source)

If I comment out that signature Bean I will get:

[main] ERROR net.shibboleth.metadata.cli.SimpleCommandLine - Unable to initialize Spring context
org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'serialize' defined in URL [file:/opt/aggregator-cli-0.8.0/../eduGAIN-Metadata-Processing/config/UKsimpleConfig.xml]: Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: null
	at org.springframework.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at org.springframework.asm.ClassReader.<init>(Unknown Source)

If I comment out the serialize bean It looks like it is working but I have no output to check that and indeed the aggregator do not perform « interesting » things then.

So, lets focus on the basic aggregator client. I run it as root with the command:
# JMVOPTS=-Xmx256M ./mda.sh --logConfig /opt/eduGAIN-Metadata-Processing/config/logback.xml /opt/eduGAIN-Metadata-Processing/config/UKsimpleConfig.xml main

The latter file is attached.

I have enabled the verbose and the log file outputs but have no other elements.
I have checked the URLs, the rights on file system, the paths, the files names and their existence...
I have started simple and added some Beans progressively. It looks like it is related to reading (key/cert) and writing (outputs) things on the filesystem...

Any help or insight would be really appreciated.

Cheers,
