Fixing plug-in startup errors

Admin Plugin

If you see this error:

2009-11-03 14:54:57,776 [main] ERROR o.red5.server.plugin.PluginLauncher - Error loading plugin: org.red5.server.plugin.admin.AdminPlugin; Method: null; Exception: org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'authClientRegistry' defined in class path resource [admin-security.xml]: Instantiation of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/springframework/security/BadCredentialsException

It means you are missing some library jars required by the admin. To resolve this, just place the following jars in the red5/plugins directory:

derby-10.5.3.0.jar
commons-dbcp-1.2.2.jar
spring-jdbc-2.5.6.jar
spring-orm-2.5.6.jar
spring-security-core-2.5.6.jar
spring-tx-2.5.6.jar

If you are using a security manager with Red5 and the admin plug-in, you must add the following entries to your policy file:

grant codeBase "file:plugins/adminplugin.jar" {
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "getenv.DERBY_HOME";
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission "derby.*", "read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}","read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}${/}*", "read,write,delete";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.dir}${/}-", "read,write,delete";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}${/}Admin${/}-", "read,write,delete";
};

grant codeBase "file:plugins/derby-10.5.3.0.jar" {
  permission java.lang.RuntimePermission "createClassLoader";
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission "derby.*", "read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}","read";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}${/}*", "read,write,delete";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${user.dir}${/}-", "read,write,delete";
  permission java.io.FilePermission "${derby.system.home}${/}Admin${/}-", "read,write,delete";
  permission java.util.PropertyPermission "derby.storage.jvmInstanceId", "write"; 
};
