(This is my first post. Please let me know if I've got the protocol wrong.)
First, I don't know that anyone else is even trying to run ClojureCLR in ASP.NET. All I've seen is this post<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/clojure/np3sRVTMrS4/discussion>from March 2010. It looks like the recommended patch (to RT.cs) was eventually incorporated. But I found that two other modifications were needed to use the current version (1.4): (Note that these only came up when loading Clojure in ASP.NET. I had no problems with console programs.) 1) *Can't locate assemblies in "bin"*. RT.load only looks for assemblies in "AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory". For ASP.NET applications, this is the root of the site, and assemblies are located under "bin". I did the following in RT.cs to get around this: @@ -3122,6 +3122,14 @@ namespace clojure.lang bool loaded = false; + // Look for assembly alongside this one + if (assyInfo == null && cljInfo == null) { + Uri codeBase; + + if (Uri.TryCreate(Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly().CodeBase, UriKind.Absolute, out codeBase) + && codeBase.IsFile) + assyInfo = FindFile(Path.GetDirectoryName(codeBase.LocalPath), assemblyname); + } + if ((assyInfo != null && (cljInfo == null || assyInfo.LastWriteTime > cljInfo.LastWriteTime))) Assembly location was changed in changeset 02607349 to use a non-probing path (although the paths returned by GetFindFilePaths() wouldn't locate in bin, either). ASP.NET includes "bin" in the standard probing path, but I think you have to actually load it for that to work. 2) *Static initialization error*. After that, loading the assembly results in the following error System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for '__Init__' threw an exception. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at clojure.lang.Compiler.FindDuplicateType(String typename) in \Clojure\Clojure\CljCompiler\Compiler.cs:line 866 at clojure.lang.RT.classForName(String p) in \Clojure\Clojure\Lib\RT.cs:line 2720 at __Init__.__static_ctor_helper_constants() at __Init__..cctor() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at __Init__.Initialize() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at System.RuntimeMethodHandle._InvokeMethodFast(IRuntimeMethodInfo method, Object target, Object[] arguments, SignatureStruct& sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeType typeOwner) at System.RuntimeMethodHandle.InvokeMethodFast(IRuntimeMethodInfo method, Object target, Object[] arguments, Signature sig, MethodAttributes methodAttributes, RuntimeType typeOwner) at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture, Boolean skipVisibilityChecks) at System.Reflection.RuntimeMethodInfo.Invoke(Object obj, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object[] parameters, CultureInfo culture) at System.RuntimeType.InvokeMember(String name, BindingFlags bindingFlags, Binder binder, Object target, Object[] providedArgs, ParameterModifier[] modifiers, CultureInfo culture, String[] namedParams) at System.Type.InvokeMember(String name, BindingFlags invokeAttr, Binder binder, Object target, Object[] args) at clojure.lang.Compiler.LoadAssembly(FileInfo assyInfo) in \Clojure\Clojure\CljCompiler\Compiler.cs:line 1275 Without getting too deep into the code<http://clojure.org/patches?responseToken=172419b0a608c93e78a91b42fd5283b5>, this is apparently due to the lexical order of the static initializers. It goes away if you move the following line in Compiler.cs to the top of the class: static Dictionary<String, Type> _duplicateTypeMap = new Dictionary<string, Type>(); Presumably, "FindDuplicateType" is in the call chain of a static initializer that appears above it — at least when running in ASP.NET. So I'm up and running now, but I'd like to help out if possible. Thanks, Gavin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
