We use some of the 1.5 concurrency  stuff in several places, rather than synchronization.  Our understanding was that Retroweaver was supposed to support that, via this library:
http://dcl.mathcs.emory.edu/php/loadPage.php?content=/util/overview.html

Are you putting the backport-util-concurrent.jar from the Retroweaver lib directory on your app classpath at runtime?  If not, try that.  If you are, then try including the backport jar on the classpath when you weave the jar files, and then also include it on your runtime classpath in your app.  I'm not sure which is the correct approach, their docs unfortunately don't give any specific instructions there that I can find.

If this doesn't work, then we'd have to bug the Retroweaver people for some advice, or else look at some of the other backporting tools, like Retrotranslator and JBossRetro.

Hi Brent (and Chad),

I actually had already started down the retroweaver path, so its good to know that I was at least going in the right direction.  I weaved openSAML2.1, openWS and xmltooling, and rebuilt and ran my webapp using those versions.  My webapp now loads successfully, but I am currently running into the following error.  Appears the Lock class is very specific to 1.5+ and not supported through 1.4.  Would you have expected the weaving to have handled this?  It looks like the code is using syncronized methods, both weaved and unweaved, so not sure where Lock is getting referenced.

Just to help you out here, looks like you can do something like this:

1) grab the Retroweaver dist from: http://retroweaver.sourceforge.net/

2) run something like this for each 1.5 jar you want to weave (paths
assume you are in the exploded Retroweaver directory):


java
 -cp
release/retroweaver-all-2.0.5.jar:lib/asm-3.1.jar:lib/asm-commons-3.1.jar:lib/asm-util-3.1.jar

 net.sourceforge.retroweaver.Weaver
 -jar /tmp/xmltooling-1.0.1.jar /tmp/xmltooling-1.01-weaved.jar


There's also an Ant task, you could easily make a little script to do
it.  Or see our old build.xml (except that that weaved from the source,
the above operates on the compiled jar directly).


HTH,
Brent
