James Livingston commented on LOGMGR-99:
----------------------------------------
guessClass()'s TCCL lookup and system CL lookup pass false for the second parameter so
that the class is not initialised. The second forName() call which will use the log
manager CL uses the single argument version which results in true being passed. It is not
very likely that a log manager class would fail to initialise, but it may be worth
changing "Class.forName(name)" to "Class.forName(name, false,
Formatters.class.getClassLoader()" to be consistent although that wouldn't
prevent this issue.
A naive solution would be set a (thread-local?) marker when performing the logging and
abort if it attempts to log while logging. That would not however deal with Async loggers,
which would make solving it more complex.
Infinite recursion when exception stack frame class lookup fails

Key: LOGMGR-99
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/LOGMGR-99
Project: JBoss Log Manager
Issue Type: Bug
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Affects Versions: 1.5.1.Final
Reporter: James Livingston
Assignee: David Lloyd
Priority: Critical
Attachments: logmgr99.war
To print out the jar information in exception stack traces, the log manager needs to
resolve the class name from StackTraceElement to the Class object. Since the log manager
cannot know which classloader was used, guessClass() tries the TCCL, the logmanager's
classloader and finally the system classloader.
It is possible that the TCCL contains a class of the same name as the one in the stack
frame, but it not the same class. This can easily happen if the application packages a jar
that is also used by the container. In this situation, the class may not be able to be
loaded, such as if the application-packages class is missing it's dependencies.
If Class.forName() would throw a NoClassDefFoundError or similar, JBoss Modules (or other
classloader implementation) may attempt to log this using java.util.logging API. This can
result in infinite recursion, for example
