[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JGRP-1762) Util.loadClass(): do we use the correct ClassLoader ?

Util.loadClass(): do we use the correct ClassLoader ? ----------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-1762 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JGRP-1762 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Task Reporter: Bela Ban Assignee: Bela Ban Fix For: 3.4.2, 3.5 Investigate whether the code below uses the right classloader. Perhaps we should try to get the classloader of the instances passed to us *before* attempting to use the calling thread's class loader ? The current code is: {noformat} public static Class loadClass(String classname, Class clazz) throws ClassNotFoundException { ClassLoader loader; try { loader=Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); if(loader != null) { return loader.loadClass(classname); } } catch(Throwable t) { } if(clazz != null) { try { loader=clazz.getClassLoader(); if(loader != null) { return loader.loadClass(classname); } } catch(Throwable t) { } } try { loader=ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader(); if(loader != null) { return loader.loadClass(classname); } } catch(Throwable t) { } throw new ClassNotFoundException(classname); } {noformat}
