Code added in 4.2.1 breaks web app that works in 4.2.0 ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBAS-4927 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-4927 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Web (Tomcat) service Affects Versions: JBossAS-4.2.2.GA, JBossAS-4.2.1.GA Environment: linux, java5 Reporter: Greg Bridges Assigned To: Remy Maucherat Code was added in version 4.2.1 to the WebAppClassLoader class to override the findClass() operation. I have a web app that uses the sun rmi-iiop to connect to remote applications (which worked fine before). The stubs for my code are located in my deployed jars in the war. At line 98 in WebAppClassLoader.java, a call is made to attempt to run the iiopstubcompiler. It gets a ClassDefNotFound on the IIOPStubCompiler class, which then bypasses the catch block (which is looking for a RuntimeException). It looks like the intent was to run the super.findClass() if there is any trouble, but that doesn't happen due to the catch block being bypassed. If I change the code to catch Throwable or add a catch for ClassDefNotFound which runs super.findClass(), the app works as it did before. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
