ClassNotFouncException for Array Types when Running under JDK 1.6 ----------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBRULES-1553 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBRULES-1553 Project: JBoss Drools Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 5.0.0-M1 Reporter: Ming Jin Assigned To: Ming Jin Priority: Minor Fix For: 5.0.0-M1 Running a test under JDK 1.6, a ClassNotFoundException would be thrown whenever a loadClass(className) was called while the className was the name of an array object, such as "[B" for byte array, etc. This is definitely new in JDK 1.6. The corresponding bug could be found at http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;jsessionid=2a9a78e4393c5e678a.... There are two workaround available: 1. setting an environment variable when starting VM: -Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true. 2. using Class.forName(className, initializationFlag, classLoader) instead of classLoader.loadClass(className). -- 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
