[jboss-user] [EJB/JBoss] - PostConstruct loadClass fails when porting to JBoss 5

I am in the process of trying out the new JBoss 5.0CR1 with Java 5 and am running into some classpath/loading issues. All applications built, deployed, and tested successfully with a legacy instance of JBoss 4.2.2.GA just prior to running these tests, so I am sure the overall structure of the EAR/EJB is correct. Something appears different with the class loadClass() in JBoss 5 versus earlier versions. My @PostConstruct has the following code | @PostConstruct | public void init() { | log.warn("init(), daoClass=" + daoClassName); | teller = new TellerImpl(); | | try { | //direct instantiation works | AccountDAO dao = new xxx.jpa.JPAAccountDAO(); | log.warn("found:" + dao.getClass()); | //reflection approach no longer works | dao = (AccountDAO)Thread.currentThread() | .getContextClassLoader() | .loadClass(daoClassName) | .newInstance(); | ((TellerImpl)teller).setAcctDAO(dao); | } | catch (Exception ex) { | log.fatal("error loading dao class:" + daoClassName, ex); | ... | } | } | As shown by the following debug output, the direct instantiation (added to help debug this) works, but the reflection no longer works when I deploy to JBoss 5.0CR1 versus 4.x | WARN [TellerEJB] init(), xxx.jpa.JPAAccountDAO | | WARN [TellerEJB] found:class xxx.jpa.JPAAccountDAO | FATAL [TellerEJB] error loading dao xxx.jpa.JPAAccountDAO | java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: xxx.jpa.JPAAccountDAO | thanks, jim View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4170954#...
