[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - ClassLoader issues

My web application (which is deployed under JBoss) is throwing a lot of exceptions and they appear to all be instances where calls to java.lang.Class.forName() is failing. After some googling I have found the following info: If you use Class.forName() this is MyClass?.class.getClassLoader().loadClass(...) which will start from the classloader where your class is deployed. You should use Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(...) to load from the current application's classloader. Is this accurate? I *really* would prefer *not* to modify the entire code-base to access the ClassLoader differently. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4110689#...
