[jbpm-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBPM-1976) Bad usage of ClassLoader.loadClass() under JDK 6

Bad usage of ClassLoader.loadClass() under JDK 6 ------------------------------------------------ Key: JBPM-1976 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBPM-1976 Project: JBoss jBPM Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Core Engine Affects Versions: jBPM 3.2.5 GA Reporter: Alejandro Guizar Fix For: jBPM 3.2.6 GA Any class name provided as a String parameter to methods in ClassLoader must be a binary name as defined by the JLS (1). In particular, array syntax is not allowed, unless the system property sun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax is set to true. Sun recommends (2) replacing myClassLoader.loadClass(className); with Class.forName(className,false,myClassLoader); The first form has plenty of occurrences in the jBPM codebase. No bug has come to my attention with respect to array class loading. Anyhow, it is worthwhile to fix any potential problem in advance as other JBoss projects have (3).
