Tom  Elrod commented on JBREM-659:
----------------------------------

Forgot to mention, although was able to manually test some of the remoting tests within the testsuite using jdk 1.6, could not run the automated testsuite run with jdk 1.6.  The reason for this is that distributed test framework used (JBoss JRunit) uses JGroups for its communication transport, which itself uses ClassLoader.loadClass() and therefore can't run under jdk 1.6 (see http://javagroups.cvs.sourceforge.net/javagroups/JGroups/src/org/jgroups/util/Util.java?revision=1.113&view=markup).

Therefore, although 1.4.6.GA, 2.2.0.Beta1 and any 3.x releases *should* work with jdk 1.6, I can't say they will with certainty since can't run the full testsuite.

> The ClassLoader.loadClass() should be used only for plain classes, not for arrays etc. In ObjectInputStreamWithClassLoader.resolveClass() call:
> return Class.forName(v.getName(), false, cl);
