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=2a9a78e4393c5e678a2c80f90c1?bug_id=6434149.

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).
