[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBCL-17) New ClassLoader not finding generated classes in the bootstrap classloader

[Adrian Brock (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBCL-17?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12426435#action_12426435 ] 

Adrian Brock commented on JBCL-17:
----------------------------------

No, the whole point of using getResource() is to avoid having to invoke loadClass()
on the classloader which will synchronize on the classloader and signal not found by creating
a ClassNotFoundException.

There's no point doing the getResource() if you always then invoke loadClass() anyway.

> An optimisation in the new classloader is causing a backwards compatibility problem.
> When we load classes from the parent (bootstrap) classloader,
> we first check to see whether we can getResource() on the class file.
> This avoids excessive locking when many threads are trying to loadClass() on that classloader.
> However, if the class is a runtime generated class against that classloader getResource()
> will return null, leading to a ClassNotFoundException.
> While we've always done this optimization for JBoss ClassLoaders, it looks like we can't to do
> this non-jboss classloaders and maintain backwards compatibility.
