> When the Desc class has to load an array type during instrumentation, it fails when its global flag useContextClassLoader is set to true.
> The following testcase demonstrates this :
> ---
> package test_descForName;
> import javassist.runtime.Desc;
> import org.junit.Assert;
> import org.junit.Test;
> public class TestDescForName {
> 	@Test
> 	public void test() {
> 		// try it using classloader of TestDescForName
> 		Desc.useContextClassLoader = false;
> 		Assert.assertTrue(Desc.getClazz("[Ljava.lang.String;") != null);
> 		Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(TestDescForName.class.getClassLoader());
> 		Desc.useContextClassLoader = true;
> 		Assert.assertTrue(Desc.getClazz("[Ljava.lang.String;") != null);
> 	}
> }
> ---
> The root cause for this defect is the use of ClassLoader#loadClass in method getClassObject (which doesn't handle array types):
> 	private static Class getClassObject(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException {
> 		if (useContextClassLoader)
> 			return Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(name);
> 		else
> 			return Class.forName(name);
> 	}
> The fix is to use the three argument version of Class#forName (which does handle array types):
> 	private static Class getClassObject(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException {
> 		if (useContextClassLoader)
> 			return Class.forName(name, true, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
> 		else
> 			return Class.forName(name);
> 	}
> Hooray, my first fix for javassist :)
> Best regards,
