Investigate whether the code below uses the right classloader. Perhaps we should try to get the classloader of the instances passed to us *before* attempting to use the calling thread's class loader ?

The current code is:

{noformat}
   public static Class loadClass(String classname, Class clazz) throws ClassNotFoundException {
        ClassLoader loader;

        try {
            loader=Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
            if(loader != null) {
                return loader.loadClass(classname);
            }
        }
        catch(Throwable t) {
        }

        if(clazz != null) {
            try {
                loader=clazz.getClassLoader();
                if(loader != null) {
                    return loader.loadClass(classname);
                }
            }
            catch(Throwable t) {
            }
        }

        try {
            loader=ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();
            if(loader != null) {
                return loader.loadClass(classname);
            }
        }
        catch(Throwable t) {
        }

        throw new ClassNotFoundException(classname);
    }
{noformat}
