[jboss-user] [Javassist user questions] - error reloading a class

[cat4hire]

Hi all,
I'm writing a custom class loader that exploits Javassist to manipulate classes on the fly. This is what I'd like to do:
1) start with a clear class (not manipulated) loaded from the root custom classloader
2) manipulate the class inserting an interface on it, load the class with a custom classloader child of the root one
3) cast the new instance to the added interface
4) reload the class without the interface with a third loader, child of the root one

Now, steps from 1-3 works, but I'm not able to remove the interface. Or better, if I reload the class without the interface and try to cast it to the interface I success. The problem seems that after step 2 the class is frozen to the one with the interface and its definition is not allowed. I've tried to defrost the class, but it does not work. Please note that the clean class is firstly loaded without any manipulation, in order to provide a clean in memory image of the class.

Any suggestion?
