Paying attention to my debugging has uncovered the problem.
The loader was throwing a java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
(missing some settings needed during static initialization)
in org.apache.axis.util.ClassUtils.forName this gets interpreted
as a ClassNotFoundException, with the causing Error dropped :(
try {
// Get the class within a doPrivleged block
Object ret =
AccessController.doPrivileged(
new PrivilegedAction() {
public Object run() {
try {
return Class.forName(className, true, loader);
} catch (Throwable e) {
return e;
}
}
});
// If the class was located, return it. Otherwise throw exception
if (ret instanceof Class) {
return (Class) ret;
} else if (ret instanceof ClassNotFoundException) {
throw (ClassNotFoundException) ret;
} else {
throw new ClassNotFoundException(_className);
}
