Classes in jar files referenced from script elements can't see each other

[Cameron McCormack]

Hi Thomas.

If I have a jar file A.jar that contains this single class:

  public class A implements EventListenerInitializer {
      public void initializeEventListeners(SVGDocument doc) {
          System.out.println("A.initializeEventListeners");
      }
  }

and another, B.jar, that contains another class:

  public class B implements EventListenerInitializer {
      public void initializeEventListeners(SVGDocument doc) {
          System.out.println("B.initializeEventListeners");
          try {
              Class.forName("A");
          } catch (Exception ex) {
              ex.printStackTrace();
          }
          System.out.println("done");
      }
  }   

and then reference these from an SVG file:

  <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";
       xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
    <script xlink:href="A.jar" type="application/java-archive"/>
    <script xlink:href="B.jar" type="application/java-archive"/>
  </svg>

I find that B cannot find the A class (in the Class.forName call).  Is
this intended?  When two ECMAScript scripts are referenced, the scripts
can see each other, by virtue of them both running on the same global
object, so I don't know that it would be bad, security-wise, to allow B
to create an A object in this manner.  What do you think?

Thanks,

Cameron
