Faulty classloading - unreachable code
--------------------------------------
Key: ABDERA-279
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ABDERA-279
Project: Abdera
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.1.1
Reporter: Antoine Toulme
The Discover class uses this method to get a class:
{code}
private static <T> Class<T> getClass(ClassLoader loader, String spec) {
Class<T> c = null;
try {
c = (Class<T>)loader.loadClass(spec);
c = (Class<T>)(c != null ? c :
getClass(Discover.class.getClassLoader(), spec));
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
return c;
}
{code}
However the first line inside the try statement will throw a CNF exception if
the class cannot be found. As a result, the second line is never executed.
{code}
c = (Class<T>)(c != null ? c : getClass(Discover.class.getClassLoader(), spec));
{code}
The code executes recursively, which makes things harder. I would recommend
changing the way the code is currently written to avoid recursion.
