> RequestUtils.applicationClass problem with ContextClassLoader
> -------------------------------------------------------------
>
>          Key: STR-985
>          URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/STR-985
>      Project: Struts Action 1
>         Type: Improvement

>   Components: Action
>     Versions: Nightly Build
>  Environment: Operating System: All
> Platform: All
>     Reporter: Kjeld Froberg
>     Priority: Minor

>
> When the Struts example shipped is loaded, it initializes some resources as
> static fields.
> However when loading these classes, it uses the RequestUtils.applicationClass
> method, and this method uses the ContextClassLoader to lookup the requested 
> class.
> But because it is loading the classes in a static field, it cannot be sure 
> that
> the ContextClassLoader has all classes from f.x. WEB-INF/lib loaded.
> I'm using the Trifork app. server, and it gets a ClassNotFoundException from a
> class contained in the struts.jar, but if i use Tomcat it seems to work fine,
> that's because (I presume) the ContextClassLoader is null at the time.
> "Snippet from RequestUtils"
>         // Look up the class loader to be used
>         ClassLoader classLoader =
>             Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
>         if (classLoader == null) {
>             classLoader = RequestUtils.class.getClassLoader();
>         }
> A solution to the problem could be,
> if you look at the forum for Hibernate it has a good description how to use 
> the
> ContextClassLoader in a multiple classloader environment (an app.server f.x.)
