Unable to create a JDBC driver using custom class loader
--------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DBCP-333
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DBCP-333
             Project: Commons Dbcp
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.3
            Reporter: Krasimir Nedkov


Hello,

I'm unable to instantiate my JDBC driver using a custom class loader:
        BasicDataSource ds = new BasicDataSource();
        String connectURL = 
"jdbc:mysql://"+config.getHost()+"/"+config.getDatabaseName();
        ds.setDriverClassName(MySQLStore.MYSQL_DRIVER);
        ds.setDriverClassLoader(config.getClass().getClassLoader());
        .....

Having a look at the 
org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource.createConnectionFactory() method 
implementation, I found that the class loader is actually ignored. In the first 
part of the method there is an attempt to load the class that seems to pass 
successfully, but the loaded class is not assigned to the driverFromCCL 
variable:
            if (driverClassLoader == null) {
                 Class.forName(driverClassName);
            } else {
                 Class.forName(driverClassName, true, driverClassLoader);
            }

Then in the second part of the method driverFromCCL is still null and instead 
of instantiating the driver directly, DriverManager.getDriver(url) is called, 
which fails:
            if (driverFromCCL == null) {
                driver = DriverManager.getDriver(url);
            } else {
                // Usage of DriverManager is not possible, as it does not
                // respect the ContextClassLoader
                driver = (Driver) driverFromCCL.newInstance();
                if (!driver.acceptsURL(url)) {
                    throw new SQLException("No suitable driver", "08001"); 
                }
            }

Kind regards,
Krasimir
