solprovider updated COCOON-2068: -------------------------------- Description: The ClassLoader from currentThread.getContextClassLoader() was unable to retrieve classes in my environment. Add fallback to standard Java class loading. NOTE: The two "set" lines would work in either order. I believe Cocoon is using a custom ClassLoader to dynamically load changes so the custom method must be tried first. (The auto-reload ability will be lost for environments using the fallback, but at least they will be able to use Cocoon.) public class ClassUtils{ public static Class loadClass(String className) throws ClassNotFoundException{ Class ret; try{ ret= ClassUtils.getClassLoader().loadClass(className); }catch(ClassNotFoundException e){ ret= Class.forName(className); } return ret; } } was: The ClassLoader from currentThread.getContextClassLoader() was unable to retrieve classes in my environment. Add fallback to standard Java class loading. NOTE: The two "set" lines work in either order. I prefer trying standard methods before using custom code, but Cocoon may be reasons for using custom code. public class ClassUtils{ public static Class loadClass(String className) throws ClassNotFoundException{ Class ret; try{ ret= Class.forName(className); }catch(ClassNotFoundException e){ ret= ClassUtils.getClassLoader().loadClass(className); } return ret; } } Realized why custom class loader is needed. > Add failover for loading classes. > --------------------------------- > > Key: COCOON-2068 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COCOON-2068 > Project: Cocoon > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: * Cocoon Core > Affects Versions: 2.1.10 > Reporter: solprovider > Priority: Minor > > The ClassLoader from currentThread.getContextClassLoader() was unable to > retrieve classes in my environment.
