Lars Kühne commented on YOKO-258:
---------------------------------

The only actual *use* of the classes Vector seems to be in 
ClassLoaderLocal.getLoaderLocalMap():

            Vector v = getClassesVector(cl);

            Object o = v.get(0);
            if (!(o instanceof ClassLocalMap)) {
                map = new ClassLocalMap();
                v.add(o);
                v.set(0, map);
            } else {
                map = (ClassLocalMap) o;
            }


In other words, this code implements a mapping from the current thread's 
context classloader to some ClassLocalMap object. It is not clear to me why 
that mapping has to be stored in the ClassLoader's classes vector. Shouldn't it 
be stored somewhere in the ClassLoaderLocal class?

>            Reporter: Vasily Zakharov
>
> org.apache.yoko.rmi.util.ClassLoaderLocal class contains the following line 
> in its static initializer:
>       classes_vector = ClassLoader.class.getDeclaredField("classes");
> This line references the 'classes' field in class java.lang.ClassLoader, and 
> that field is not documented by API JavaDoc and may be absent in particular 
> Java VM/classlib implementations, for example it's absent in Apache Harmony.
> As the result of this issue, the classes 
> org.apache.yoko.rmi.util.ClassLoaderLocal and 
> org.apache.yoko.rmi.impl.PortableRemoteObjectExtImpl fail to load with 
> NoSuchFieldException, on those implementations.
