Bug 20473

Summary: Incorrect classloader used to define JMI interface/impls
Product: java Reporter: Svata Dedic <sdedic>
Component: UnsupportedAssignee: Martin Matula <mmatula>
Status: VERIFIED FIXED    
Severity: blocker

Description Svata Dedic 2002-02-12 17:57:17 UTC 
The MDR module obtains TopManager.systemClassLoader() instance during its
initialization and tries to use this instance forever. But core replaces the
instance (and throws away the old one) whenever the set of modules change. This
caching will sometimes result in spurious ClassCastExceptions - types' FQNs are
OK, but to a different classloader.
Please don't cache the classloader and always use the current systemClassLoader
instance to define new classes.
