Cocoon stores the Application Root Classloader in each threads Context
Classloader so that we can execute the following snippet to get it:
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
The issue with the JDBC driver was the the loadClass(name) function does
not resolve the class--which is essential to dynamically installing the
driver in the JDBC DriverManager.
I solved the problem by using the JDK1.2 (or is it 1.3 specific) method:
Class.forName(name, true, classLoader);
What this does is load a class with the specified classloader, and the
"true" parameter tells the ClassLoader to resolve the class.
