Improve ClassConverter robustness
---------------------------------
Key: BEANUTILS-263
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEANUTILS-263
Project: Commons BeanUtils
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: ConvertUtils & Converters
Affects Versions: 1.7.0
Reporter: Alex Albu
Priority: Minor
To load a class by name, ClassConverter attempts to use (in order) the current
thread's context class loader and the class loader that loaded the class
itself. But in my opinion it is a little inconsistent in the way it does it.
Basically, it will use the second class loader as a fallback *only* if the
first one (context class loader) is not set (null). That causes the converter
to fail in environments where the context class loader is set but does not have
access to the class it's trying to load (Weblogic 9.2 is an example).
I think a more robust behavior would be to try the second class loader *any*
time using the context one fails (be it because it's not set, or it cannot load
the class for some reason).
