Henri Yandell updated BEANUTILS-263:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: 1.8.0
I think we should try to fix this for 1.8.0 - if it doesn't lead to any major
functionality changes or an API change.
> Improve ClassConverter robustness

> Key: BEANUTILS-263

> 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).
