             Summary: Applet ClassLoader Problems
                 Key: AMQ-4746
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-4746
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: JMS client
    Affects Versions: 5.7.0
         Environment: Windows 7, Java 1.7 or 1.6, Applet
            Reporter: Calvin Moody


In ClassLoadingAwareObjectInputStream.java the  load() method makes a call to 
Class.forName().

For the primitive types (int, boolean, etc.) this would result in a call 
similar to:
    Class.forName("int", false, loader); //Where loader is the 
Applet2ClassLoader

Since Applet2ClassLoader is a URLClassLoader and "int.class" is not in the jar 
cache it pulled down from the server at the start of application, it is going 
to try and go to the server to resolve this class.
In the event of a network failure, this will result in the ClassLoader having 
to wait for the socket timeout. (see stacktrace in previous post) Once this 
socket timeout occurs, the load() method then attempts to lookup the class in 
the primitive HashMap that is statically initialized. This returns the class 
for the int and the deserialization continues on.

At first it seemed like the messages were failing to be received but it turned 
out they were just taking a very long time to be deserialized. This problem can 
be avoided by changing the order in which ClassLoadingAwareObjectInputStream 
tries to resolve the class. 

Here is the change I made to the load() method:
