-----------------------------------------
Summary: Fallback to thread context class loader in
SpecificData.getClass()
Key: AVRO-1425
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AVRO-1425
Project: Avro
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java
Affects Versions: 1.7.5
Reporter: Bertrand Delacretaz
Priority: Minor
While trying to implement a simple Avro serializer that works in an OSGi
environment I stumbled on the fact that SpecificData.getClass() only uses its
own ClassLoader. Letting it fallback to the thread context class loader (TCCL)
makes it more OSGi-friendly, as callers can then set the TCCL as needed.
AVRO-987, which hasn't been applied and is now stale, is about making Avro
fully OSGi compliant and would fix my issue as well, but I tried to aim for the
minimal changes that work for me (patch follows).
My use case is at https://github.com/bdelacretaz/avro-osgi-test - at commit
e3b4c47839 there my test passes with the attached patch applied to avro trunk
revision 1552851.
