Stefan Seelmann commented on DIRSTUDIO-585:
-------------------------------------------

Thanks Karsten for the proposed workaround.

I think we should get rid of the XMLEncoder at all. 

In Utils it is used to store some preferences and I was to lazy to build our 
own Object<->XML mapping. I'll add your proposed workaround here.

In BrowserConnectionManager it is only used for backward compatibility to be 
able to convert old connections.xml format. I think we use the new file format 
since 1.0. So the code in this class should never be executed. Let's remove the 
legacy code with Studio 2.0

> Hi,
> in BrowserConnectionManager.load
> and in
> Utils.serialize / deserialize
> we recognized that the ClassLoader is modified without conserving / resetting 
> it to the previous one at the end.
> This conflicted with our class loading mechanisms ... streaming from our own 
> class store.
> As a quick fix for testing, we could do for example the following; however, 
> this is not a real solution:
>     public static String serialize( Object o )
>     {
>       String s = null;
>         Thread cur_thrd = Thread.currentThread(); //patch reset current class 
> loader
>         ClassLoader cur_thrd_cl = cur_thrd.getContextClassLoader();
>         try{
>               cur_thrd.setContextClassLoader( Utils.class.getClassLoader() );
>               ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
>               XMLEncoder encoder = new XMLEncoder( baos );
>               encoder.writeObject( o );
>               encoder.close();
>               s = LdifUtils.utf8decode( baos.toByteArray() );
>         }finally{
>             cur_thrd.setContextClassLoader(cur_thrd_cl);
>         }
>         return s;
>     }
> => Is there a better way?
> Thanks and regards,
> Karsten
