CORBA/RMI delegate code requires delegate implementation to be on the system 
classpath
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: GERONIMO-2510
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2510
             Project: Geronimo
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: public (Regular issues)
          Components: CORBA
            Reporter: Dain Sundstrom


When the java.rmi.Util class is loaded, it uses Class.forName to load the 
UtilDelegate specified in a system property.  This is what yoko uses:

    private static UtilDelegate delegate = null;
    private static final String defaultDelegate = 
"org.apache.yoko.rmi.impl.UtilImpl";

    static {
        // Initialize delegate
        String delegateName = System.getProperty("javax.rmi.CORBA.UtilClass", 
defaultDelegate);
        try {
            delegate = (UtilDelegate)Class.forName(delegateName).newInstance();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            throw new RuntimeException("Can not create Util delegate: 
"+delegateName, e);
        }
    }


IIRC Class.forName(String) uses the class loader of the class containing the 
code, and since java.rmi.Util will always be on the system class path our 
delegate must be on the system class path :(

I see a few choices:

* change yoko to use the thread context class loader... then add a gbean to set 
the property and load the Util class. repeat of every delegate class.
* write a delegate delegate that allows us to swap out the actual delegate 
implementation later
* split out out delegate class into a jar we can put on the system class path
