Mark Struberg commented on OWB-497:
-----------------------------------
What about NoClassDefFoundErrors?
Guess we get this pretty frequently with the standard way of handling
'optional' functionality: checking for existence with class.forName and then
invoking a helper class which invokes the classes directly. At the time we
parse this helper class, we should end up with this exception.

> Running the jsr303 tck with OWB installed in geronimo we run into a bunch of
> exceptions that I think must be a jdk bug: calling a method that causes the
> annotations on a class to be initialized (clazz.getAnnotations() for
> instance) throws and exception
> Caused by: java.lang.ArrayStoreException:
> sun.reflect.annotation.TypeNotPresentExceptionProxy

> Googling this is supposedly caused by an annotation (whose class is loadable)
> having a value whose class is missing. In my particular case I can't verify
> this as the cause.
> In any case, OWB seems to have a policy that if a class can't have its
> annotations read (e.g. ClassNotFoundException or NoClassDefFoundError) we
> ignore it. I think this policy should be extended to when this exception
> occurs.
