Support custom class loader for mapped classes
----------------------------------------------
Key: GRFT-100
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GRFT-100
Project: Graffito
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: JCR-Mapping
Affects Versions: 1.0-a1-dev
Reporter: Felix Meschberger
Currently, the ReflectionUtils.forName(String) method provides a class loading
service, which just uses the class loader of the ReflectionUtils class itself
to load classes. Many classes use the ReflectionUtils.forName(String) method,
but some use the direct Class.forName(String) method.
Loading classes using Class.forName usually works very well in "simple"
applications without much class loader ado. In certain environments, e.g. OSGi
frameworks, classloaders are heavily used to separate parts of the application
from other parts. In such environments, loading classes must be carefully
crafted and using Class.forName(String) may not be adequate.
To come around this limitation a bit, I propose to add functionality to the
ReflectionUtils class to inject a custom class loader to be used.
