------------------------------------
mail-archive isn't working for me right now; I'm guessing it's this thread from
2004:

The right solution, imo, is for Weblogic to do what all containers do/should do
and use a package name rewrite at build time so they have their dependencies in
private space. Presumably not likely to happen.
Need to look at the attached mailing list code, also consider the option in
LANG-241 that asked for an optional ClassLoader parameter.
> object cloning with SerializationUtils has classloader problems with no

>
> Key: LANG-626
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-626
> Project: Commons Lang
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: lang.*
> Environment: WebLogic 10.3
> Reporter: Ernest Pasour
>
> In WebLogic 10.3, commons_lang is included on the main classpath, trumping
> the commons_lang on a webapp classpath (in webinf/lib). This causes
> ClassNotFoundException errors when using SerializationUtils.clone() because
> Java serialization uses the classloader of the current class (class invoked
> from) when doing serialization. Java serialization does not respond to the
> thread context classloader.
> Fix: The following web page suggests a fix (including the full source code)
> that honors the context classloader if set. I don't know if this is the
> ideal solution, but at least it allows the problem to be worked around
> without affecting working behavior for existing clients.
> http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg44524.html
> Workaround: There is a flag to set on weblogic that inverts the classloader.
> *HOWEVER*, this only works if the webapp does not need certain xml jars.
> Otherwise, WebLogic will fail to start because *it* has classloader issues.
> Therefore, this is not an acceptable workaround.
> Another workaround: The only workaround I know of is to copy the
> SerializationUtils class into a different package in my app so that the
> proper invocation context will be used for serialization. This is very
> undesirable.
> I found these 3 bugs in the database that all seem to be the same problem.
