Simone Tripodi commented on DISCOVERY-11:
-----------------------------------------
wouldn't be better letting users know that there are problem on loading their
classes, instead of simply swallowing exceptions and ignoring the class loading?
I'm worried that the proposed solution could drive crazy someone...
> Service.providers Enumeration does not catch and discard
> UnsatisfiedLinkErrors and ExceptionInInitializerErrors
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

> Key: DISCOVERY-11
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DISCOVERY-11
> Project: Commons Discovery
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.4
> Environment: Windows, Sun JDK 1.5.0.10
> Reporter: Michael Rudolf
>
> The enumeration created by Service.providers does not catch
> UnsatisfiedLinkErrors and ExceptionInInitializerErrors. The former can arise,
> if a class contains a call to System.loadLibrary(String) in its static
> initializer, while the latter will be thrown, when a runtime exception is
> thrown from the static initializer. Service.providers should catch and ignore
> these and it should simply discard the class provoking the error as not
> available. As of version 0.4, Commons Discovery just forwards these errors.
