That is true, arrays are not constructed by loadClass() calls.
Class.forName() does
it, but has this ugly and uneblievably stupid in-VM cache.
Maybe a solution would be to have a surrogate method that does array
construction but does not rely
on Class.forName, like this
not at all tested, rapidly hacked and not checked for performance piece of
code
package org.jboss.util;
public class Clazz {
public static Class forName(String bla) throws WhateverException {
if(bla.endsWith("[];")) {
Class
componentClass=forName(bla.substring(0,bla.length()-3));
return
java.lang.reflect.Array.newInstance(componentClass,0).getClass();
} else {
return
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(bla);
}
}

|Question for you classloading feaks out there, what is the difference
|between:
|
|x = "some.class.name";
|Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass(x);
|
|and
|
|x = "some.class.name";
|Class.forName(x, false,
| Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
|
|Peter Levart, submitted a patch that replaces a statment like the
|first with
|a statment like the seconds. It's supposed to allow "loading
|array class for a base class that hasn't been loaded yet."
|
|My thing is, it seems like they do the same thing. What's the
|difference?
|
|Regards,
|Hiram
