Hello,

I just noticed an interesting problem with the bean lifecycle method "stop()".

It seems that once we are in the stop method the classloader is not available 
anymore... 

Currently in my stop method, the code build an array from a list doing the 
following bit:

handlers = m_Handlers.toArray(new Handler[m_Handlers.size()]);

Now if, for some reason, the service was not used and the list was empty then 
the Handler class has not been loaded yet. It is only when my "stop" 
implementation tries to clean up everything that it needs to create a dummy 
array of "Handler".

I agree I can easily fix my code (already done! ;-) ) but still, I wonder if it 
would not be safer to close the access to the classloader only once the "stop" 
method has executed.

I kind of agree that for "destroy" it is probably reasonable. But I do wonder 
if there is not some legitimate situations where "stop" could really need to 
load one or two objects using the classloader (for example reporting some final 
stats results into some dedicated objects).

Any opinions?

Gilles.
