Wrapping the LoaderUltil (log4j-api) calls in Loader (log4j-core) like below does work, I can load classes in core when I replace LoaderUtil.newCheckedInstanceOfProperty() with the proposed Loader.newCheckedInstanceOfProperty(), even when I remove all dependencies in log4j-api to log4j-core in the manifest.
Shall I create a pull-request for this? Rob public static <T> T newCheckedInstanceOfProperty(final String propertyName, final Class<T> clazz) throws ClassNotFoundException, NoSuchMethodException, InvocationTargetException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException { ClassLoader contextClassLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(); try { Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(getClassLoader()); return LoaderUtil.newCheckedInstanceOfProperty(propertyName, clazz); } finally { if (contextClassLoader != null) { Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(contextClassLoader); } } } On Fri, Oct 5, 2018 at 9:47 PM Ralph Goers <ralph.go...@dslextreme.com> wrote: > If you are explicitly passing around ClassLoaders then it would probably > work correctly.
