Hi, I found a mail (see below) in the MailingListArchive, but no answer to the issue. When we upgraded to 0.9.5 we also had this problem and had to change several OJB classes. Now we'd like to jump to 0.9.7. Looking at the new OJB classes, I see that still the classes are loaded via: clazz = Class.forName(className, true, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader()); This does not work within our develeopment environment (JBuilder5 & Tomcat). Any idea, what's the problem ? Is is also feasable to use "Class.forName(className);" ? thanks Frank Strickstrock. From: Mark Rowell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Subject: getContextClassLoader returning null Date: Mon, 2 Sep 2002 15:36:53 +0100 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Hi I have been running with the latest version of OJB and SQL Server and all is OK. However, I need to use Excel as a front end and I am using the J-Integra Java/COM bridge to call my Java stuff (which is exposed as COM objects). When I run in this way OJB does not startup, as the call to getContextClassLoader in the load() method of the class ConfigurationAbstractImpl fails as the method returns null for the context class loader. I have patched it by setting the context class loader with the system class loader. First off, I was wondering if this was acceptable, and then if so, I was wondering if anyone could patch the CVS tree (I dont have access) so I dont have to reapply my patch when the next release comes out. Also, can I make a request or all methods in StatementManager to use the field conversions on primary key values as I need to use timestamps in some of my classes and I had to patch StatementManager to get it to work.
