ClassNotFoundException with dynamically compiled classes

2011-06-15 Thread Tassilo Horn
Hi all,

in my clojure project, I'm working with an external java graph library.
Graphs represented by that library conform to a user-specified data
model, that is, the graph itself and all its vertices and edges are
objects of some java class, which is dynamically generated and compiled
when loading such a graph.

Now the problem is that I don't have access to these classes but only to
the instances.  Here's a REPL session:

--8---cut here---start-8---
de.uni-koblenz.funtg.test.funtl (def mygraph (load-graph 
/home/horn/uni/repos/funql/test/greqltestgraph.tg))
#'de.uni-koblenz.funtg.test.funtl/mygraph
de.uni-koblenz.funtg.test.funtl mygraph
#RouteMapImpl 
de.uni_koblenz.jgralabtest.schemas.greqltestschema.impl.std.RouteMapImpl@3e2d015f
de.uni-koblenz.funtg.test.funtl (class mygraph)
de.uni_koblenz.jgralabtest.schemas.greqltestschema.impl.std.RouteMapImpl
de.uni-koblenz.funtg.test.funtl 
de.uni_koblenz.jgralabtest.schemas.greqltestschema.impl.std.RouteMapImpl
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: 
de.uni_koblenz.jgralabtest.schemas.greqltestschema.impl.std.RouteMapImpl
  [Thrown class java.lang.RuntimeException]
; Evaluation aborted.
de.uni-koblenz.funtg.test.funtl (Class/forName 
de.uni_koblenz.jgralabtest.schemas.greqltestschema.impl.std.RouteMapImpl)
de.uni_koblenz.jgralabtest.schemas.greqltestschema.impl.std.RouteMapImpl
  [Thrown class java.lang.ClassNotFoundException]
; Evaluation aborted.
--8---cut here---end---8---

Why can't I access that class by its qualified name although it's there?

Bye,
Tassilo

Perhaps it's not visible to the normal classloader, but it is to some
other classloader used by this graph library.

Can you not just use (class some-instance) to get ahold of the class
object, given you can get ahold of instances as you said, and then use
reflection on the class object?

Yes, indeed that library uses its own classloader.

Yes, that's what I'm currently doing.
