Please do so ... I can easily provide e.g. a Maven snapshot release of 1.3.2 with this new method part of the contract, to ease testing on your side.

Kind regards
Werner

I totally agree with you. We do need a way to say what class loader to use.
I was checking with you whether I had missed something. I'll raise a JIRA
along with the other JIRA I still need to do when I get a chance!!

Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

Understood.

We generate the descriptors + pojo + cdr files via the SourceGeneratorMain
utility

org.exolab.castor.builder.SourceGeneratorMain -i XXXX.xsd -package
com.kirona.YYYY -dest src -nomarshall -f -types j2
-generateImportedSchemas
true

These all get compiled and packaged in the war in WEB-INF/classes along
with
the rest of the application.
Fine, and that's what it should be.

As a workaround I have done (by extending CasdtorMarshaller from Spring)

      XMLContext context = super.createXMLContext(arg0,arg1);


context.getInternalContext().setClassLoader(AcceptQuote.class.getClassLoader
());

...where AcceptQuote.class is a pojo generated by Castor. This works fine.
However context.getInternalContext() has been deprecated and I cannot find
an alternative.
Hmm. There's definitely a setClassLoader() method on the Unmarshaller
class, but I am not sure that this is exposed in any way.

Thinking about this, one could (and should) introduce a setClassLoader()
method on XMLContext to allow customization of class loaders. What do
you think ?



Thanks
P

Hi Paul,

it's been 5 years plus that I have seen somebody reporting a problem
like this. Okay, let me ask you a few questions:

- What tool are you using to generate classes (and descriptors) ?
- Do you compile your descriptor classes ?
- Do you package the compiled descriptors and the generated  .castor.cdr
files into your web application ?

And more importantly, are you ....

- deploying standard WAR files on Tomcat ?
- having all dependencies (incl. Castor) provided within WEB-INF/lib of
your web application ?

Regards
Werner

Hello All,



This seems to be a common problem but I can't seem to find the solution.



We use castor to marshall and unmarshall using package descriptors/.cdr
files.



All is fine in eclipse. When deploying to tomcat due to where certain
libraries are placed we get classnotfound exceptions. Basically I need to
tell the marshaller and unmarshaller what class loader to use. How can I
do
this?



Thanks

Paul
