Hello Werner, Will do, but my job at the moment is a nightmare and times a premium. Leave it with me and I will sort it.
Thanks Paul -----Original Message----- From: Werner Guttmann [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 08 April 2010 07:51 Cc: [email protected]; Paul French Subject: Re: [castor-user] Setting Class Loader for the marshaller/unmarshaller Paul, why don't you check out sources from SVN, and add the following method to XMLContext /** * Sets a custom {...@link ClassLoader} to be used for loading classes. * @param classLoader A custom {...@link ClassLoader}. */ public void setClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader) { this._internalContext.setClassLoader(classLoader); } and check whether this solves your problem ? Of course the folks over at Spring (OXM) will need to expose this setter as well, but that#s to be dealt with at a later time. Regards Werner PS Please do not forget to create a Jira issue to track this work. On 07.04.2010 14:56, Werner Guttmann wrote: > Please do so ...
