>
> In J2EE environments, the Wink libraries may be managed by a different
> classloader (A) than the Application subclass (B). In these cases, (A) needs
> to load (B) by way of Class.forName(B). However, due to the J2EE
> environment, and classloader hierarchies, (A) does not have visibility into
> (B).
> The solution is to use the thread context classloader instead of
> Class.forName, which uses the system classloader. This "try thread context
> classloader first, then fallback to system classloader" functionality is
> built into org.apache.commons.lang.ClassUtils.getClass(String). We already
> have a dependency on Apache commons in wink-server, so I figure we can just
> use that.
