thirdparty classloader can't find loaded classes by phoenix launcher

[Korosh Afshar <ko...@pinksheets.com>]

I am creating a component wrapper around a third-party product to be
able to deploy it onto Phoenix.

This product has its own Launcher that loads its classes because it is
using some sort of obfuscation and decryption scheme since it is a
licensed proprietery product.


I create the wrapper to initilize the product and expose some of its
interfaces, I then try to deploy onto Phoenix.

This results in ClassNotFoundException, where thirdparty product
application launcher thread is not able to locate any of my application
classes.

here is the hierarchy of the SAR file:

MyApp.sar
	|--SAR/lib/myclasses.jar
	|--SAR/lib/thirdparty.jar
	|--SAR/lib/someotherstuff.jar
	|--SAR/assembly.xml
	|--SAR/environment.xml
	|--SAR/config.xml

so the ThirdPartyAppLauncher is inside thirdparty.jar

the ClassNotFoundExcpetion is from the loader thread of
ThirdPartyAppLauncher  not finding a class in  myclasses.jar


There is no problem when I don't use the framwork and just a regular
server application. In that scenario, I think(but not 100% sure)  that
all classes in myclasses.jar  are loaded using System classloader and
the thirdparty.jar classes are loaded using ThirdPartyAppLauncher
classloader thread.


I realize this is dev mailing list but I didn't get any response from
user mailing list when I posted an earlier classloader issue.


any ideas how I can get around this ??
