[jira] Commented: (HARMONY-5477) [classlib][beans][geronimo] PropertyEditorManager.findEditor() used wrong classloader

["Vasily Zakharov (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HARMONY-5477?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12567098#action_12567098 ] 

Vasily Zakharov commented on HARMONY-5477:
------------------------------------------

PropertyEditorManager.findEditor() always uses the target class loader to locate the editor, while it should use thread context class loader when a particular editor is not found the the target class loader.

Here's the test demonstrating the problem:

{code:java}
import java.beans.*;
import java.net.*;

public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            PropertyEditorManager.setEditorSearchPath(new String[] { "myPackage" });
            ClassLoader editorLoader = new URLClassLoader(new URL[] { new URL("file:./editor/") });
            Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(editorLoader);
            PropertyEditor editor = PropertyEditorManager.findEditor(MyClass.class);

            if (editor == null) {
                System.out.println("FAIL: null");
            } else {
                String editorName = editor.getClass().getName();
                System.out.println(editorName.equals("myPackage.MyClassEditor") ? "SUCCESS" : ("FAIL: " + editorName));
            }
        } catch (Throwable e) {
            System.out.print("ERROR: ");
            e.printStackTrace(System.out);
        }
    }
}

class MyClass {
}
{code}

{code:java}
package myPackage;
public class MyClassEditor extends java.beans.PropertyEditorSupport {
}
{code}

Compiled {{MyClassEditor.class}} should be put to {{./editor/myPackage/MyClassEditor.class}} for the test to work.

Output on RI:

{code}SUCCESS{code}

Output on Harmony:

{code}FAIL: null{code}

The reason the test fails is the editor is available in other classloader than the original class. That classloader is preliminarily specified by {{Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader()}}, but Harmony implementation doesn't use it. To fix, the classloader handling mechanism in {{PropertyEditorManager.findEditor()}} needs to be changed.

This testcase was derived from {{org.apache.geronimo.common.propertyeditor.PropertyEditors.findEditor(String, ClassLoader)}} method.

This issue prevents Geronimo 2.1-snapshot from starting on Harmony.
