Reason for the class loader change

[Denis Weerasiri <dd...@gmail.com>]

I'm reviewing this method org.apache.ode.il.dbutil.Database#lookupInJndi .
I'm wondering why this class loader change comes in to place. Can someone
explain?

    @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
    public <T> T lookupInJndi(String objName) throws Exception {
        ClassLoader old = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(getClass().getClassLoader());
        ...
        ...

        finally {
            Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(old);
        }
    }

Thanks,
Denis
