[jira] Created: (BEEHIVE-1209) Change ClassLoader.loadClass() to 3 arg version of Class.forName() for Java 6

Change ClassLoader.loadClass() to 3 arg version of Class.forName() for Java 6
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BEEHIVE-1209
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1209
             Project: Beehive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Controls, NetUI
    Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1, 1.0
            Reporter: Carlin Rogers
             Fix For: V.Next


With Java 6, the calls to ClassLoader.loadClass() for array types will fail with a ClassNotFoundException. Sun "highly" recommends that

    classLoader.loadClass(className)

be replaced with

    Class.forName(className, false, classLoader)

The issue is described in...
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6500212 
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6434149

Basically, ClassLoader.loadClass() is fine for plain classes (which is most of the cases in Beehive that I looked at), not for arrays etc. However, based on the recommendation from Sun, I can go through the code and just make changes to use Class.forName()
