I have no problem with my tile displaying, with or without the subview
tag. The problem is triggering the displaying of specific tiles by
action events. See previous post for further explanations.

And you should not use the subview tag :)

Classloading and simpleClassForName

[Ricardo Ramírez <rr...@itesm.mx>]

I am looking at the following method in the ClassUtils.java file:

    public static Class classForName(String type)
        throws ClassNotFoundException
    {
        if (type == null) throw new NullPointerException("type");
        try
        {
            // Try WebApp ClassLoader first
            return Class.forName(type,
                                 false, // do not initialize for faster startup
                                 Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
        }
        catch (ClassNotFoundException ignore)
        {
            // fallback: Try ClassLoader for ClassUtils (i.e. the myfaces.jar
lib)
            return Class.forName(type,
                                 false, // do not initialize for faster startup
                                 ClassUtils.class.getClassLoader());
        }
    }

I wonder if someone could explain me why it is done that way? (first the
current thread, then the classloader for classutil)

I am using Orion, somehow that doesn't work for me, I can initialize 1 web
application, however if I try to initialize a second one I get:
Class org.apache.myfaces.application.ActionListenerImpl is no javax.faces.event.ActionListener

After some debugging I checked and:

ClassLoader: [webapp1\classes, webapp1\lib\somejar] org.apache.myfaces.application.ActionListenerImpl

ClassLoader: [anotherapp2\classes, anotherpp2\lib\somejar] 
javax.faces.event.ActionListener

They are in different classloaders... that's why the "isAssignableFrom" method
returns false.

I don't know if this is a bug in orion server or in myfaces..... webapp1
and anotherapp2, both exist and are separate web modules, each with the myfaces
jars in the WEB-INF directory, if there is no special reason for loading
first the current thread then the classloader for ClassUtil I'll try chaning
the order.
