Class loader Exception

I am getting the following error even though the corresponding file is present in the app.jar.
This happens when hibernates are getting loaded , when i start the oracle app server.
Does anyone knows why its so.

Neither, not using Oracle HTTP Server nor using JDK 1.4 incluence the behaviour of OC4J. It is your application deployment. As it should be with every Java EE server you provide an EAR file structure with modules like WAR files or EJB jar files. Each of these modules has more or less its own class loading environment.
OC4J however supports application and global shared libraries. Application shared libraries can be packaged in the EAR file using the Java EE 5 library mechanism. In essence your libraries must be known by the class loader of the Java EE module otherwise your application doesn't work.
What I need to know is what type of application (WAR, EJB, combo of both) you're using and how the files are laid out in the directory structure.

Class loading exceptions while importing Spring, EHCache in BPMStudio 10g

Hi,
We are facing Class loading / Class NOt Found exceptions while importing Spring.jar and EHCache.jar in BPMStudio 10g Catalog and BPM Enterprise Server 10g. Java classes are bundled in an external JAR file. This JAR is referencing Spring and EHCache library. This Java component is invoked from an automatic activity in BPM process. Task execution is failing in BPM workspace in Studio and Enterprise server.
We tried copying the JARS in the following folders. But nothing is working.
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\lib
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\ext
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\webapps\workspace\WEB-INF\lib
D:\OraBPMStudioHome\webapps\workspace\WEB-INF\classes
<Enterprise_Server_WL_Home>/server/<Domain_Lib>

Ariel,
You are right. I have already added the JARS as external resource. I am getting the errors while cataloging Java component in BPM Studio in a Catalog Module. I am able to add Log4J Jar as an external resource and catalog the resource as java component. In case one JAR has a dependency on another JAR it is failing to catalog. In Eclipse or Weblogic Workshop 10g, we can add multiple JARS in the Project classpath and it works fine. In case of BPM Studio, we are getting Class Loading or ClassNotFound errors while cataloging multiple JAR files
Thanks

Class loader exception in JBoss3.2

hi,
i am currently working with the JSF technology. I am able to create the .ear file and able to run the application. But some times the classloader exception is comming in the log, the actual error is:
"No ClassLoaders found for: com.hds.hifire.web.beans.UserFormBean"
please help me in this regard , where should i look into.
Thanks,

user469244,
I assume you are referring to Oracle's JDBC driver. I am unfamiliar with the "oracle.jar" file. I use the "ojdbc14.jar" file and it does contain the "oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError" class. What is this "oracle.jar" file you mention?
Perhaps you could post the entire error message (and stack trace) you are getting, as well as the section of your code that is causing the error?
Good Luck,
Avi.

Class loading exception?

Hi, I'm getting the following error message when I'm trying to cast an object.
java.lang.ClassCastException: [Lorg.openadaptor.dataobjects.SimpleDataObject; cannot be cast to org.openadaptor.dataobjects.SimpleDataObject
In my mind they are the same object, and I only have one jar referenced that supplied this object. What I want to know is what the 'L' means in front of the class name?
Thanks,
David

Thanks. I can't believe I didn't know that! Well, you live and learn

(Class cast Exception)Problem while loading data fro database in java class

Dear all,
Please help me...to solve this
I have a database having two columns of String and Date Types.
In my java code i was trying to load the data to a UI.
I am successfull in loading the String type value.
But while loading date field value,is showing Class cast Exception.
What i am doing is Getting the values from database to a String[] array.
So my question is how to
get the Date field as date field itself,Then convert it to a String..Then put it in to String[] array...
Any body please help...If any one want more clarification in question i will give......

Hi,
I am using GWT to display my data in a Grid.
So it will accept a Single two dimensional String array....Here i have one as String and other as Date.
So i was trying to get each row in a sindle dimensional array array[] then store it in a list.
Iteration goes up to 10 rows.After i am setting it in to a list
ie list.add(array);
Now while returning this list i am doing this
"return (String[][])list.toArray(new String[0][]);"
When i tried to get the date element to String array it is showing class cast exception. When i tried with toString() method it is showing the same problem.

Detecting when exception was thrown using custom class loader

Hello all,
I would like to implement the solution described here - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/75218/how-can-i-detect-when-an-exceptions-been-thrown-globally-in-java - that uses custom class loader in order to detect when an Exeption thrown somewhere in the JVM hosting my app, please note that exceptions might be thrown from 3rd party jars the app is using. So, thanks to help I got from another post, I've managed to code the custom class loader. My question is how can the class loader wrap the original exception, as the methods in ClassLoader deals with classes, not instances. So where should I set the original exception?
Thanks!

I think I'm missing something fundumental, forgive me for being slow...
This is what I did so far. For the exception wrapper I made a simple class extens Exception that recieve Exception in its ctor and store it. I also subclassed ClassLoader and override its loadClass(). I've registered it as the system classloader. My thinking was to check in that point that if the requested class is instance of Exception and if yes, returning my wrapper class wrapping this exception. But, since loadClass() return class, how can I set in the wrapper the original exception?
In addition, let's say 2 different places in the code throws NPE, to my understanding the classloader will load NPE only once, so how throwing the NPE in the second time can be detected?you are missing a key point. you should creating a custom implementation of the NPE class which hooks into your detection code in its constructor. from that point forward, anytime any NPE (which is your custom class) is constructed, you can detect it.

How to recover from an exception on a class loaded with a classloader?

I have created a classloader for the purpose of dynamically loading "modules" . The whole application is multithreaded and the separate modules may also run as separate threads. The problem that I am facing is that if one of the modules crashes (does not handle an exception), then the class loader object which loaded the required classes and started the module's thread, cannot be accessed. The thread which attempts to access this class loader freezes. Is there any way to recover from this situation?
Thanks in advance

Ok, let me provide a bit more information. Each "module" is handled by specific class (let's call it ModuleDescriptor), which subclasses the URLClassLoader class. The ModuleDescriptor class is responsible for describing each module, maintain module state information (loaded, unloaded, started, stopped, etc) and also executing some method calls on a specific object of the module, which in essence acts as a means to start or stop the module. Each module is a separate thread and is packaged in a JAR file, which is first downloaded locally. If one of these module threads crashes, then I cannot even call a method of the ModuleDescriptor to perform the necessary unloading bit. Basically, when I can the method that thread of execution halts without an exception or an error or anything. The rest of the application continues working properly (other threads). I find this situation bizarre, because the ModuleDescriptor object and the actual module with the thread that crashed execute on separate threads. If there is any more specific information that I have to provide, please let me know.

How to load a class dynamically in the current/system class loader

I need to dynamically load a new jdbc driver jar to the current/system class loader... Please note that creating a new classloader will not help since the DriverManager refers to the systemclassloader itself.
Restarting the application by appending the jar to its classpath will solve the problem but I want to avoid doing this.

Did you then create a ClassLoader to load the JDBC
driver and then install it into the system as
directed by the JDBC specification (ie
Class.forName(someClassName))?
And then try to use it from a class loaded fromsome
other ClassLoader (i.e. the system class loader)?
If you did not try this please explain why not.O.K. I just looked at the source to
java.sql.DriverManager. I did not know what I was
talking about, as what I suggested above will not
work.
This is my new Idea:
Create a URLClassLoader to load the JDBC driver also
in this ClassLoader you need to place a helper class
that does the following:
public class Helper {
public Driver getJDBCDriver(String driverClassName,
String url) {
try {
Class.forName(driverClassName);
Driver d = DriverManager.getDriver(url);
return d;
catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
return null;
}Now create an instance of the Helper class in the new
ClassLoader, and call its getJDBCDriver method to get
an instance of the driver (you will probably have to
create an interface in the root class loader that the
Helper implements so that you can easily call it).
Now from the root classloader you can make calls
directly to the returned Driver and bypass the
DriverManager and its restrictions on cross
ClassLoader access.
The only catch here is that you would have to call to
the returned Driver directly and not use the Driver
Manager.This sounds like will work but I did not want to load DriverManager in a new classloader.. I did a hack
I unzip the jar dynamically in a previously known location (which I included in my classpath when launching the app). The classLoader finds the class now though it did not exist when the app was launched !
A hack of-course but works eh ..

How can I make server use single class loader for several applications

I have several web/ejb applications. These applications use some common libraries and should share instances of classes from those libraries.
But applications are being deployed independently thus packaging all them to EAR is not acceptable.
I suppose the problem is that each application uses separate class loader.
How can I make AS use single class loader for a set of applications?
Different applications depend on different libraries so I need a way that will not share library for all applications on the domain but only for some exact applications.
When I placed common jar to *%domain%/lib* - all works. But that jar is shared between all applications on the domain.
When I tried to place common jar to *%domain%/lib/applibs* and specified --libraries* attribute on deploying I got exception
java.lang.ClassCastException: a.FirstDao cannot be cast to a.FirstDaoHere http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E19879-01/820-4336/6nfqd2b1t/index.html I read:
If multiple applications or modules refer to the same libraries, classes in those libraries are automatically shared.
This can reduce the memory footprint and allow sharing of static information.Does it mean that classes should be able to be casted ?

You didn't specify which version of the application server you are using, but the config is similar as long as you know what to look for. Basically, you need to change the classloader delegation. Here's how it is done in 8.2

Dinamyc class loading and jar files

I'm new to java. I would like to load some plugins in my application (it's going to be packaged as a jar at the end). I managed to find some dinamyc class loading examples but they search for the classes to load in a directory.
This is the code:
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        File pluginDirectory = new File("src/pluginsreloaded/plugins");
        if (!pluginDirectory.exists()) {            // the plugin directory does not exist
            System.out.println("The plugins directory does not exist!");
            return;
        FilenameFilter filter = new FilenameFilter() {
            public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
                return name.endsWith(".class");
        String[] pluginFiles = pluginDirectory.list(filter);
        for (int i = 0; i < pluginFiles.length; i++) {
            if (pluginFiles.indexOf("$") == -1) {
System.out.println("Loading: " + pluginFiles[i].substring(0, pluginFiles[i].length() - 6));
IPlugin plugin = pm.loadPlugin(pluginFiles[i].substring(0, pluginFiles[i].length() - 6));
System.out.println(plugin.description());
protected static IPlugin loadPlugin(String name) {
        // Query the plugin list for the plugin
        PluginFactory _plugin = (PluginFactory) pluginList.get(name);
        if (_plugin == null) {          // the plugin is not loaded
            try {
                Class.forName("pluginsReloaded.plugins." + name);
                // The plugin makes an entry in the plugin list
                // when loaded
                _plugin = (PluginFactory) pluginList.get(name);
                if (_plugin == null) {
                    return null;
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                System.out.println("Plugin " + name + " not found!");
        return _plugin.create();
    }IPlugin is an interface. I am using netbeans 5.0. The error I get is this:

Thanks.

You can use the java.util.jar.JarFile class to enumerate the contents of a jar. It's not good practice to search for plugins in this way though. A plugin may well involve serveral classes, which don't all have to be internal. Furthermore its wise to avoid any comitment about the mechaism by which class files are to be fetched. You might want to do it remotely, some time, or load them from a database.
What seesms to be the standard approach is to put a list of plugin classes into the jar as a text file.
Plugins for a given purpose usually implement some specified interface, or extend some abstract class to which their objects can be cast once loaded (without this they aren't really much use).
Say your plugins implment org.myorg.WidgetFactory then you put a list of them, one fully qualified name to a line, in a file or jar entry called META-INF/services/org.myorg.WidgetFactory. You framework picks up all such files from the classpath using ClassLoader.getResources() and loads all the classes whose names if finds, hence you can add new sets of plugins just by adding a new jar or class directory to the class path.

Application Class Loader problem calling virtual function

Hello everyone
I have run in to very strange behavior of JVM
I have created a class loader which allows my to load classes from
jar file, regardless that URLClassLoader supplies this functionality.
I am using this class loader to load some classes and call their virtual functions. The class diagram looks like that:
public interface I {
   public void init();
public class AAA implements
   public void init(){
public class BBB extends AAA{
   public void init(){
      //here comes implementation
}Interface I and class AAA are loaded with System Class loader and Class BBB is loaded using my class loader from jar file.
ByteStreamClassLoader classLoader = new ByteStreamClassLoader ();
Class cl = classLoader. loadClass(�com.product.BBB�,true);
I myInterface = cl.newInstance();
myInterface.init();The problem is that from some unknown reason java class AAA.init() instead of BBB.init().
Can somebody help me what am I doing wrong?
Class Loader code attached below
public class ByteStreamClassLoader   extends ClassLoader {
    protected HashMap m_cache = new HashMap();
    public void clearCashe() {
      m_cache = new HashMap();
    private String definePackage(String className) {
      StringBuilder strB = new StringBuilder();
      //Class name must be removed from the URI in order to define a package
      String[] packageArray = className.split("\\.");
      for (int i = 0; i < packageArray.length - 1; i++) {
        strB.append(packageArray).append(".");
String packageName = strB.toString();
packageName = packageName.substring(0, packageName.length() - 1);
if (getPackage(packageName) == null) {
m_logger.log(Level.FINEST, "Defining package '" + packageName + "'");
definePackage(packageName, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
return packageName;

I have run in to very strange behavior of JVM
I have created a class loader which allows my to load classes from
jar file, regardless that URLClassLoader supplies this functionality.
I am using this class loader to load some classes and call their virtual functions. The class diagram looks like that:
public interface I {
   public void init();
public class AAA implements
   public void init(){
public class BBB extends AAA{
   public void init(){
      //here comes implementation
}Interface I and class AAA are loaded with System Class loader and Class BBB is loaded using my class loader from jar file.
ByteStreamClassLoader classLoader = new ByteStreamClassLoader ();
Class cl = classLoader. loadClass(�com.product.BBB�,true);
I myInterface = cl.newInstance();
myInterface.init();The problem is that from some unknown reason java class AAA.init() instead of BBB.init().
Can somebody help me what am I doing wrong?
Class Loader code attached below
public class ByteStreamClassLoader   extends ClassLoader {
    protected HashMap m_cache = new HashMap();
    public void clearCashe() {
      m_cache = new HashMap();
    private String definePackage(String className) {
      StringBuilder strB = new StringBuilder();
      //Class name must be removed from the URI in order to define a package
      String[] packageArray = className.split("\\.");
      for (int i = 0; i < packageArray.length - 1; i++) {
        strB.append(packageArray).append(".");
String packageName = strB.toString();
packageName = packageName.substring(0, packageName.length() - 1);
if (getPackage(packageName) == null) {
m_logger.log(Level.FINEST, "Defining package '" + packageName + "'");
definePackage(packageName, null, null, null, null, null, null, null);
return packageName;
public synchronized Class loadClass(String name, boolean resolve) throws
ClassNotFoundException {
name = name.replaceAll("/", ".").replaceAll(".class", "");
//Try to locate the Class in cashe
Class c = (Class) m_cache.get(name);
//Try to locate the Class in the System Class Loader
if (c == null) {
try {
c = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader().loadClass(name);
catch (Exception ex) {}
else {
m_logger.log(Level.FINEST, "Class '" + name + "' found in cache");
//Load the class from byte array
if (c == null) {
String resourceName = name;
if (!resourceName.endsWith(".class")) {
resourceName = resourceName.concat(".class");
//Retrieve class byte representation
if (resourceName.indexOf(".") != -1) {
resourceName =
resourceName.replaceAll("\\.", "/").replaceAll("/class", ".class");
//Use the ByteStreamClassLoader to load the class from byte array
byte[] classByteArray = null;
try {
classByteArray = getResourceBytes(resourceName);
catch (IOException ex1) {
throw new ClassNotFoundException(
"Could not load class data." + ex1.getMessage());
m_logger.log(
Level.FINEST, "Loading class '" +
name + "' Byte Length: " + classByteArray.length);
String p = definePackage(name);
c = defineClass(
name,
classByteArray,
0,
classByteArray.length,
ByteStreamClassLoader.class.getProtectionDomain());
m_cache.put(name, c);
if (resolve) {
resolveClass(c);
return c;

--------------------------------------------please help me trace my mistake.
thank you all.

i think the problem that i have set a particular class path for my class files and my application loads files from that alone.
So plz tell me if theres any way to access the class path of a particular file dynamically?

Any idea
Thanks,

You should use prefer-application-packages when there is any conflict of classes specifically when the same class is being loaded by weblogic server.
When your using prefer-application-packages you should always set prefer-web-inf-classes to false.
This is documented please check following docs.

Dynamic class loading problem using unknown JAR archive and directory names

I read the following article, which enlightened me a lot:
Ted Neward: Understanding Class.forName().
However, it took me some while to understand that my problem is the other way around:
I know the name of the class, I know the name of the method,
but my program/JVM does not know where to load the classes from.
Shortly, my problem is that the server engine that I am writing
uses two different versions of the same library.
So I am trying out the following solution:
My program is named TestClassPathMain.java
Assume the two libraries are named JAR1.jar and JAR2.jar
and the class/instance method that should
be exposed to TestClassPathMain.java by them is named
TestClass1.testMethod().
As long as I was depending on just one library,
I put JAR1.jar in the classpath before starting java,
and I was happy for a while.
At the moment I got the need to use another version of
TestClass1.testMethod() packaged in JAR2.jar,
a call would always access JAR1.jar's
TestClass1.testMethod().
I then decided to remove JAR1.jar from the classpath,
and programmatically define two separate ClassLoaders, one for use
with JAR1.jar and the other for use with JAR2.jar.
However, the problem is only partly solved.
Please refer to the enclosed code for details.
(The code in the JAR1.jar/JAR2.jar is extremely simple,
it just tells (by hardcoding) the name of the jar it is packaged in
and instantiates another class packaged in the same jar using
the "new" operator and calls a method on it. I don't enclose it.)
The TestClassPathMain.java/UC1.java/UC2.java code suite was
successfully compiled with an arbitrary of JAR1 or JAR2 in the classpath,
however removed from the classpath at runtime.
(I know that this could have been done (more elegantly...?) by producing an Interface,
but I think the main problem principle is still untouched by this potential lack of elegancy(?))
1) This problem should not be unknown to you experts out there,
how is it generally and/or most elegantly solved?
The "*** UC2: Variant 2" is the solution I would like best, had it only worked.
2) And why arent "*** UC2: Variant 2" and
"*** static UC2: Variant 2" working,
while "*** Main: Variant 2" is?
3) And a mal-apropos:
Why can't I catch the NoClassDefFoundError?
The output:

2. i need to load the class to the same JVM (i.e. to
the same environment) of the current running
aplication, so that when the loaded class is run, it
would be able to invoke methods on it!!!
ClassLoader(s) do this. Try the URLClassLoader.
(I was talking about relatively esoteric "security"
issues when I mentioned the stuff about Class objects
"scope".) You might use the URLClassLoader kind of
like this.
Pseudo-code follows:
// setup the class loader
URL[] urls = new URL[1];
urls[0] = new URL("/path/to/dynamic/classes");
URLClassLoader ucl = new URLClassLoader(urls);
// load a class & use make an object with the default constructor
Object tmp = ucl.loadClass("dynamic.class.name").newInstance();
// Cast the object to a know interface so that you can use it.
// This may be used to further determine which interface to cast
// the class to. Or it may simply be the interface to which all
