Use of JDK 1.6 with TCK: ClassLoader.loadClass cannot load arrays in JDK 1.6
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: JDO-488
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JDO-488
Project: JDO
Issue Type: Bug
Components: tck2
Affects Versions: JDO 2 final
Environment: Use of JDK 1.6 when running TCK.
Reporter: David Ezzio


In JDK 1.5 and prior versions of Java 2, the name returned by Class.getName(
) could be used with ClassLoader.loadClass to load array types.  This behavi
or was considered a bug that has been fixed in JDK 1.6.  As a result, calls 
using encoded array names s
uch as "L[java.lang.Object;" now fail with a ClassNotFoundException.

See Sun's Java CR 6446627 (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/vie...6446
627) et alia.

The recommended practice (and the only available option in JDK 1.6) is to us
e Class.forName(name, verify, classloader) to load a class with a specific c
lass loader within the application.
