Tomcat类装载的问题.

昨天发布一个web application的时候发现一个奇怪的问题, 明明jar包里面有的类说找不到, 真是奇怪. 不过要下班了. 明天再说吧.

上面的是异常的信息, 我明明把含有这个类的jar包放到了WEB-INF/lib下面. 怎么办,还能这么办, trace code. 
结果发现在了一个自定义的类装载器com.netsboss.util.proxy.ProxyClassLoader,他在构着函数里面没有传他的parent classloader(tomcat Webapp classloader)进去, 所以他的parent classloader是systemclassloader, 我想假如ProxyClassLoader的构着函数里面调用了super(ProxyClassLoader.class.getClassLoader());的话,
 应该能解决这个问题的. 我想这个就是这个java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError异常的原因吧.     

这里有篇介绍类装载的问题, 也介绍了Tomcat类装器的机制.

添加一些: 

这个是自定义的classloader, 他在构着函数里面没有传他的parent classloader(tomcat Webapp classloader)进去, 所以他的parent classloader是systemclassloader,

具体代码看java.lang.ClassLoader. 

    /**
     * Creates a new class loader using the specified parent class loader for
     * delegation.
     *
     *

     * SecurityManager#checkCreateClassLoader()
     * checkCreateClassLoader} method is invoked.  This may result in
     * a security exception.  

     *
     * @param  parent
     *         The parent class loader
     *
     * @throws  SecurityException
     *          If a security manager exists and its
     *          checkCreateClassLoader method doesn&apost allow creation
     *          of a new class loader.
     *
     * @since  1.2
     */
    protected ClassLoader(ClassLoader parent) {
 SecurityManager security = System.getSecurityManager();
 if (security != null) {
     security.checkCreateClassLoader();
 }
 this.parent = parent;
 initialized = true;
    }

    /**
     * Creates a new class loader using the ClassLoader returned by
     * the method {@link #getSystemClassLoader()
     * getSystemClassLoader()} as the parent class loader.
     *
     * 
 If there is a security manager, its {@link
     * SecurityManager#checkCreateClassLoader()
     * checkCreateClassLoader} method is invoked.  This may result in
     * a security exception.  

     *
     * @throws  SecurityException
     *          If a security manager existsand its

    protected ClassLoader() {

     security.checkCreateClassLoader();
 }
