exception with dynamic class loading [message #39272]

Hi,

I got a ClassNotFoundException when running the profiler on code
containing dynamic invocation of classes from external jar files, (see
stacktrace below).

The same code runs fine under both run and debug perspectives.

Adding the jar file containing the class to the build path fixed the
problem.

Is this a known bug?

Yours,

Mark

Hello Mark,

How were you profiling your application? As a "Java Application" (i.e. A
java project in your workspace) or as an "External Java Application"? And
I'm a little confused about:

> Adding the jar file containing the class to the build path fixed the

How is a run/debug launch configuration item able to resolve your class if
you didn't have your jar in your build path in the first place? Providing
us with more details will help us determine whether this is a bug.

Thanks.

Hi Ali,

Yes I am profiling the code as a straight "java application".

I use dynamic class loading to load a particular JDBC driver (see code
below) based on values from a properties file.

The jars containing the particular drivers (from the different database
vendors) are in the runtime classpath (not the build-path).

The code runs fine under run and debug configurations, but under the
profile configuration it returns a ClassDefNotFound exception for the
driver implementation.

When I put the jar files containing the jdbc drivers into the build path,
the profiler runs without raising an exception.

Thanks for your help,

Mark

// load the database connection properties from a file
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filename);
Properties dbProps = new Properties();
dbProps.load(in);
in.close();

// start database connection ....
Class.forName(dbProps.getProperty("jdbcDriver"));
Connection con =
DriverManager.getConnection(dbProps.getProperty("dbURL"));
