defineClass for ActiveJdbc Model throw exception

Question

When I try to connect my model class using defineClass (findClass URLClassLoader or self-realization ClassLoader), occurs exception.

Any other methods are being loaded my model, but do not allow dynamic overloading the classes.

@Table("accounts")
@BelongsToParents({
  @BelongsTo(parent = Customer.class, foreignKeyName = "Customer"),
  @BelongsTo(parent = Currency.class, foreignKeyName = "Currency")
})
public class Account extends Document{
  public static DocFields prepareDocument(...){

    ... fields = new ...(getTableName());
    ...
  }
...
}

public abstract class Document extends Model{
  public static DocFields prepareDocument(Session session){
    return null;
  }
  ...
}

public class DynCLoader extends ClassLoader {

  public DynCLoader(ClassLoader parentClass) {
    super(parentClass);
  }
  @Override
  public Class<?> loadClass(String className) throws ClassNotFoundException {
    if(StrFuncs.isEmpty(className)){
      throw new ClassNotFoundException("Ошибка в модуле DynCLoader, в функцие loadClass. Детали: className is empty");
    }
    try {
      ...
      if(...){ // Загрузка нового, неопределенного класса
        Class<?> clazz;
        try{
          String url = "file:"+...+".class";
          URL myUrl = new URL(url);
          URLConnection connection = myUrl.openConnection();
          InputStream input = connection.getInputStream();
          ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
          int data = input.read();
          while(data != -1){
              buffer.write(data);
              data = input.read();
          }
          input.close();
          byte[] classData = buffer.toByteArray();
          clazz = defineClass(className, classData, 0, classData.length);
          ...
          return clazz;
        }
        catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
          clazz = Class.forName(className);
          ...
          return clazz;
        }
        catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
          ...
          return null;
        }
        catch (Throwable ex) {
          try{
            clazz = Class.forName(className, true, this);
            return clazz;
          }
          catch(ClassNotFoundException oErr){
            ...
          }
          ...
          return null;
        }
      }
      else if(...) // Загрузка системного класса
        return Class.forName(className);
      else{
        return Class.forName(className, true, this);
      }
    }
    catch (ClassNotFoundException ex) {
      throw ex;
    }
  }
}

Answer 1

I changed getTableName in a MetaModels.java and it worked!

String getTableName(Class<? extends Model> modelClass) {
    MetaModel mm = null;
    for (Map.Entry<Class<? extends Model>, MetaModel> entry : metaModelsByClass.entrySet()){
      if(modelClass.getName().equals(entry.getKey().getName()))
        mm = entry.getValue();
    }
    return mm == null ? null : mm.getTableName();
}

Original function:

String getTableName(Class<? extends Model> modelClass) {
    MetaModel mm = metaModelsByClass.get(modelClass);
    return mm == null ? null : mm.getTableName();
}

I suggest not to use the class as a key or change the selection logic.

Answer 2

This was a small bug in the framework related to models loaded by a different class loader. The fix was provided by the requester, the issue was created: https://github.com/javalite/activejdbc/issues/570 and already solved.

You can pull the latest snapshot with the fix from: http://repo.javalite.io/org/javalite/activejdbc/2.0-SNAPSHOT/

thanks for contribution!
