Subject:  NEJUG Meeting: Do you really get classloaders? - Thu, Oct 10
From;     Mark Johnson


Topic: Do you really get classloaders?
Presenter: Adam Koblentz
Location: Constant Contact


Presentation Overview:
Class loaders are at the core of the Java language. Java EE containers, OSGi, NetBeans modules, Tapestry 5, Grails and many others use class loaders heavily. Yet when something goes wrong, would you know how to solve it? In this session we will take a tour of the Java class loading mechanism, both from JVM and developer point of view. We will look at typical problems that you get with class loading and how to solve them. ClassNoDefError, IncompatibleClassChangeError, LinkageError and many others are symptoms of specific things going wrong that you can usually find and fix. For each problem we'll go through a hands on demo with a corresponding solution. Why is this important? Understanding the core of the JVM is critical to any Java developer so they understand how their java applications run and how that can differ in web application examples. This session will also help developers in the debugging of classpath issues and exceptions relating to classloader issues.
