Hi, I'm having troubles with the way NonDelegatingClassLoader works inside a Jetty application.
Basically in BaseJPPFClientConnection the NonDelegatingClassLoader is constructed using as a parent the Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader(). In my particular scenario this turns out to be a WebAppClassLoader (jetty). The problem is that when BaseJPPFClientConnection.makeHelper tries to create a new instance of SerializationHelperImpl the classloader (NonDelegatingClassLoader) do not have any data to get LoggerFactory (dependency of SerializationHelperImpl) class and delegate to its parent (WebAppClassLoader) and this classloader also do not know about this class but do not delegate to its parent (Launcher$AppClassLoader) and so I get a NoClassDefFoundError.
How should I configure JPPF to avoid this situation?
Thanks...

Hello,

If the issue is that LoggerFactory is not found, then adding the SLF4J library to your web app's WEB-INF/lib should resolve the problem. The jar file slf4j-api-1.6.1.jar can be found in any JPPF client, server or node distribution for example.

Can you try this and let us know if it resolves the issue?

Thanks,
-Laurent

I was able to work-around the problem using: webappcontext.setParentLoaderPriority(true);
