Description Matt MacIvor CLA 2011-01-17 13:03:52 EST 
When processing classes loaded from a different ClassLoader than the one handed into JAXB, ClassNotFound exception can occur for any classes indirectly discovered during processing.

This includes, inner classes, property types and types found via XMLJavaTypeAdapter.

EclipseLink maintains a list of all classes passed in on a custom classloader so that they can be loaded again later if required. This list never gets updated when new classes are discovered, which will cause this issue to arise.
