Description Rick Barkhouse CLA 2011-07-04 15:04:38 EDT 
Due to a classloader issue, a ClassCastException may be encountered when using Dynamic JAXB on Glassfish (or other server environment).

When OXMJavaModelImpl tries looking up a class to see if it exists yet (to see if it needs to create a dynamic type), we do a standard Class.forName check.  However we must pass in the user's classloader, or we may not find the concrete class even if it exists.
