Need to load some class by bootstrap Classloader

I've the following scenario:

I've a byte[] that contains the .class data of a class (loaded from the file system)

And I have another byte[] of this some object of this class that was previously Serialized to some other stream.

First do load the byte[] of the .class file with my custom class loader which is:

public class MainSearchClassLoader extends ClassLoader
{

    public MainSearchClassLoader()
    {
        super(MainSearchClassLoader.class.getClassLoader());
    }

    public Class<?> findClass(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException
    {
        try
        {
            byte[] bytecode = FileUtil.readClassByteCode();
            return super.defineClass(ReflectionUtil.getStubBinaryClassName() , bytecode, 0, bytecode.length);
        } catch (IOException e)
        {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return null;
    }
}

Then I am trying to de-serialize this instance using the following code:

public static Object getObjectFromBytes(final byte[] bytes)
    {
        Object object = null;
        try
        {
            object = new ObjectInputStream(new ByteArrayInputStream(bytes)).readObject();
        } catch (final Exception ioe)
        {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
        }
        return object;
    }

That takes the serialized bytes and 开发者_开发问答supposed to return instance (of the pre-loaded class using my custom class loader) .. I got the following exception:

11/03/06 14:23:27 oracle.classloader.util.AnnotatedClassNotFoundException: 

      Missing class: mainSearchObjects.dc_index

    Dependent class: java.io.ObjectInputStream
             Loader: jre.bootstrap:1.5.0_06
        Code-Source: unknown
      Configuration: jre bootstrap

This load was initiated at MainSearch.web.MainSearch:0.0.0 using the Class.forName() method.

The missing class is not available from any code-source or loader in the system.

...........

I understood that.. The bootstrap class loader that is used by the de-serization code cannot see the class loaded by one of its children (my class loader) and I think this is a correct behaiour, isn't it?

So, Isn't a solution to this problem??

You need your own ObjectInputStream.
