Hi Elliot

You could try using 'Repository.loadClass' to load a class (which should use your existing class loading hierarchy) this will produce a 'JavaClass' object from which you will be able to create a 'ClassGen' to get a 'MethodGen', or create a 'MethodGen' from the 'Method' (JavaClass.getMethods() then search for name or signature) your concerned with. From there 'MethodGen' has a method 'getExceptions()' which returns an array of Strings for the exception names. I think Repository uses the normal java class loading mechanisms so if these were causing your troubles this may still be the case if so have a look at the interface 'org.apache.bcel.util.Repository' implementations of which allow you to specify a classloader or generally have other options.

Hope this helps

I have an InstructionHandle containing an InvokeVirtual

declared exceptions thrown by the virtual method
invocation.  I have tried the following:

1. Get the InvokeVirtual instruction from handle
2. Get the ReferenceType from the instruction
3. Cast the ReferenceType to an ObjectType when safe to
do so.
4. Get the class name from the ObjectType
5. Get the Class object from the class name via
Class.forName(className)
6. Get an array of methods for the Class
7. Get the method name from the InvokeVirtual instruction
8. Find the java.lang.reflect.Method in the array with
the given name
9. Get an array of exception Classes from the method

This should be sufficient, but in the environment that I
am working in, there are multiple class loaders and the
class lookup (Class.forName) is failing.  Does anyone
know how to do something equivalent in BCEL alone without
requiring the use of Java reflection or class lookups?

Thanks,
Elliot
