KP updated KAFKA-7346:
----------------------
Issue Type: Bug (was: Improvement)
> Cannot run Kafka Connect within a web application
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-7346
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-7346
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: KafkaConnect
> Affects Versions: 1.1.1
> Reporter: KP
> Priority: Major
>
> The Plugins class loads plugins using DelegatingClassLoader whose parent
> class loader is Application class loader.
> public DelegatingClassLoader(List<String> pluginPaths) {
> this(pluginPaths, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader()); //-> Application
> class loader
> }
> When running Kafka Connect within tomcat web applications,
> Plugins#pluginClass always throws ClassNotFoundException because
> "pluginClass" is loaded not by Application class loader but by
> ParallelWebAppClassLoader.
> protected static Class pluginClass(...){
> Class<?> klass = loader.loadClass(classOrAlias, false);
> if (pluginClass.isAssignableFrom(klass)) { // -> returns false
> return (Class<? extends U>) klass;
> }
> throw new ClassNotFoundException(...);
> }
>
> Here is the class loader hierarchy when using JsonConverter:
> Converter
> -ParallelWebAppClassLoader
> - URLClassLoader (parent)
> -Launcher$AppClassLoader (parent)
> JsonConverter
> -PluginClassLoader
> -DelegatingClassLoader(parent)
> -Launher$AppClassLoader
>
