Description

There is a problem with the hidden-classes element not
working for asm classes. The reason was the optimized class loading
mechanism which does not check if the classes are hidden before the
code block given below

//
// No dice, let's offer the primordial loader a shot...
//
try

{ return resolveClass(findSystemClass(name), resolve); }

catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe)

{ // ignore...just being a good citizen. }

I was able to get this to work by reverting to the safe method of
finding classes via the system property
-DXorg.apache.geronimo.kernel.config.MPCLSearchOption=safe
