Description

Two classes, in the Tiles core and api packages, load classes by name without specifying a classloader. This can cause issues when running in an OSGI environment.

The two classes we have found issues with are:
tiles-api/src/main/java/org/apache/tiles/reflect/ClassUtil.java
tiles-core/src/main/java/org/apache/tiles/context/ChainedTilesContextFactory.java

The attached patch has been applied to Tiles 2.1.2 and published to the SpringSource Enterprise Bundle Repository:
