I am running into problems when using Java from within IDL if the Java code requires a Classloader (for example obtained through the Java call Foo.class.getClassLoader()). This and similar code when executed through the IDL-Java bridge returns null. Is there a way to configure IDL, or the IDL-Java bridge, such that this call does not return null ? Btw, the Java code that requires this Classloader is not completely under my control. I am using Apache's XMLBeans libraries to assist in XML parsing, and inside that code they make the above call and assume/require a non-null classloader)
