[udig-devel] ServiceExtension loader

[Justin Deoliveira <jdeolive@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

David,

In ServiceFactory#aquire(), the extensions of ServiceExtension are 
loaded. Here is the code that creates the extensions

String className = element.getAttribute("class");

Class servExtClass = getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass(className);
ServiceExtension se = (ServiceExtension)servExtClass.getConstructor(new 
Class[0]).newInstance(new Object[0]);

My extension is in a different plugin so it wont work for me. I changed 
the above to:

ServiceExtension se  = 
(ServiceExtension)element.createExecutableExtension("class");

And it works.

Justin
