I'm using jython2.5.1 in MATLAB's JVM. Upon trying to parse an XML file with ElementTree, XMLParser.__init__ tries to get XMLReaderFactory to find "org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser". Probably due to limitations in MATLAB's stupid classloader, this does not work (throws a SAXException/ClassNotFoundException) The only relevant comment on why this weird name is used is expat.py line 51: "Name mangled by jarjar?". Manually setting expat._xerces_parser to "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" resolves the issue. Perhaps a try block around the XMLReaderFactory call? |

Hmm, that's odd. If the classorg.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser is not found, then it should throw an ImportError. Please can you try these statements on a jython command line and report the results? >>> import org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser >>> import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser Thanks. |

Due to the way MATLAB manhandles its filehandles I can't use a real Jython prompt, but I can push to an InteractiveConsole just fine. Here are the results, plus the results with my workaround: >> ic = org.python.util.InteractiveConsole(); >> ic.push('import org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser'); >> ic.push('import org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser'); >> ic.push('import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree'); >> ic.push('x = etree.parse("test.xml")'); Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/amd/ss01/export/homes16/kwatford/TUF/jlib/jython-2.5.1.jar/Lib/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 862, in parse File "/amd/ss01/export/homes16/kwatford/TUF/jlib/jython-2.5.1.jar/Lib/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 581, in parse File "/amd/ss01/export/homes16/kwatford/TUF/jlib/jython-2.5.1.jar/Lib/xml/etree/ElementTree.py", line 1120, in __init__ File "/amd/ss01/export/homes16/kwatford/TUF/jlib/jython-2.5.1.jar/Lib/xml/parsers/expat.py", line 63, in ParserCreate File "/amd/ss01/export/homes16/kwatford/TUF/jlib/jython-2.5.1.jar/Lib/xml/parsers/expat.py", line 91, in __init__ at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.loadClass(Unknown Source) at org.xml.sax.helpers.XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) org.xml.sax.SAXException: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser >> ic.push('import xml.parsers.expat'); >> ic.push('xml.parsers.expat._xerces_parser = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"'); >> ic.push('x = etree.parse("test.xml")'); >> ic.push('print x'); <xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree instance at 0x2> |

Please can you do just this bit? >> ic.push('import org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser'); I want to see what it generates. It should generate an ImportError. |

As you can see, that's the first thing I did, and no exception was thrown. I just tried it again in a fresh session, and still no exception. They both import just fine. |

I'm not sure what to do about this problem. If >>> import org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser succeeds, then the class should be loadable. But an attempt to instantiate the class later fails with a java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser I can only recommend that you make use of the fix you have already identified, i.e. explicitly set the value of _xerces_parser. I don't see what benefit a try block around the XMLReaderFactory would bring? |

Any further information on this issue? Is it still happening on the latest MATLAB JVM> |

Just tested with 2.5.3b1 and MATLAB 2012a. Same behavior, same manual fix. |

Checking MATLAB docs, I see that they're using OpenJDK. Can you let us know which version you're using? The name mangling thing is because some JVMs include their own copy of Xerces, which conflicts with jython, whose code is written against a specific version of Xerces. The name mangling does indeed intentionally take place during the jython build process. |

Also, can you change the import in expat.py to read as follows, so if we can see if the try ... except ImportError is failing. try: raise ImportError # <--- add this # Name mangled by jarjar? import org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser _xerces_parser = "org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" except ImportError: _xerces_parser = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" |

Java version on the machine I'm currently on is: Java 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11M3527 with Apple Inc. Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM mixed mode I added the unconditional ImportError and it was, as one would expect, caught, resulting in the non-mangled name being used and everything working. I also tried instantiating the SAXParser via the org.python...SAXParser name. The import is clearly working as I'm able to do this from the Jython console without incident. I can also instantiate it via that name from the MATLAB console, so MATLAB also doesn't seem to mind it either. My guess is that the XMLReaderFactory mentioned in the stack trace is using a different classloader. Jython's classes are being loaded by whatever classloader MATLAB is using. So it's likely that either MATLAB isn't making its classloader sufficiently "default" or XMLReaderFactory is picking a specific classloader that isn't correct in the case. Here's my new fix. It goes in __init__. try: self._reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(_xerces_parser) except: self._reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser") I attempted to make the except block only catch the specific exception (a SAXException containing a ClassNotFoundException) but I was unable to catch it if I tried to do any class matching. I'm uncertain as to why, but I would guess it's more classloader issues. I was able to get the ClassNotFoundException's stacktrace, though, and I've attached it. |

> I added the unconditional ImportError and it was, as one would expect, > caught, resulting in the non-mangled name being used and everything working. AS I thought. Let's focus on trying to get the import working correctly. How about this? ####################### import java try: # Name mangled by jarjar? import org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser _xerces_parser = "org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" except ImportError: _xerces_parser = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" except java.lang.ClassDefNotFoundException: _xerces_parser = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser" ####################### We can tidy it up later if it works. |

Perhaps my explanation wasn't clear. There was no error or exception to catch at that time (other than the artificial one) because the class loaded and imported correctly. As far as Jython is concerned, there is no problem with that class. The exception occurs at a later time because a classloader external to Jython can't load it. The problem could be detected at import time, but only by attempting to use the XMLReaderFactory and catching the exception that it produces. |

Sorry, I wasn't clear myself. I understand that the XMLReader seems to be using a different classloader. As for your solution try: self._reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader(_xerces_parser) except: self._reader = XMLReaderFactory.createXMLReader("org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser") I'm glad that it works. However, I'd prefer not to use a bare except clause. I need to think about the appropriate solution to this. Thanks for taking the time to dig into it. |

Given the classloader issues, I think your solution is a good one. I'd prefer not to use the bare except clause. But if no other solution presents itself, I will commit your most recent fix as-is in the next few days. |
