一个ClassCastException引发的思考

一个ClassCastException引发的思考，在做一个简单的功能试验时，代码抛出了下面的异常

明明类的完全限定名是一样的，竟然会转换失败。。。

完整的项目代码如下所示

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;

import javax.servlet.ServletException;
import javax.servlet.http.Cookie;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpSession;

import org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request;
import org.eclipse.jetty.server.SessionManager;

public class SessionTestServlet extends HttpServlet {

    Map<String, HttpSession> allSessions = new HashMap<String, HttpSession>();

    @Override
    public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
        HttpSession session = request.getSession(true);
        if (request instanceof org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request) {
            Request req = (Request) request;
            SessionManager sessionManager = req.getSessionManager();
            System.out.println("session manager:" + sessionManager.getClass().getName());
        }

        System.out.println("request class:" + request.getClass().getName());
        System.out.println("response class:" + response.getClass().getName());
        System.out.println("session class:" + session.getClass().getName());

        if (null != session) {
            System.out.println(session.getId());
            if (!allSessions.containsKey(session.getId())) {
                allSessions.put(session.getId(), session);
            } else {
                HttpSession existSession = allSessions.get(session.getId());
                System.out.println(session == existSession);
            }
        }
        session.setAttribute("testSetting", "value");
        Cookie[] cookies = request.getCookies();
        for (Cookie cookie : cookies) {
            System.out.println(cookie.getName() + ":" + cookie.getValue());
        }
    }
}

项目背景：maven项目，使用eclipse IDE来做的开发，在pom中配置的jetty来作为服务器运行项目

               < plugin >

                       < groupId  > org.mortbay.jetty  </ groupId >

                       < artifactId  > jetty-maven- plugin </  artifactId >

                       < version  > 8.1.4.v20120524  </ version >

                       < configuration  >

                             < webAppConfig  >

                                  < contextPath  > /${project.artifactId}  </ contextPath >

                             </ webAppConfig >

                             < connectors  >

                                  < connector  implementation = "org.eclipse.jetty.server.bio.SocketConnector"  >

                                       < port  > 8097  </ port >

                                       < maxIdleTime  > 60000  </ maxIdleTime >

                                  </ connector >

                             </ connectors >

                            < scanIntervalSeconds  > 10  </ scanIntervalSeconds >

                       </ configuration >

                  </ plugin >

运行方式：直接通过eclipse来运行jetty，启动项目

有请求到达时程序的输出如下

request class:org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request

response class:org.eclipse.jetty.server.Response

session class:org.eclipse.jetty.server.session.HashedSession

问题：从程序的输出来看，request对象其实是一个 org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request实例，但这里的这个if语句条件 if (request instanceof org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request) ，判断结果为false。这里的原因是什么？

这里涉及到类加载的一些内容，大致可以解释为，我们使用 org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request类时，项目加载这个类使用的ClassLoader和加载request、response所属的类对象的ClassLoader不是同一个。不同的ClassLoader加载的类之间，是不能进行转换的。所以这里的if语句条件判断为false。

下面是修改了输出代码，以及某次运行过程中的输出结果

       System.  out .println( "org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request,loaded by "

                + org.eclipse.jetty.server.Request.  class .getClassLoader());

        System.  out .println( "request class:"  + request.getClass().getName () +  ",loaded by "

                + request.getClass().getClassLoader());

        System.  out .println( "response class:"  + response.getClass().getName () +  ",loaded by "

                + response.getClass().getClassLoader());

        System.  out .println( "session class:"  + session.getClass().getName () +  ",loaded by "

                + session.getClass().getClassLoader());
