  Tested on Mac OS X 10.9.1 and Oracle JVM 1.7.0_51 with Clojure 1.6 master SNAPSHOT

When a genclass'ed object is serialized and sent to a remote system, the remote system throws an exception loading the object:

Reproduce:

// build
git clone git://github.com/tyano/clojure_genclass_fix.git
cd clojure_genclass_fix
sh build.sh
// start rmiregistry
rmiregistry -J-Djava.rmi.server.useCodebaseOnly=false &
// start server
cd remoteserver
sh start.sh
// Start client
cd ../client
sh start.sh

Cause:

A gen-classed class (in this case, SampleInterfaceImpl.class) uses a static-initializer for loading SampleInterfaceImpl__init.class like:

static
  {
    RT.var("clojure.core", "load").invoke("/remoteserver/SampleInterfaceImpl");
  }

RT.load in default uses a context-classloader for loading __init.class but all classes depending on a gen-classed class must be loaded from the same classloader. In this case, RT.load must use a remote URLClassLoader which loads the main class.

Proposed:

Instead produce the equivalent of this in the static initializer:

static
  {
    Var.pushThreadBindings(RT.map(new Object[] { Compiler.LOADER, SampleInterfaceImpl.class.getClassLoader() }));
    try {
        RT.var("clojure.core", "load").invoke("/remoteserver/SampleInterfaceImpl");
    }
    finally 
    {
        Var.popThreadBindings();
    }
  }

With this code, RT.load will uses a same classloader which load SampleInterfaceImpl.class.
