ClassNotFoundException when loading transpiled model

[ahmed-shariff]

I get the following error when I try to load the transpiled models:

I tried the following:

              // ============approach 1===============
               Evaluator evaluator = new ServiceLoadingModelEvaluatorBuilder()
            .loadService((f.toURI()).toURL())
            .build();
              // ============approach 2===============
               URL[] classpath = {
            (f.toURI()).toURL()
        };
        try(URLClassLoader clazzLoader = new URLClassLoader(classpath)){
            PMML javaPmml = PMMLUtil.load(clazzLoader);
            Evaluator evaluator = new ModelEvaluatorBuilder(javaPmml)
                .build();
                }

I've attached the associated jar file for your reference. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated.

That must be a classpath issue on your side.

The generated Service JAR file is not completely self-contained; it depends on the JPMML-Evaluator library, which in turn depends on the JPMML-Model library.

The org.dmg.pmml.PMML class resides inside the JPMML-Model library JAR file (Apache Maven coordinates org.jpmml:pmml-model). Please make sure that this artifact is on your application classpath.

You were right, I added the PMML classes ClassLoader as the parent to the URLClassLoader, and it solves the problem:

...
try(URLClassLoader clazzLoader = new URLClassLoader(classpath, PMML.class.getClassLoader())){
