inspired by ceki's examples, i've been working on an extended systematic analysis of the various classloader cases. there's demonstration code for them as well as documentation. it's not complete but most of the substantial cases address by ceki's document are covered. (the unconventional context classloader cases highlighted by simon are missing but they need a little more consideration.) i think that developers should find it interesting and maybe a little educational. it certainly help me think a lot more clearly about these issues.
my plan is to establish a baseline without fixing bugs so that theoretical optimum behaviour can be compared to where JCL is now. it includes configurations which cannot work in theory as well as those which can. i'm now trying to work out the best place and packaging for the source. in some ways, it's not really JCL source and so in some ways, it doesn't seem to belong in the JCL. on the other hand, i hope that it might be useful for JCL advanced users and developers.so, there a temptation to include it (perhaps within a subdirectory). opinions? - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
