Shawn Jiang commented on GERONIMO-5744: --------------------------------------- Since more an more 3rd app need to set this properties to work correctly. We need to set default "org.apache.geronimo.equinox.useURLClassLoader" system property to "true". the first step would to do a TCK with this option on. > bundle urls and 3rd party libraries > ----------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-5744 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-5744 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: deployment > Affects Versions: 3.0 > Reporter: Jarek Gawor > Attachments: GERONIMO-5744.patch > > > Resource lookup in Geronimo 3.0 returns "bundle" type of urls. However, a lot > of Geronimo code and a number of third party libraries assumes that urls > returned by resource lookup return "jar" or "file" type of urls. Because of > this difference a lot of applications might not work properly on Geronimo > 3.0. The Geronimo specific code has mostly been updated to use OSGi-friendly > ways to look for resources. However, we can't expect every 3rd party library > to be updated to be OSGi friendly. So we might need a solution that can > return "jar" or "file" urls that works with most libraries. > One possible solution is to use the BundleResourceClassLoader in the > xbean-bundleutils project (currently used in the OpenJPA plugin). That > solution could be enhanced with Equinox-specific extension (URLConverter > service) that can convert "bundle" urls directly into "jar" or "file" urls > (using the jars in its bundle cache). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
