Hi all, after I spent a good amount of time studying how Java class loaders works and are setup in OFBiz I realized that there was room for improving some old code and simplify it a lot by removing the old and custom CachedClassLoader that is created for each of the OFBiz web applications.
I am pretty confident that this change will work well and that will make the framework code that manages classloaders easier to read and maintain, and will also be a small step in the direction of making OFBiz easier to deploy on external application servers, with no penalties for performance. My preference would be to commit the code in the trunk (no API changes or other impact for the applications and external configuration) and then let you review my work. If, on the other hand, you prefer I submit a patch to Jira, I will be happy too. Please let me know. Jacopo
