--- Comment #8 from Mark Thomas <ma...@apache.org> ---
I have updated the summary to reflect our better understanding of this issue.
I have also moved this to an enhancement request.
This is really a case of what case(s) do we optimise for. The parameters in
play are:
- division of required classes between webapps, container and JRE
- how many times a request to load the same class will be made
- setting of delegate option
On top of this there are the spec mandated rules about class loading that we
have to follow.
I agree that the issues Konstatin raised in comment #7 makes a solution along
those lines unlikely to be practical.
I do come back to the idea of a cache. I am currently pondering the idea of a
cache that maps class name to class loader so that once a class has been loaded
(or a CNFE thrown) subsequent requests to load that class skip all the tests in
WebappClassLoader.loadClass() and go directly to the correct class loader (or
throw CNFE). I think I'll experiment along these lines and see what difference
it makes to this test case and to the start time of a complex application like
Jira.
