Well, why would the class loader in this case make a difference, unless you are in an OSGi environment? Remember that this isn't used to load application classes. Just Infinispan module classes. In this case the OSGi file lookup should be able to handle the appropriate loader for each bundle/module. Will need to make sure this works for JBoss AS 7 modules too. > > For example, I suspect that you won't be able to deploy an Hibernate > Search application (or Infinispan Query) and then deploy a Hibernate > OGM based application in the same container. > But this is not proven as I didn't try it out, so maybe my assumptions > about what the goal of this classloader parameter are wrong. Ah ok, I think I see your problem: that some infinispan modules are bundled with an application, using an application-scoped class loader (a web app)? Ok, I can see how that could be a problem then. > So I think that, iff we need to cache this information, it shouldn't > be cached in a static field, as discussed as well on Well, the purpose of caching this info is to prevent each new named Cache from re-reading module properties. Each named cache only reads these properties once at startup, so caching this is useless if this isn't shared across named caches. Or perhaps we maintain one such module cache per class loader passed in?
