Hi!

see my previous discussion with Marc and Oleg. 

IMHO, a clean solution to the RMI bloat problem would be to build different
MarshalledInput/OutputStreams for non-dynamic classloading environments that
do not annotate classes (and do not call URLClassLoader.getUrls()) and to
have dynamic classloading streams that are taylored to our unified
deployment scenario (find out exactly which URL[1] belongs to a class
instead of prophylicatically sending all the classpath).

If I understood it right, Oleg has already some code in that respect and
wanted to
change that.

Betreff: [JBoss-dev] Removal of UnifiedClassLoader.getURLs override was
invalid



This change to UnifiedClassLoader:
"removed invalid getURLs() method.  Not sure why we want to return null
   for a URLClassLoader.  Comments suggested it was to avoid some RMI bloat,
   but code that expects a URLClassLoader will expect that this baby will
   return something valid.  It certainly won't expect a null.  If this
   behavior of masking the url list is trully desired, then return new
URL[0],
   but I suggest that is also invalid, since a URLClassLoader with no URLS
is
   a wasted object... what does one load from it... IMHO (ok not so humble)
   it is best not to obfuscate here."

breaks dynamic class loading and does cause bloat of serialized RMI objects
as well as MarshalledObjects. Do not rip out code you do not like unless you
really understand why it was there.
