META-INF resource lookup in OSGi environment
--------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-2548
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2548
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: General
Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2
Reporter: Jarek Gawor
MyFaces uses context class loader to lookup META-INF resources. This works fine
in a regular Java environment but breaks in OSGi. One easy solution for this
would be to first ask the CCL for the resource and if none is found ask the
surrounding class class loader for that resource (assuming the resource we are
looking for lives in the same jar as the class loading it), i.e.:
URL foo = getContextClassLoader().getResource("META-INF/foo");
if (foo == null) {
foo = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("META-INF/foo");
}
There are a few places in MyFaces code that would need to be updated to use
this fallback approach. For example in IncludeHandler.java and
ErrorPageWriter.java.
I also noticed that for some reason the myfaces-dev-debug.xml and
myfaces-dev-error.xml live in the api module. They seem to be only used the
impl module so they shouldn't really be needed in the api module.
