The code there tries
a) per-webapp configuration (aka per-classloader configuration)
which is given by classLoader.getResourceAsStream("logging.properties")
b) global configuration, which is specified by
System.getProperty("java.util.logging.config.file") setting.
That is the fragment that you cited.
c) asks parent classloader
Note that c) also happens in different places like in getProperty(String).
The condition in b) that you are asking about is needed for c) to
work. That is, the global configuration is read only by the top
classloader in the chain. If you change that, there will be several
copies of configuration, such as several Loggers writing to the same
file in parallel.
It seems that there is assumption that the root of classloaders chain
is the system classloader. Is that not true for you?
I should also note that "getClassLoaderInfo(current)" during c)
results in readConfiguration( ) call for that parent classloader, and
"getClassLoaderInfo(null)" would read the one for the system
classloader. So maybe one has to add such call to the loop in c)
instead of fixing the condition in b), but I cannot say without
looking how this configuration is used in other methods.
