Hi,
in a library within a JBoss ESB archive or SAR archive, the following code is performed to find annotated classes:
ClassLoader cl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
URL[] urls = cl.getURLs();
The problem is that the urls array returned is always empty. I was expecting to have URLs of libraries packages in my ESB archive. (The code is executed within a library in the archive).
The same code executed within a Web application does not return an empty array.
Trying to find out what the problem was, i had a look the RepositoryClassLoader class that overrides the URLClassLoader getURLs method with:
public URL[] getURLs()
{
return EMPTY_URL_ARRAY;
}
I also noticed that JBoss has a WebClassLoader that overrides the getURLs() method with a totally different behaviour.
Would you know another way to find annotated classes in a ESB, SAR JBoss archive ?
Thanks in advance.
