Hi,

I just digged a little bit into the sources of package org.jboss.deployment.scanner and stumbled across the following lines of code in class URLDirectoryScanner which I don't understand:

Line 94-111:
 /**
 * @jmx:managed-attribute
 */
 public void addScanDir(String urlSpec, String compClassName, String filterClassName)
 throws MalformedURLException
 {

 URL url = toUrl(urlSpec);
 // create a new comparator
 Comparator comp = null;
 if (compClassName != null)
 {
 try
 {
 Class compClass = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("compClassName");
 comp = (Comparator)compClass.newInstance();
 } catch (Exception e)
 {
 log.warn("Unable to create instance of Comparator. Ignoring.", e);
 }
 }
