>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-248
>             Project: Log4j 2
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>    Affects Versions: 2.0-beta5
>            Reporter: Tim Tucker
>            Priority: Minor
>
> I was experimenting with creating my own context listener based on Log4jContextListener and noticed that the call in getClassLoader to get the class's classloader was triggering a PMD warning.
> The rule's notes indicate that Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader() might return more reliable results than Object.class.getClassLoader().
> The code in question is as follows:
> try {
>     // if container is Servlet 3.0, use its getClassLoader method
>     return (ClassLoader)context.getClass().getMethod("getClassLoader").invoke(context);
> } catch (Exception ignore) {
>     // otherwise, use this class's class loader
>     return Log4jContextListener.class.getClassLoader();
> }
