> The current version of LogFactoryImpl in svn requires that there be a
> parent-child relationship between the thread context classloader and the
> classloader that loaded LogFactoryImpl.  The standard classloading architecture
> used in JBoss (see below) violates this constraint; as a result JBoss will not
> start if a version of JCL built from svn is used.
> The attached patch relaxes this constraint by attempting to load Log adapters
> starting with the thread context classloader if the two classloaders are not in
> a parent child relationship.  The behavior change only applies if the user has
> not set the ALLOW_FLAWED_CONTEXT_PROPERTY to true.
> Background: The JBoss classloading architecture includes something called the
> UnifiedLoaderRepository.  Basically, when JBoss classloaders are asked to load a
> class they first look to the ULR to see if the class has already been loaded. 
> If it has, they return that class.  If not, normal Java classloading occurs, but
> once the class is loaded, it is registered with the ULR.
> This setup allows classloaders to see classes loaded by "non-parent"
> classloaders, e.g. siblings, cousins etc. (BTW, ULRs can be scoped, allowing,
> for example, a J2EE EAR to isolate its classes from other deployed applications).
> JBoss loads JCL using a classloader that is not the parent of the classloaders
> used by a number of JBoss services and by deployed applications.  So, if JCL
> forbids classloading relationships other than parent-child, JBoss will not start
> properly.
