[jira] [Commented] (CONFIGURATION-511) ConfigurationUtils cannot locate classpath file when current Thread is RMI

["Oliver Heger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONFIGURATION-511?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13502277#comment-13502277 ] 

Oliver Heger commented on CONFIGURATION-511:
--------------------------------------------

The whole location mechanism is currently pretty static. I would like to go for an approach where users can plug in their own specific search strategy. Actually, this is already possible using the FileSystem API. However, there is surely room for improvements to make this easier and more transparent.

>             Project: Commons Configuration
>          Issue Type: Bug
>    Affects Versions: 1.6, 1.8, 1.9
>            Reporter: Lorenz Schumann
>
> I noticed the problem when a registered MBean method is invoked over JMX (=RMI) and it calls ConfigurationUtils.locate("some.properties").
> The classloader is not able to find the resource then.
> A possible fix would be to change
> ClassLoader loader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
> to
> ClassLoader loader = ConfigurationUtils.class.getClassLoader();
> in method locateFromClasspath. But i am not sure what other Effects that would have since I have no insight into commons-configuration.
> Tested with 1.6, 1.8, 1.9.
