I don't agree with you : findResources() is the method that a given ClassLoader can redefine to enumerate *its own resources*. getResources() aggreates the enumerations of all resources found in the classloader hierarchy. But it does this using the "standard" order which is system classloader resources first and custom classloader resources last. So you can't change the order of the enumeration to give a higher priority to custom classloader resources by enumerating them first.
