--------------------------------
Summary: PrivilegedActions.getClassLoader(Class clazz) prefers
thread context classloader over passed in type's classloader
Key: BVAL-108
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BVAL-108
Project: BVal
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Ryan Heinen
The getClassLoader(Class clazz) method in PrivilegedActions.java will prefer
the thread context class loader over the class loader available from the passed
in type.
This is unexpected when looking at the method, and appears to be a bug. Similar
to BVAL-89 this fails in an OSGi environment.
AnnotationProxyBuilder.createAnnotation uses this method to load annotations
from types to be validated, and should be using the classloader of the
requested type, or it will be unable to find them.
This means that BVAL-89 is still an issue. Although that fix changed the
createAnnotation method so it calls PrivilegedActions.getClassLoader, the
getClassLoader is still returning the wrong class loader.
The attached patch reverses the order of class loader retrieval in that method.
If it is unable to get the class loader from the provided type, it will fall
back to the thread context class loader rather than the other way around.
