Hi All,
Regarding the TCCL, wonder checking null for TCCL and fallback to Class
classloader would solve the whole problem. Even in embedded case, when check
for TCCL it will give you the application classpath. i.e, Felix set
application classpath to TCCL and it is not OSGi based. OSGi sepc doesn't
cover this phenomenon properly and different OSGi implementation treats this
differently. In Felix, TCCL wouldn't be null. Thus, if I assume correct, in
order to get Struts bundle working struts beans have to be in application
classpath. If that the case, it would contradict with OSGi modularity
concept.
Thank you!
