Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource("")
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: FELIX-2951
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-2951
             Project: Felix
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Framework
    Affects Versions: framework-3.2.1
            Reporter: Andrei Pozolotin


Richard, hello;

1) here you say
      
http://old.nabble.com/Can-the-thread-context-classloader-issue-be-solved-at-all--td28260809.html
that "There is no reliable way to do this since..."

2) this project
      http://pivot.apache.org/index.html
is using this kind of pattern quite often:

ImageView ::
    /**
     * Sets the image view's image by {@linkplain 
ClassLoader#getResource(String)
     * resource name}.
     *
     * @param imageName
     * The resource name of the image to set.
     *
     * @see #setImage(URL)
     */
    public final void setImage(String imageName) {
        if (imageName == null) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("imageName is null.");
        }

        ClassLoader classLoader = 
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
        setImage(classLoader.getResource(imageName.substring(1)));
    }

3) instead of trying to work around this inside of felix, can you please provide
a set of guidelines for developers of projects such as apache pivot,
so the issue is gone?

thank you;

Andrei
