Couldn't the implementation go like this (in WorkerContext.run):
ClassLoader before = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
try {
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(adaptee.getClass().
getClassLoader());
...
adaptee.run();
...
} finally {
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(before);
}
The speed issue, well, I guess that's a more significant problem.
If it's not slow to *read* the TCCL, we may want to do something like the
above as a defensive measure -- reset the TCCL to the proper one if the
Work changes it without changing it back. So we'd only record the
existing (or desired) CL before invoking adaptee.run, and we'd put an
"if(Thread.cT().getCCL() != before)" before resetting it in the finally
clause.
