Jarek Gawor updated GERONIMO-5744:
----------------------------------
Attachment: GERONIMO-5744.patch
Latest patch with additional improvements so that the user can override the
searchWiredBundles and convertResourceUrl default settings using system
properties. For now used the same property names as in XBEAN-164.
> bundle urls and 3rd party libraries

> Resource lookup in Geronimo 3.0 returns "bundle" type of urls. However, a lot
> of Geronimo code and a number of third party libraries assumes that urls
> returned by resource lookup return "jar" or "file" type of urls. Because of
> this difference a lot of applications might not work properly on Geronimo
> 3.0. The Geronimo specific code has mostly been updated to use OSGi-friendly
> ways to look for resources. However, we can't expect every 3rd party library
> to be updated to be OSGi friendly. So we might need a solution that can
> return "jar" or "file" urls that works with most libraries.
> One possible solution is to use the BundleResourceClassLoader in the
> xbean-bundleutils project (currently used in the OpenJPA plugin). That
> solution could be enhanced with Equinox-specific extension (URLConverter
> service) that can convert "bundle" urls directly into "jar" or "file" urls
> (using the jars in its bundle cache).
