META-INF resource lookup in OSGi environment
--------------------------------------------

                 Key: MYFACES-2548
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-2548
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: General
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0-beta-2
            Reporter: Jarek Gawor


MyFaces uses context class loader to lookup META-INF resources. This works fine 
in a regular Java environment but breaks in OSGi. One easy solution for this 
would be to first ask the CCL for the resource and if none is found ask the 
surrounding class class loader for that resource (assuming the resource we are 
looking for lives in the same jar as the class loading it), i.e.:

URL foo = getContextClassLoader().getResource("META-INF/foo");
if (foo == null) {
  foo = getClass().getClassLoader().getResource("META-INF/foo");
}

There are a few places in MyFaces code that would need to be updated to use 
this fallback approach. For example in IncludeHandler.java and 
ErrorPageWriter.java.

I also noticed that for some reason the myfaces-dev-debug.xml and 
myfaces-dev-error.xml live in the api module. They seem to be only used the 
impl module so they shouldn't really be needed in the api module.
