The ClassloaderUtils is set up to possibly aggregate over all classloaders, however, as you found, it needs some work, which is why aggregation is disabled. Besides the duplicate problem, it could have an adverse affect on performance, and its ultimate value is questionable. Still, I like working with Iterators instead of Enumerations so I left it in.

Ah... i got it now. I am having aggregate=true, that's why its having duplicates. With aggregate=false, its working ok.

Why would we get duplicates? ATM, we are only loading the resource from the first successful classloader, so we shouldn't get the same file multiple times. The FileManager keeps a list of loaded files to ensure we don't load one twice.

With,

one.jar
   pac/test.xml
two.jar
   pac/test.xml
three.jar
   pac/test.xml

We would get something like (if we iterate over each iteration)
jar:file:/......./one.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
jar:file:/......./two.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
jar:file:/......./three.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
jar:file:/......./one.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
 jar:file:/......./two.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
 jar:file:/......./three.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
jar:file:/......./one.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
 jar:file:/......./two.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
 jar:file:/......./three.jar!/META-INF/test.xml

It should be sufficient I think if we could just get jar:file:/......./one.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
 jar:file:/......./two.jar!/META-INF/test.xml
 jar:file:/......./three.jar!/META-INF/test.xml

instead of some extra duplicates. What do you think? Should we fix this, or is it a feature? Thx in advance.

Sounds cool. Just some thoughts. Maybe we could make the bootstrap struts xml "struts-default.xml" and the plugins xml "struts-plugin.xml" while those in the webapp "struts.xml". The bootstraping sequence would be 1] struts-default.xml 2] struts-plugins.xml
3] struts.xml

This way its easier for us to control which config we are dealing with.  If we have the plugins config and 
the base bootsraping config all called "struts-default.xml", depending on  which gets loaded first 
in the classpath, we might get the plugin's "struts-default.xml" called first before the 
struts-core's "struts-default.xml" which will cause some problem (with current xwork code) cuase 
some of the required interceptor, results etc used by the plugin might not be loaded yet. I hope i got the 
concept correct, if not please correct me. :-)
Good point, let's do this.

Another thing we might want to considered is the dependency of plugins. If say plugin A needs some stuff declared in plugin B, it might not work, depending on which gets loaded first in the classpath. Or would this make thing unnecessarily complicated?
Well, the most robust solution for plugins would be to use OSGI like Eclipse does, however, I'm not sure we need that power yet. I'd like to keep it simple for now, sticking with a system that is already in place. It doubles as an example to users on how to plug in functionality easily.
About the new ClassLoaderUtil under xwork2 code, the method "getResources(String, Class, 
boolean)". I think its better if we could make the Iterator<URL> returned not to 
contains duplicates. Eg. if I jave

one.jar
  pac/test.xml
two.jar
  pac/test.xml
three.jar
  pac/test.xml

trying to get "pac/test.xml" will return more than 3 copies. What do you guys think? Attached below is a patch attemt to fix this. I could create a jira issue if its agreed that its something to be fix.
Actually, that's the whole point :) In our case, we are using it to get all the struts-plugin.xml files in all jars. This allows us to dynamically discover new plugins without the need to "register" them somewhere. It also makes it nice for users to deploy new modules by simply including a struts.xml file in their jar and the module is automatically discovered and installed.
