URLClassLoader locks the contrubution jar. ------------------------------------------
Key: TUSCANY-3939 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-3939 Project: Tuscany Issue Type: Bug Components: Java SCA Assembly Model Affects Versions: Java-SCA-2.0-Beta1 Environment: All Reporter: Hasan Muhammad Priority: Critical Fix For: Java-SCA-2.0 When a contribution is started, tuscany 2.0 uses URLClassLoader to load the classes/resources from the contribution. It locks the jar file and does not release the lock even on contribution stop. This is not a bug in tuscany code. This is a problem with Sun's URLClassLoader. Sun has a fix for this that is planned for Java 1.7. But for now, during contribution stop, the following method could be used without any issues, to release the classloader and all the resources it holds ClassLoaderUtil.releaseLoader((URLClassLoader)context.getApplicationClassLoader().getParent()); Note that this method needs to be called on all Unused Contributions in the node, so that those contributions are also unlocked. The list of unused contributions already exists in the node since we have the following method node.stopCompositeAndUninstallUnused -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
