Sanne Grinovero asked me to drop a quick note about the API used to
discover JBoss Marshalling implementations. Since 1.2.0.GA, you can use
the org.jboss.marshalling.Marshalling class methods to locate protocol
implementations without involving a hard dependency in your sources.
I've heard that Infinispan uses this pattern to load the implementation
class:
(MarshallerFactory)
Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("org.jboss.marshalling.river.RiverMarshallerFactory").newInstance();
This is a bit kludgey though and is considerably more complex than just
doing:
Marshaller.getMarshallerFactory("river");
which uses the java.util.ServiceLoader API to locate and instantiate the
appropriate implementation class, also using the TCCL, and should be
functionally equivalent (yet quite a bit cleaner) to the former.
