Taher Alkhateeb updated OFBIZ-8337:
-----------------------------------
Description:
The startup sequence in OFBiz is highly complex and requires improvements on
multiple levels including:
- The entire classpath buildup logic and org.apache.ofbiz.base.start.Classpath
needs to be removed. The original idea of classpath isolation between the
components created many more problems than it solved, and right now the
classpath construction is the responsibility of the build system.
- The custom classloader needs to be removed as well together with the
classpath mentioned above.
- The StartupLoader interface should remove the start() method and just have
two methods, load and unload.
- The startup sequence should have only one StartupLoader, not an array of
startup loaders. This StartupLoader (implemented as ContainerLoader) is the
only class responsible for bootstrapping OFBiz
- The ContainerLoader needs to be completely refactored, not only to remove the
start() method but also to cleanup the very messy logic currently residing
there.
