----------------------------------------
Thank you, very kind of you Ashish :) I will submit a patch (I'm still in the
middle of the pain) and I would really appreciate help and feedback if you have
time.
> Refactor and simplify the startup sequence in OFBiz
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: OFBIZ-8337
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-8337
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: base, start
> Affects Versions: Upcoming Branch
> Reporter: Taher Alkhateeb
> Assignee: Taher Alkhateeb
> Priority: Minor
>
> 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.
