classloader to be involved?
All in all, I think Classloader tricks will hit back pretty badly. They
normally do.
What happened to the application isolation spec slated for JDK1.5??
Also, people who are more familiar with webapp containers... Are
URLStreamHandlers really used in Tomcat, Weblogic, Websphere et al??
Or is this a hypothetical discussion?
Even then, I think this approach would only help if everyone wanted to
use each others' stream handlers. For Felix, we wanted them isolated by
framework instance, which is possible since we know something about the
class loader and bundle details. If this were made to be completely
generic so that anyone could participate, then it would be even more
difficult to multiplex for isolation purposes.
