Indeed, the Jakarta Commons Logging package is doing just what you suggest --- falling back to this.getClass().getClassLoader() if the context class loader is null or fails to load the desired class.
I have to admit that I myself do not understand why this "context class loader" concept is even used here. I do not understand why Xerces and Jakarta Commons Logging should not always simply use this.getClass().getClassLoader() as its first, last, and only choice.
