Peter, Stefano,
Yes and no. There is so many broken APIs such as this and more keep coming
out each day. For instance JNDI is a JVM wide setting, JDK1.4 logging is JVM
wide, JDK 1.4 Prefs is JVM wide etc. This is not even to mention the Policy
objects and half the security API. More and more of the JVM is being forced
into the "single JVM, single app" model which completely bites.
That's well put. Even things like XML parsing suck. IoC should rule
for all provided services.
Other real options include
* moving SarURLStreamHandler to system classloader and going with ugly tight
coupling.
-1
* extracting jars into tmp/work directory and reusing them (like how Pauls
sugested using MetaJarToolkit)
I thought it did not unpack. I thought it managed it all inside the jar
by virtue of a hook class.
* writing our own ClassLoader
+1
* ignoring this factor and always extracting lib
For Interim +1
* something else?
