Hi,
Seems everyone is tired of OSGi? Maybe adding the OSGi header is as far as we should go.
However, I would like to use this thread to a related question - class loading.
At several occasions Hibernate Validator needs to do some class loading or at least needs
a class loader
(e.g. loading classes specified in the xml configuration, detecting whether JPA is on the
classpath in the case
of TraversableResolver, loading resource bundles).
The spec does not define which class loader should be used in these cases. Hibernate
Validator for example
first tries the context and then the current class loader. The question is whether there
is a need to specify which
class loader should be used or should there even be a ClassLoaderService:
public interface ClassLoaderService {
public <T> Class<T> classForName(String className);
// potentially more class loader related methods
….
}
An implementation of such a service could be passed if we add
javax.validation.Configuration#classLoaderService(ClassLoaderService).
WDYT?

Not that I know of.
