Re: [hibernate-dev] Integrator locator
So a slight concern. The javadocs for java.util.ServiceLoader state
that its load(Class) method uses TCCL. Given the recent issues we have
had with TCCL and JBoss AS 7 I wonder if its better to use the explicit
load(Class,ClassLoader) version?
There the question becomes what ClassLoader to use. We do have the
ClassLoaderService which is meant to abstract away access to the
underlying ClassLoader(s), however its API does not allow access to
those ClassLoader(s) themselves.

Well, just that when users (programmers) see such a file there's a higher chance that
they know what it's doing and how is the services discovery working.
Apart from that, can't think of anything :)
