Folks,
BaseClassLoader, ClassLoaderDomain and several other classes in JBossCL have public API
methods which take Set as a parameter. We can't control what implementation of Set is
passed in to these methods, but HashSet is commonly used, causing the URL.hashCode()
performance problem (DNS lookup).
I do not understand enough about the public API of JBossCL to know where these methods
might be used from. However, I do know that these methods are called internally from
several areas in JBossCL with a HashSet.
I see a two-step solution:
1) Change anywhere in JBossCL where HashSet is used to another Set implementation. This is
a quick and non-API-breaking change that will actually take care of the most common
scenarios.
An example (from user code in the container): ClassLoader.getResources(String) eventually
calls BaseClassLoader.loadResources(String) which creates a HashSet and passes that to
ClassLoaderDomain.getResources(...) to be filled in, eventually returning the HashSet to
the caller. Changing the internal usage of ClassLoaderDomain and friends to use a Set
other than HashSet would fix this scenario.
2) Consider if there is an API change required to prevent misuse of this by callers
outside of JBossCL. I'm not sure if any of these methods are intended to be used from
outside. Some are public, some are not.
I'm willing to tackle solution #1 and may submit a patch later this evening.
However, I need some help/discussion/advice before I could tackle #2.
Thoughts? Comments?
