Alright, made some progress. When specifying after and before filters it seems to have effect, however I've found one issue when trying to setup a configuration simulating default classloading behavior for ear deployments.
For ear deployments default is parent-first="false" ie. parent-policy "AFTER_BUT_JAVA_BEFORE".
When setting up jboss-classloading-domain.xml this changes to parent-first="true" ie. parent-policy "BEFORE"
So what I tried was to modify jboss-classloading.xml to simulate the default behavior based on ParentPolicy class:
/** Java and Javax classes before, everything else after */
public static final ParentPolicy AFTER_BUT_JAVA_BEFORE = new ParentPolicy(ClassFilterUtils.JAVA_ONLY, ClassFilterUtils.EVERYTHING, "AFTER_BUT_JAVA_BEFORE");
To start from the beginning, I've setup:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<classloading-domain xmlns="urn:jboss:classloading-domain:1.0" name="jboss.j2ee:extension=LoaderRepository,service=EARDeployment,url='myapp.ear'" parent-domain="DefaultDomain">
<parent-policy>
<before-filter>
<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:2.0" class="org.jboss.classloader.plugins.filter.JavaOnlyClassFilter" />
</before-filter>
<after-filter>
<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:2.0" class="org.jboss.classloader.plugins.filter.EverythingClassFilter" />
</after-filter>
</parent-policy>
</classloading-domain>
However both JavaOnlyClassFilter and EverythingClassFilter have private constructor so I'm getting:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Error constructing javabean
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalAccessException: Class org.jboss.reflect.plugins.introspection.ReflectionUtils can not access a member of class org.jboss.classloader.plugins.filter.JavaOnlyClassFilter with modifiers "private"
And by the way - specifying multiple beans within one filter will work?
like for example:
<before-filter>
<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:2.0" class="org.jboss.classloader.plugins.filter.JavaOnlyClassFilter" />
<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:2.0" class="org.jboss.classloader.plugins.filter.NegatingClassFilter">
<constructor>
<parameter>
<javabean xmlns="urn:jboss:javabean:2.0" class="org.jboss.classloader.spi.filter.RecursivePackageClassFilter">
<constructor>
<parameter>org.hibernate</parameter>
</constructor>
</javabean>
</parameter>
</constructor>
</javabean>
</before-filter>
