[hibernate-dev] Question about the classloader used for loading JDBC drivers with Hibernate 4.x

[Scott Marlow]

I agree that its only a problem when the JDBC driver is not on the 
server classpath (AS7 has "Global Modules" that allows for that as a 
last resort option).

I think it is always better to have the JDBC drivers be available 
globally.  However, it doesn't matter which approach is used for these 
users, whether there is a global JDBC driver module that their 
application can depend on or the application includes the JDBC driver. 
They still need Hibernate to be able to see the JDBC driver.

I think that these users could consider using the AS7 "Global Modules" 
(https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/AS71/Class+Loading+in+AS7) as a 
workaround but am also interested in whether Hibernate might also make 
changes to support this case better.
