Jason Greene reopened JBAS-8829:
--------------------------------



Due to feedback from the community, I have split the AS7 and AS6 projects and reopened all unscheduled AS6 issues that are a year or less old. This will make it easier community members to find and work on them.

Future releases beyond 6.1 can be done provided a community member steps up to coordinate them.

> In JBoss AS7 each module uses ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory as the implementation for URLStreamHandlerFactory, which actually goes through the set of modules ( provided using jboss.protocol.handler.modules system property ) and locates all URLStreamHandlerFactory providers for the given module ( that are used to create URLStreamHandler ).
> org.jboss.net.protocol.URLStreamHandlerFactory is a service provider for java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory, it is shipped with org.jboss.commons-core.jar, but I haven't seen it registered nowhere as a service provider.
> org.jboss.commons-core.jar is a part of org.jboss.common-core module in AS7.
> Having there this service provider we will be able to pass the moduleId ( org.jboss.common-core ) as part of system property jboss.protocol.handler.modules, then ModularURLStreamHandlerFactory will do a lookup in our org.jboss.common-core module and try to find URLStreamHandler for the given protocol using default java mechanism. 
> At the moment AS7 is configured to handle protocols through VFSStreamHandlerFactory which delegates this to jboss-vfs, in case of unknown protocol it fails, instead it should also check protocol against build in java mechanism.
