[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBAS-7210) JBossContextConfig needs to be isolated from the war class loader

Tue Apr 2 06:56:47 EDT 2013

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-7210?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12764327#comment-12764327 ] 

Bruno HALEBLIAN commented on JBAS-7210:
---------------------------------------

These 2 referenced patches failed to apply "as is" on JB 5.1.0_GA sources. Line numbers and former $Id tags didn't match because the diffs comply with JB 6.X code source. So I had to adapt the diffs (change line numbers and former $Id tag comment) to have the patch successfully apply on JB 5.1.0_GA sources. That's what I call backport.
I just posted this comment as a HowTo for those who, like me, wanted to hotfix the issue on old running JB5.1 systems with no time for a full JB7 migration.
I fully agree with Brad Maxwell : Upgrading to JB7 is the recommended option, although driving the change from JB5 to JB7 on production systems varies from simple to head-aching (depending on what's deployed)...

> The parsing of the context.xml by the JBossContextConfig class is using the tccl which causes problems when the war app has tried to load its own xml parser.
