[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (JBVFS-206) [GSS](7.1.z) URL.getContent() returns VirtualFile instead of ImageProducer

[Tomas Hofman (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBVFS-206?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13607338#comment-13607338 ] 

Tomas Hofman commented on JBVFS-206:
------------------------------------

{{java.net.URLConnection#getContent()}} specifies that a content handler determined by the connection's contentType should be called to produce the content. {{VirtualFileURLConnection}} doesn't call any content handler and always returns {{VirtualFile}} instead. That leads to different object types being returned when called from a Wildfly deployment as opposed to clean java environment and possibly other application servers.

> URL.getContent() behaves differently within JBoss than it does in a normal JVM.  In our case, when a jar is used in a normal JVM, URL.getContent() returns an ImageProducer.  When the same jar is used from within JBoss, a VirtualFile is returned which then causes a ClassCastException.
> Note: This worked fine in JBoss 4.2.3.GA.
