Hit miss for class loader cost performance problem in Richfaces 4.1.0.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-11000
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11000
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Patch
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: core
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.Milestone1
         Environment: Linux, Java 6
            Reporter: Pawel J.
            Priority: Minor


There are scenarios when resources are retrieved during no partial
request processing:
  1) JSF html renderer (such as ScriptRenderer from faces) require to
know resources names to include them to html/head,
  2) Resources content request.

We have two types of resources: dynamic and static. Predefined dynamic
resources (such as StateHolderResource) are read using class loader as
they are java classes. Static resources are kept in resources folder
as part of richfaces release jars (jquery.js, richfaces.js, etc).
There is a special case with compiled css that is consider as dynamic
resources but is not important in our case.

The problem appears when we try to load static resources using dynamic
loader. This make unnecessary lookup in java class loader space which
cost time and of course we miss the call as static resources not
exists there.

Statistics that shows class loader hits for every richfaces/ajax4jsf no partial request that will be eliminated after patch:
