[weld-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (WELD-615) Change proxy CL to TCCL in default ProxyServices implementation

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/WELD-615?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12545105#action_12545105 ] 

David Allen commented on WELD-615:
----------------------------------

OK, so if package scoped members must be supported, then there really is no choice other than to use the CL of that class or interface, and not the TCCL.

This does lead to strange deployment behaviors in most application servers, since application proxy classes will remain in a server even when the application is undeployed; however, there should be no other references to those classes.

> There is still a problem with many applications and servers by not using the TCCL for proxy classes.  GAE for instance was using the TCCL by initializing the static member of Javassist's ProxyFactory, and GlassFish needs to do the same.
> The only reason not to use TCCL is based on how the TCK and other tests are written for Weld:  they make use of package protected classes and members.  Since this approach to writing application classes is not common in practice (usually private, protected or public scope specified), I would recommend changing the default ProxyServices implementation to support the common practice and not our tests.  The test frameworks or test sets can probably be changed to provide a different ProxyServices implementation.  Off hand I don't know exactly how that can happen yet, but I think it's worth investigating.
