[Springframework-developer] ClassPathResource and GenericApplicationContext.setClassLoader()

[Alex A. <aar...@pi...>]

Hello,

I am having an issue with spring when I use GenericApplicationContext.  =
Even though I have used setClassLoader() prior to loading my beans, it =
seems at some point that ClassPathResource loses focus of it.

After spending some time debugging, it seems that ClassPathResource has =
a private member "classLoader" that gets set to the ClassLoader of the =
thread context.  So, even though ClassPathResource was actually loaded =
with the ClassLoader I used to override, it uses the private member =
instead.

My current brutish fix resets ClassPathResource.classLoader to =
getClass().getClassLoader() if it was indeed loaded by my classloader.  =
I do this in the constructor.

Is ClassPathResource behaving as expected here?  That is, shouldn't it =
be loaded with the ClassLoader that I set using =
GenericApplicationContext?

Best regards,
--Alex
