Sebb commented on DISCOVERY-13:
-------------------------------

In my opinion, the fact that the Oracle JVM does not allow classes to be found using the getResource() method does not mean that the Oracle JVM is broken. Nor is it broken if ProtectionDomain#getCodeSource() returns null, as that is specifically allowed.

As far as I can tell, the fact that the current code works for some JVMs is a by-product of their implementation, rather than a requirement.

> First of all, excuse my bad english (I'm an spanish speaker)
> Starting in version 8i, Oracle provides an embedded JVM inside th databases, in order to develop a stored procedure inJava language, later to be invoked via PL/SQL.
> Saddly, the JVM has some quirks, for example an somehow brain-damaged classLoader (oracle.aurora.rdbms.OracleClassLoader).
> This JVM stores the classes inside table objects (very reasonable).
> This leads to some problem: the resources haves some strange URL (example: jserver:/resource/schema/NAME_OF_THE_SCHEMA/ar.com.menhir.config.properties).
> It will be not problema at all except because it's brain damage insist in telling that the above URL works only with RESOURCES and not with CLASSES!!
> for example, the following example
> 	  private static void getData ( ClassLoader cl , String str ){
> 		  System.out.println(str +".class" + "-> "+cl.getResource(str+".class"));
> 		  System.out.println(str +".class" + "-> "+ClassLoader.getSystemResource(str+".class"));
> 	  }
> ...
> getData(Test.class.getClassLoader(),"ar.com.menhir.wstest.Test");
> ...
> gives this 2 results:
> with normal classLoader ( sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader)
>     ar/com/menhir/wstest/Test.class-> file:/C:/Users/LeoB/workspace2/prueba/bin/ar/com/menhir/wstest/Test.class
>     ar/com/menhir/wstest/Test.class-> file:/C:/Users/LeoB/workspace2/prueba/bin/ar/com/menhir/wstest/Test.class
> with oracle classLoader (oracle.aurora.rdbms.OracleClassLoader)
>     ar/com/menhir/wstest/Test.class-> null
>     ar/com/menhir/wstest/Test.class-> null
> The problem arises in org.apache.commons.discovery.resource.classes.DiscoverClasses, where the line 60 
> final String resourceName = className.replace('.','/') + ".class";
> points to a nonexistente resource.
> my workaround was to hack this class with the following:
> final String resourceName = ar.com.menhir.oracle.resources.Utils.getResourcePrefix(className).replace('.','/') + ".class";
> where getResourcePrefix gets the correct prefix for this class.
> You must note that this is a somehow brutal way of solving. I'm interested in contribute with the wright way, but I'm not very sure of where to start.
> Could you please help me?
> Thank you
