Description

I don't know who is responsible for setting context class loader for current thread when starting and stopping service/app, but it's not set (is null) when stopping service.

I am using jvm mode and main method in both cases (when starting and stopping).
Example output in main method:

//output is sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@c387f44 when starting service
//output is null when stoping service
System.out.println(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());

This causes a problem when i need to load classes from app defined classpath in stopping process.

So, i was forced to manually get classloader instance when starting service, and set the same classloader instance when stoping a service.

//starting:
classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();

//stoping:
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(classLoader);
