Pax URL Classpath is an OSGi URL handler provides access to resources from thread classpath or all installed bundles or a specific bundle. The searched bundle are only those that are nnot protected by permissions.The resource is searched by:
- first look if the bundle symbolic name was specified. If that's the case and the bundle was found then the resource is searched in that bundle. If the resource is found it is returned otherwise an IOException is thrown. If the bundle is not found then an IOException is thrown.
- look in the current thread classpath. If found the resource is returned
- if not found in thread classpath search all the bundles available and return the first resource found
- if still not found an IOException is thrown
