JSR107 Caching.getDefaultClassLoader() VS EHCache ClassLoading.getDefaultClassLoader()

[milgner]

Working on an issue to integrate Hibernate with EHCache when using a custom ClassLoader, I found that while one can use the JSR107 API to set a default classloader via Caching.setDefaultClassLoader, there are some cases when EHCache won't pick up on it because its implementation of ClassLoading.getDefaultClassLoader() isn't integrated with that part of the JSR107 API.

I'm quite hesitant to just build a patch to change this as I'm not at all familiar with the code base and the reasons why everything is built as it is. The chance for some heavy fallout from such a change seems very high. Nonetheless, it makes solving the issue with Hibernate integration just a bit harder.

Any comments & ideas welcome.
