		System.out.println("Is image null? " + (test.image == null));
	}
	// Note: This method was pulled out of the JDK src file for SimpleBeanInfo.java.
	// This allows for easier debugging, you can actually see the local variables.

		} catch (Exception ex) {
			// will end up here because the PrivilegedAction returns something that cannot be cast
			// to an ImageProducer when this is run in JBoss AS 6.0.0.FINAL. In JBoss the returned

      Read the content directly such as with ImageIO.read(url.openStream().getSource() 

      import java.awt.Image;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.beans.SimpleBeanInfo;

            URL url = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(resourceName);
            InputStream is = null;
            try {
               is = url.openStream();
               return ImageIO.read(is).getSource();
            } catch(Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
               return null;
            } finally {
               try { is.close(); } catch(Exception e) { } 
            }

      Read the content directly such as with ImageIO.read(url.openStream().getSource() import java.awt.Image; import javax.imageio.ImageIO; import java.io.InputStream; import java.beans.SimpleBeanInfo; URL url = Thread .currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getResource(resourceName); InputStream is = null ; try { is = url.openStream(); return ImageIO.read(is).getSource(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); return null ; } finally { try { is.close(); } catch (Exception e) { } }

      URL.getContent() behaves differently within JBoss than it does in a normal JVM. In our case, when a jar is used in a normal JVM, URL.getContent() returns an ImageProducer. When the same jar is used from within JBoss, a VirtualFile is returned which then causes a ClassCastException.

      Note: This worked fine in JBoss 4.2.3.GA.
