Trying to fully understand... pardon my questions.. why is creating a user-defined class loader not "safe"? Just because you load your own classes doesn't mean they aren't subject to whatever SecurityManager is in place, right? So how could they do anything not already allowed? Also, I thought the VM spec required java.lang.* could only be loaded by the bootstrap loader. Do you have an example source file that demonstrates this bug? -Archie __________________________________________________________________________ Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
