Stefano--
Glad to hear you guys are finding it useful. Forehead got sunsetted
pretty quickly though and has been replaced by Classworlds which has
slightly more robust concepts and also supports the 'uber-jar' for
running a complete app from a standalone jar and no external dependencies.
Ah, didn't know that. I'll look into it right away.
I'll be glad to integrate your change into forehead but you might find classworlds a better solution overall. (Though, it too may suffer from this reflection issue).
I'll try it and come back to you.
Anyhow, http://classworlds.werken.com/ or 'maven uberjar' if you guys are using maven.
Bob,
I tried Classworlds and I found it incredibly slow. I tried to look into the code to see why and I saw too many classloading and it does too many things for the super-simple layer of classloading abstraction I wanted, so I decided to write my own tiny one (took me half an hour). Since we use it to run the servlet container with inside Cocoon (a total of 15mb of java classes!!) classloading speed really isan issue for us, expecially on development since you normally have to reload the instances of Cocoon several times.
Anyway, many thanks for your support.
