Besides the obvious Java issues of dynamically loading code, are there any restlet-specific considerations for why you dynamically load an Application instance from a jar file?
It seems to me that the Component instance in which the Application is running is protected from the Application instance. As such, there isn't a way that the dynamically loaded code could do something bad like call "stop()" on the component unless you made the component instance directly available in the environment somehow (e.g. as an attribute on the context). Am I correct? Are there other issues to consider? --Alex Milowski
