that's true; but slight variation of this problem is: * - it is still possible to write a classloader which loads (or generates on the fly) [only] a proxy of the target class originally requested, so that later [when needed], this proxy class can trash(along with its backend,hidden classloader) the initially loaded original target class, to load another one (or even while the first one is still in effect), so that new client requests can then be start diverted to this new (backend-target) class, from then on... for a sample program of this; maybe try http://bcel.sourceforge.net/ - Examples - ProxyCreator.java kenji =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
