Dynamically modifying CLASSPATH

[peter . pilgrim]

Can one dynamically modified the CLASSPATH within Java and to create an 
application that loads classes from a modified class path?


For example:

            Properties propsJVM = System.getProperties();
            String ncp = extraClassPath + pathSep +
            System.getProperty("java.class.path");
            propsJVM.put("java.class.path",ncp);


The next step is thus

        try { Class.forName("org.xenon.FunkyDancer"); }
        catch ( ClassNotFoundException e ) { ... }

This does not work for me on JDK1.1.7 sparc-sun-solaris-2.5.1 ?
But can this sort of code work?
