The way you would normally do this, I think, is to put both the ejb-jar
and the jar of you utility classes in an EAR with some sort of classpath
manifest. This is described in the J2EE spec.
Hot-deployment works through classloaders. If your classes are loaded by
a non-disposable classloader then they can't be thrown away and
reloaded.
