Perhaps, upon portlet initialization, the payload classes of any supported events could be placed in a Map and stored as a servlet context attribute. The keys could be the qualified names of the event payload, and the values could be a Class that was loaded using Thread.getContextClassloader().loadClass during the PortletServlet's init() method. Then, instead of loading the class during the event firing phase, use ServletContext.getContext(String) to retrieve the required ServletContext, look up the map of previously loaded classes, and pass the appropriate one to the Unmarshaller. Just my two cents, -- Ben
