Carlos,
Thanks. This is interesting. Can you explain what the effect of
Thread.setContextClassLoader() is? Does it make classes from the
WEB-INF/lib and WEB-INF/classes area avaiable to classes loaded by
the boot class or system class loader?

You can make them visible, but the class from the boot classloader or
system classloader has to know what to do -- it calls
Thread.getContextClassLoader() to get the class loader for the current
thread, and asks *that* classloader to create the new object, instead
of
using the "new" operator.
