Hi.

I am a superficial browser on this list and tend not to delve to deep into Java intricacies. But when a term consistently shows up which I do not understand, I try to at least learn enough about it to be able to reassure my customers.

Classloader is now such a term.

I gather it is something that the JVM calls when it's missing a class, to go hunt it down along a logic all its own, and kind of bring it into service. I also gather that it's rather bad to get one's classloader confused by setting CLASSPATHs and the like. And I gather that you can either have your very own, or rely on Tomcat (?) to provide a standard one. I haven't a clue however if this is something Tomcat-specific, Java-generic, or in-between.

Since I doubt that the above is all there is to say about it, could someone thus be as kind as to point me to an explanation/tutorial about classloaders ?
