Not exactly sure what you're referring to, or what exactly the layout of your classloaders are, but classloaders are _in general_ hierarchical, with the parent having precedence. Meaning that if it's on the parents classpath, then the parent classloader will load an provide the class (that scheme is part of the security architecture around the JVM to prevent unwanted code injection/manipulation). If you're running in a container (appserver/servlet container/osgi container/etc.), which is doing classloading tricks, then the answer is going to be dependent on which container it is and how your app fits in.
