Shoudn't be too hard to keep it in when I port.

The refactoring I propose would indeed use one
class-loader per page. My current implementation does
this leveraging a subclass of JasperLoader but I'll
explore using URLClassLoader. I would need to make
sure that it is compatible with jdk1.1 (a tc3.3
requirement) so if I used URLClassLoader, I'd need to
provide a jdk1.1 replacement ala the way tomcat
startup does. This actually should be pretty easy
since I'm getting the loader via a factory method.

Don't worry - I totally understand this! :-)
