True, since the JVM-provided classloaders follow a strict delegation upwards model. Nevertheless, specifying invalid locations for a classloader is extremely bad practice, since you're fooling yourself about what's going on. Regardless, as you state, this isn't the OP's problem, other than it demonstrates a significant lack of understanding of classloader hierarchies and responsibilities. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
