Hello, Having read through lots of posts, documents and pages found on Google and still having a, to me, strange problem, I turn to the gurus on jboss.org ... Situation: I start my main application from within jboss. My application will generate dynamic java classes outside the jboss directories. When the classes needs to be loaded the class loading fails with a "Class Not Found Exception". However, if I restart jboss and loads the previously generated classes everything runs smoothly. In the jboss-service.xml for the .sar I have a line: My classes are in a com.hp package and their name starts with Dyn{autogen-id}. The {autogen-id} is a autogenerated name based on a md5 sum of some of the properties of the class (path, name etc). A full path to a class would be: c:\HP\myapp\classes\com\hp\DynXXX.class To find/load the class I use the following: class = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().loadClass("com.hp.DynXXX"); So ... my question is: how do I "hot deploy" a class outside of the jboss directory hierarchy?
