Hi David,
This application handles numerous commands, and these are handled in the application.
But when a customer wants additional functions/commands we need to add these dynamically without redeploy the application and/or libraries (which are stored in geronimo repository).
The commands are defined in an interface which all all commands must address.
These commands correspond to a class with the same name, and thus are easy to create if they could be found on the classpath.
The question is really if it is possible to add a jar to the geronimo repository and have a running application use it (place the newly repository added jar on the applicaton classpath ) ?
I've been looking at gbeans and dependency injection. This could be a solution.
Your advice would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Stig Even Larsen

As others have pointed out, anything like this is going to be platform
specific. Could you describe a bit more what kind of problem you are
trying to solve? We might be able to suggest a more appropriate
solution than changing the contents of existing classloaders which
always seems to me a risky proposition.
thanks
