Actually if you look at the source to WWWClassLoader.java you will notice
that you don't have to modify anything at all in any .c file. As the
guy that designed NIS+ it occured to me that just this example would
do quite nicely using a NIS+ table. Can you say global replicated class
storage space? I thought you could. What's that? A class loader that talks
SQL? You mean enterprise wide applications with dynamic extensibility
that automatically upgrade themselves with the control and robustness of
a commercial database? Kind of cool yes? When you can sign your classes
digitally you won't even have to worry about the fact that DNS isn't
secure...
