Thanks. I'm not familiar with Java. I thought multiple classloaders are more like dlmopen (which doesn't help much - symbol visibility is hard) cause I saw people struggling on classpath conflict etc.

It is basically how application servers got implemented, every EAP/WAR file gets their own classloader, and there is an hierachy that allows to override search paths.

That is how I managed back in the day to use JSF 2.0 on Websphere 6, which officially did not had support for it out of the box.
