Yes, if you know the Bundle-SymbolicName and Version (or the Bundle ID) you can find its classloader.
On the other question, if you're passing in a class object then you can obtain its classloader and hence the bundle where it came from. But, and I think this is what Dan allused to above, is it always true that the class your passing in comes from the bundle that you need to have or could it also come from one of its parent class loaders?
