Greg:

Thanks for the tip, and I agree with you that the road to the netherworld
is paved with multiple ClassLoaders.

Our application is running as a service on Win/Mac/Linux, so I'll do some
research on simply fetching the updated JAR, putting it in the lib
directory, and restarting the service. OSGI, while shiny, is probably
overkill for our needs.

Appreciate the feedback, and thanks again for your contributions to Jetty.

Pete
