> Details of the discussion on classloading changes for Tuscany are on the dev 
> mailing list on this thread:
>     http://www.mail-archive.com/tuscany-dev@ws.apache.org/msg24774.html
>    
> And on the WIKI
>    
> http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/TUSCANYWIKI/Classloading+in+Tuscany+SCA+Java
> Changes in this patch introduce separate classloaders for each contribution.
> SCA contribution import/export spec cannot be implemented using a standard 
> Java parent-child classloader delegation model. But SCA contribution 
> import/export spec is a subset of OSGi package import/export (wiring of 
> import/export is more complex in OSGi since it includes versions and other 
> attributes). Hence an OSGi-style classloader is ideal for Tuscany to enforce 
> SCA contribution spec. 
> Each contribution will have an associated classloader. This will be an 
> subclass of URLClassLoader, and will have the Java application classloader 
> based on CLASSPATH as its parent (the parent classloader will be obtained 
> from the thread context). The defining classloader for any application class 
> will be the classloader corresponding to the SCA contribution containing the 
> class. ContributionClassLoader.findClass will search the contribution for the 
> class, and if not found, it will search other classloaders of other 
> contributions wired using SCA import/export. Like OSGi, an overlapping class 
> space will be defined for each contribution which consists of the classes in 
> the contribution and imported packages from other contributions.
