Hi Gary, thanks for your clarification and yes, I totally agree with your statement.
The class is not removed but the CP is kind of removed and not active after an un-handled exception. I will take a look at the Jira you mentioned.

However, your original statement that "You can't remove a coprocessor" needed some clarification, in that the coprocessor that threw the exception _is_ removed from the active set of coprocessors for that region. So it is no longer invoked for pre/post hooks on the call path for further requests. >From the original question, I take it that this invocation context is what Wei cared about.
