title: Advantages of RepositoryClassLoader of jboss over stand alone custom class loader
body: <p>in my application I am looking to develop Java custom class loader to enforce hot deployment of my java classes. I was thinking to go on by extending java.lang.ClassLoader. But  during a discussion over the design on my colleague suggested to use jboss custom class loaders (by repository class loaders). In both the cases,I have to write the  class loading  part. But what is the advantage of jboss class loaders over my own custom class loaders? I am not able to find it. Can someone help me to understand it ?</p>
