Getting background information on the Classloader
With the evolution of Java™ and J2EE the classes needed during runtime need to be packaged such that they are found by the correct classloader responsible for loading the class.

The classloader hierarchy consists of three classloaders:
  • bootstrap Classloader
  • extensions Classloader
  • application Classloader

For a detailed explanation on classloaders, refer to the information center for your release. For detailed information on classloader settings, refer to Best Practice for using Common Application Files.
