Precisely what I was talking of doing. Breaking stuff is not going to 
happen :)

However I am interested in any ideas for getting a reference to the web 
application's own ClassLoader from within a class that has no reference 
to the Serlvet, only the ServletContext.

I suppose in theory you could use the (most/all deprecated) methods on 
ServletContext to iterate over the servlets and just grab any one and 
call getClass().getClassLoader() on it.

Doesn't feel good though...
