Java class loaders to the rescue!

Sometimes you want to use an existing library or a piece of code, that works for you in case you want a single instance of it, but doesn’t work if you want to pool of them.

Class loaders can help

In a JVM the combination of a Java class and its class loader is unique. So, the same Java class in different class loaders are, from the JVM point of view, different classes.
