 * A ClassLoader which sees only specified classes, and which can be
 * set to do parent-first or child-first path lookup.
 * <p>
 * Note that this classloader is not "industrial strength"; users
 * looking for such a class may wish to look at the Tomcat sourcecode
 * instead. In particular, this class may not be threadsafe.
 * <p>
 * Note that the ClassLoader.getResources method isn't overloaded here.
 * It would be nice to ensure that when child-first lookup is set the
 * resources from the child are returned earlier in the list than the
 * resources from the parent. However overriding this method isn't possible
 * as the java 1.4 version of ClassLoader declares this method final
 * (though the java 1.5 version has removed the final qualifier). As the
 * ClassLoader javadoc doesn't specify the order in which resources
 * are returned, it's valid to return the resources in any order (just
 * untidy) so the inherited implementation is technically ok.
