This is already covered by the ClassLoader docs.  You can also search 
for a tutorial how it all works, but basically you overload findClass 
and don't touch the other methods and it all works out.  loadClass 
automatically searches for existing classes first, then only calls 
findClass if it needs too.  IIRC.
