> During the process of determining which classloader to use in loading a class reflectively, the application ends up delegating to the bootstrap classloader unintentionally.  When the utility first looks for the explicitly mapped classloader by classname, is passes the result to the Class.forName() call immediately without first checking for a null value.  The Javadocs state that if null is passed as the classloader argument then the bootstrap classloader is used.  I believe the code should be changed to check for null before attempting to load the class with a mapped classloader, thereby allowing the class to be loaded normally through the context classloader or the default classloader:
> if ( classLoader != null) return Class.forName(className, true, classLoader);
