Problem with ClassLoader

Hi I have an application that I deploy in Webstart. And it works up to a point... In a legacy library that I cant modify, someone used ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader and ClassLoader.getSystemResource.

These seem to return null.

Why? Does anyone know a workaround? Does webstart use a different classloader?

Thanks

Ok I know that Webstart uses a different class loader and that the solution is to use Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().

However, I have no power over the legacy library that by the way is badly implemented.

Can i override the default ClassLoader so that ClassLoader.getSystemResource() uses a different ClassLoader than the dafault that obviously doesn't work?
