Abstract
A class loader locates, at run time, a requested code component. The code component is preferably stored on a database, rather than in a file system, to improve its accessibility in a network computing environment. Code components are preferably stored in the database using an organizational structure that reflects a code isolation structure. In this manner, different versions of a particular code component can be retrieved in a transparent, automated manner, depending on information associated with the invocation thereof.
