Contextual Dynamic Class Loader, Unloader, and Reloader

[Netherwolf]

What I want to do is create a multi-threaded web server that handles requests for files on a 1 thread per request basis. OK, I'm a novice to intermediate Java programmer. That's do-able.

Here's the tricky part.

Web-servers are ONLY so much fun without a scripting engine or some sort of programmable interface. I want to be able to load ON-THE-FLY java classes through a dynamic class loader where that class is usable only in the context of its thread.
Example:

http://www.someserver.com/somewhere/somejava.class?user=Plympton

[&]pass=ThePlumPuddingPleasesThePlatypus
Once it's done, it throws everything away and waits for the next request.

Right now, I'm looking over this, and I'm thinking it's in the realm of what I need.

I haven't properly looked over and tested it yet. Can you tell me if this is what I need, and what further recommendations would you make? I may need a little hand-holding.

What about using an already-built application server like JBoss or a servlet container like Tomcat?

Because, sometimes, you want to write one yourself.
