Re: Runtime class addition
You can hot deploy Java classes but I believe you would have to write your own class loader to search for newly deployed classes. Having said that this doesn't seem like the right way to solve the problem. Have you looked at using RMI which handles remote access to classes which aren't available on the callers classpath.
Re: Runtime class addition
RMI looks great, especially its ability to download remote class definitions for you. However, RMI is not available on Android, which is where I'm working. I already jumped through a few hoops to get Java Beans (mostly) working on Android using Apache Harmony, so maybe I can do that again.
Any other suggestions?
Re: Runtime class addition
Sorry but I don't know anything about android so my earlier comment of being able to hot deploy classes may also not apply to android.
