RMI Classloading in JBoss EAP 6
Issue
- In JBoss 4, it was possible to load classes from the server into a Java-based rich-client via RMI, we used this to pull download classes that were not required by our proprietary interface for plugins. With JBoss EAP 6, this does not work anymore and the exception below is thrown:

https://community.jboss.org/wiki/RMIClassLoadingService , but I how can this be done on JBoss EAP 6.x ?
Environment
