I was recently asked in an interview about the order in which classloaders are called when a class is loaded.

Unfortunately I've never had the need to write my own classloader so at the time was unfamiliar with the intricacies of classloading.

This got me wondering, what reasons are their to write your own classloader.

So that's my question: What scenarios have people faced which required the need to writing their own classloaders?
