Yes, this is the other important factor, thanks for jumping in Bob.  That
property is used by the default RMIClassLoaderSPI implementation.  It causes RMI
to annotate exported proxy definitions (via MarshalledObject) to carry with them
the information needed for remote users to download and use the proxy's required
classes.

What you are doing will require that you create a URL classloader pointing at
the classes that you want to be loaded remotely.  You will then need to set and
maintain that as the Thread context class loader for all execution paths that
you want those classes to be available from/in.
