When you load the new class are you loading it from a class loader
that was created after the refresh? If not, you will most likely get
a cached copy of the protection domain used for other classes loaded
from the same CodeSource. When you do a refresh, it causes the policy
file to get reloaded, but doesn't have any impact on domains that have
already been created. Any class loaders that have already been created
and have loaded classes before the refresh will have a cached copy of
the domain so the same domain is used for all classes from the same
code source.
