Custom URL stream handler in ByteArrayClassPath

Otherwise a normal streamhandler lookup is made and if javassist is used early on server startup protses this can lead to a deadlock on rare cases on WebSpheare.
For example. A new StreamHandlerFactory is registered but not jet fully initialized. Now javassist is used at the same time but form another thread and it will be the first one to invoke the new StreamHandlerFactory and now it can deadlock with the other thread:
