The reason I picked out java.lang.Integer from your other mail is 
because it's defined to the boot loader and so would be interesting to 
know the defining loader for the proxy class generated for 
java.lang.Integer.

If you can find the defining loader of 
org.jboss.weld.proxies.util.Map$Proxy then I think it would be useful to 
this discussion. If the defining loader is your own implementation then 
there be no issue invoking that class loader's defineClass (from the 
right context of course).
