Here is the step to create the problem:
1/ Implement a NetworkClassLoader to download a class from a
  remote machine, e.g. call it "Remote.class"
2/ The "Remote" class should call System.loadLibrary method to
  load a DLL file from another machine and also call a native
  function defined in the downloaded DLL file.
3/ Run the NetworkClassLoader. The NetworkClassLoader should
  download the Remote class dynamically and also execute a
  method in Remote class which will download the DLL and call
  a native method defined in that DLL.

The JVM will issue the following error message:
 java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkerError: nativeFunction

I also noticed that if I run Remote class locally, it can download
the DLL from another machine and call "nativeFunction" correctly.

I can provide all source code if necessary.

Thanks for checking into this problem !
