Constructor Detail

ClassPathLoader

public ClassPathLoader(ClassPath path,
                       java.lang.String name)

Method Detail

getClassPath

public ClassPath getClassPath()

loadClass

public java.lang.Class loadClass(java.lang.String name,
                                 boolean resolve)
                          throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Overrides:

loadClass in class java.lang.ClassLoader

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

getResource

public java.net.URL getResource(java.lang.String name)

This cannot easily be implemented under JDK 1.1 (we would have to install our own java.net.URLStreamHandlerFactory but only one is allowed per application so this would not be very modular). JDK 1.1 supports the jar: protocol for reading entries within JAR files, so this will be easy to implement then.

Overrides:

getResource in class java.lang.ClassLoader

getResourceAsStream

public java.io.InputStream getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String name)

Overrides:

getResourceAsStream in class java.lang.ClassLoader

loadClassData

public byte[] loadClassData(java.lang.String theClassName)
                     throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
