Class InjectionClassLoader

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    ByteArrayClassLoader, MultipleParentClassLoader
    public abstract class InjectionClassLoader
extends java.lang.ClassLoader

    An injection class loader allows for the injection of a class after the class loader was created. Injection is only possible if this class loader is not sealed.

    Important: Not sealing a class loader allows to break package encapsulation for anybody getting hold of a reference to this class loader.

      • isSealed

        public boolean isSealed()
        Returns true if this class loader is sealed.
        Returns:
        true if this class loader is sealed.

      • defineClass

        public java.lang.Class<?> defineClass​(java.lang.String name,
                                      byte[] binaryRepresentation)
                               throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
        Defines a new type to be loaded by this class loader.
        Parameters:
        name - The name of the type.
        binaryRepresentation - The type's binary representation.
        Returns:
        The defined class or a previously defined class.
        Throws:
        java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - If the class could not be loaded.
