Method Detail

loadClass

protected java.lang.Class<?> loadClass(java.lang.String name,
                           boolean resolve)
                                throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

This implementation of loadClass uses a child first delegation model rather than the standard parent first. If the requested class cannot be found in this class loader, the parent class loader will be consulted via the standard ClassLoader.loadClass(String, boolean) mechanism.

Overrides:

loadClass in class java.lang.ClassLoader

Parameters:

name - Class to load

resolve - true to resolve all class dependencies when loaded

Returns:

Class for the provided name

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - if the class cannot be found in this class loader or its parent

getResource

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

Load the named resource from this plugin. This implementation checks the plugin's contents first then delegates to the system loaders.

Overrides:

getResource in class java.lang.ClassLoader

Parameters:

name - the name of the resource.

Returns:

the URL to the resource, null if the resource was not found.

getLocalResource

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

Gets the resource from this classloader only

Parameters:

name - the name of the resource

Returns:

the URL to the resource, null if the resource was not found

close

public void close()
