Parameters:

jar - the Jar file for the class path.

parent - the Parent class loader.

Throws:

IOException

JarClassLoader

public JarClassLoader(JarFile jar,
              ClassLoader parent)
               throws IOException

Creates the Jar file class loader using the default parent class loader for delegation.

Parameters:

jar - the Jar file for the class path.

parent - the Parent class loader.

Throws:

IOException

Method Detail

addJar

public static void addJar(JarFile jar)

Adds an entry to a Jar file.

getJar

public static JarFile getJar(String jarFileName)

Gets a Jar file from an URL.

Parameters:

jarFileName - The Jar file name.

Returns:

The JarFile associated with this file name or null if not found or garbage collected.

findClass

protected Class<?> findClass(String name)
                      throws ClassNotFoundException

Finds the class with the specified binary name. This method is overridden by this class loader implementations that follow the delegation model for loading classes, and will be invoked by the loadClass method after checking the parent class loader for the requested class.

Overrides:

findClass in class ClassLoader

Parameters:

name - The binary name of the class

Returns:

The resulting Class object

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - If the class could not be found.

ClassLoader.findClass(java.lang.String)

getResourceAsStream

public InputStream getResourceAsStream(String name)

Open for reading, a resource of the specified name from the search path used to load classes. This method locates the resource through the system class loader (see getSystemClassLoader()).

Overrides:

getResourceAsStream in class ClassLoader

Parameters:

name - the name of the resource.

Returns:

An input stream for reading the resource, or null if the resource could not be found.
