public class ModuleClassLoader
extends ConcurrentClassLoader

A module classloader. Instances of this class implement the complete view of classes and resources available in a module. Contrast with Module, which has API methods to access the exported view of classes and resources.

Constructor Detail

ModuleClassLoader

protected ModuleClassLoader(ModuleClassLoader.Configuration configuration)

Construct a new instance.

Parameters:

configuration - the module class loader configuration to use

Method Detail

findClass

protected final Class<?> findClass(String className,
                 boolean exportsOnly,
                 boolean resolve)
                            throws ClassNotFoundException

Find a class, possibly delegating to other loader(s). This method should never synchronize across a delegation method call of any sort. The default implementation always throws ClassNotFoundException.

If a class is to be defined by this method, it should be done via one of the atomic defineOrLoadClass methods rather than defineClass() in order to avoid spurious exceptions.

Overrides:

findClass in class ConcurrentClassLoader

Parameters:

className - the class name

exportsOnly - true if only exported classes should be considered

resolve - true if the class should be linked after loading

Returns:

the class

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the class is not found

loadClassLocal

public Class<?> loadClassLocal(String className)
                        throws ClassNotFoundException

Load a class from this class loader.

Parameters:

className - the class name to load

Returns:

the loaded class or null if it was not found

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if an exception occurs while loading the class or its dependencies

loadClassLocal

public Class<?> loadClassLocal(String className,
                      boolean resolve)
                        throws ClassNotFoundException

Load a local class from this class loader.

Parameters:

className - the class name

resolve - true to resolve the loaded class

Returns:

the loaded class or null if it was not found

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if an error occurs while loading the class

loadResourceLocal

public List<Resource> loadResourceLocal(String name)

Load a local resource from this class loader.

Parameters:

name - the resource name

Returns:

the list of resources

preDefine

protected void preDefine(ClassSpec classSpec,
             String className)

A hook which is invoked before a class is defined.

Parameters:

classSpec - the class spec of the defined class

className - the class to be defined

postDefine

protected void postDefine(ClassSpec classSpec,
              Class<?> definedClass)

A hook which is invoked after a class is defined.

Parameters:

classSpec - the class spec of the defined class

definedClass - the class that was defined

findLibrary

protected final String findLibrary(String libname)

Find a library from one of the resource loaders.

Overrides:

findLibrary in class ClassLoader

Parameters:

libname - the library name

Returns:

the full absolute path to the library

findResource

public final URL findResource(String name,
               boolean exportsOnly)

Find the resource with the given name and exported status.

Overrides:

findResource in class ConcurrentClassLoader

Parameters:

name - the resource name

exportsOnly - true to consider only exported resources or false to consider all resources

Returns:

the resource URL

See Also:

ConcurrentClassLoader.getResource(String)

findResources

public final Enumeration<URL> findResources(String name,
                             boolean exportsOnly)
                                     throws IOException

Finds the resources with the given name and exported status.

Overrides:

findResources in class ConcurrentClassLoader

Parameters:

name - the resource name

exportsOnly - true to consider only exported resources or false to consider all resources

Returns:

the resource enumeration

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

See Also:

ConcurrentClassLoader.getResources(String)

findResourceAsStream

public final InputStream findResourceAsStream(String name,
                               boolean exportsOnly)

Finds the resource with the given name and exported status, returning the resource content as a stream.

Overrides:

findResourceAsStream in class ConcurrentClassLoader

Parameters:

name - the resource name

exportsOnly - true to consider only exported resources or false to consider all resources

Returns:

the resource stream, or null if the resource is not found

getModule

Get the module for this class loader.

Returns:

the module

toString

public final String toString()

Get a string representation of this class loader.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

the newly defined package, or the existing one if one was already defined

iterateResources

public final Iterator<Resource> iterateResources(String startName,
                                  boolean recurse)

Iterate the resources within this module class loader. Only resource roots which are inherently iterable will be checked, thus the result of this method may only be a subset of the actual loadable resources. The returned resources are not sorted or grouped in any particular way.

Parameters:

startName - the directory name to search

recurse - true to recurse into subdirectories, false otherwise

Returns:

the resource iterator
