Interface LocalLoader

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractLocalLoader

public interface LocalLoader

A loader which implements the local part of a module.

Thread safety warning! The loader must never call into a class loader (or any other object) which may take locks and subsequently delegate to a module class loader. This will cause deadlocks and other hard-to-debug concurrency problems.
