      equip.runtime.MultiClassLoader

Direct Known Subclasses:

FileClassLoader, URLClassLoader

public abstract class MultiClassLoader

extends java.lang.ClassLoader

A simple test class loader capable of loading from multiple sources, such as local files or a URL (probably inherited from elsewhere). Must be subclassed and the abstract method loadClassBytes() implemented to provide the preferred source.

Constructor Summary

MultiClassLoader()

Method Summary

protected java.lang.String	formatClassName(java.lang.String className)
java.lang.Class	loadClass(java.lang.String className) This is a simple version for external clients since they will always want the class resolved before it is returned to them.
java.lang.Class	loadClass(java.lang.String className, boolean resolveIt)
protected abstract byte[]	loadClassBytes(java.lang.String className)
protected void	monitor(java.lang.String text)
protected static void	print(java.lang.String text)
void	setClassNameReplacementChar(char replacement) This optional call allows a class name such as "COM.test.Hello" to be changed to "COM_test_Hello", which is useful for storing classes from different packages in the same retrival directory.

Method Detail

loadClass

public java.lang.Class loadClass(java.lang.String className)
                          throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

This is a simple version for external clients since they will always want the class resolved before it is returned to them.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

loadClass

public java.lang.Class loadClass(java.lang.String className,
                                 boolean resolveIt)
                          throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

setClassNameReplacementChar

public void setClassNameReplacementChar(char replacement)

This optional call allows a class name such as "COM.test.Hello" to be changed to "COM_test_Hello", which is useful for storing classes from different packages in the same retrival directory. In the above example the char would be '_'.

loadClassBytes

protected abstract byte[] loadClassBytes(java.lang.String className)

formatClassName

protected java.lang.String formatClassName(java.lang.String className)

monitor

protected void monitor(java.lang.String text)

print

protected static void print(java.lang.String text)
