All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, ClassFileLocator

Enclosing class:

ClassFileLocator.ForClassLoader

public static class ClassFileLocator.ForClassLoader.WeaklyReferenced
extends WeakReference<ClassLoader>
implements ClassFileLocator

A class file locator that queries a class loader for binary representations of class files. The class loader is only weakly referenced.

Important: Even when calling Closeable.close() on this class file locator, no underlying class loader is closed if it implements the Closeable interface as this is typically not intended.

Constructor Detail

WeaklyReferenced

protected WeaklyReferenced(ClassLoader classLoader)

Creates a class file locator for a class loader that is weakly referenced.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to represent.

Method Detail

of

public static ClassFileLocator of(ClassLoader classLoader)

Creates a class file locator for a given class loader. If the class loader is not the bootstrap class loader or the system class loader which cannot be collected, the class loader is only weakly referenced.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to be used. If this class loader represents the bootstrap class loader which is represented by the null value, this system class loader is used instead.

Returns:

A corresponding source locator.

locate

public ClassFileLocator.Resolution locate(String name)
                                   throws IOException

Locates the class file for a given type and returns the binary data of the class file.

Specified by:

locate in interface ClassFileLocator

Parameters:

name - The name of the type to locate a class file representation for.

Returns:

Any binary representation of the type which might be illegal.

Throws:

IOException - If reading a class file causes an error.

close

public void close()

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

equals

public boolean equals(Object other)

Overrides:

equals in class Object
