Description

publicabstract abstract class RMIClassLoaderSpi

RMIClassLoaderSpi is the service provider interface for RMIClassLoader.

RMIClassLoaderSpi is the service provider interface for
RMIClassLoader.

In particular, an RMIClassLoaderSpi instance provides an
implementation of the following static methods of
RMIClassLoader:

When one of those methods is invoked, its behavior is to delegate
to a corresponding method on an instance of this class.
The details of how each method delegates to the provider instance is
described in the documentation for each particular method.
See the documentation for RMIClassLoader for a description

publicabstract String getClassAnnotation (Class<Object> cl)

Provides the implementation for RMIClassLoader.getClassAnnotation(Class).

Provides the implementation for
RMIClassLoader.getClassAnnotation(Class).

Returns the annotation string (representing a location for
the class definition) that RMI will use to annotate the class
descriptor when marshalling objects of the given class.
Returns: a string to be used to annotate the given class when it gets marshalled, or null
Parameters:
- cl - the class to obtain the annotation for
Throws:
- NullPointerException - if cl is null

publicabstract ClassLoader getClassLoader (String codebase) throws MalformedURLException

Provides the implementation for RMIClassLoader.getClassLoader(String).

publicabstract Class<Object> loadClass (String codebase, String name, ClassLoader defaultLoader) throws MalformedURLException ClassNotFoundException

Provides the implementation for RMIClassLoader.loadClass(URL,String), RMIClassLoader.loadClass(String,String), and RMIClassLoader.loadClass(String,String,ClassLoader).

Provides the implementation for RMIClassLoader.loadClass(URL,String), RMIClassLoader.loadClass(String,String), and RMIClassLoader.loadClass(String,String,ClassLoader). Loads a class from a codebase URL path, optionally using the supplied loader. Typically, a provider implementation will attempt to resolve the named class using the given defaultLoader, if specified, before attempting to resolve the class from the codebase URL path.

An implementation of this method must either return a class with the given name or throw an exception.
Returns: the Class object representing the loaded class
Parameters:
- codebase - the list of URLs (separated by spaces) to load the class from, or null
- name - the name of the class to load
- defaultLoader - additional contextual class loader to use, or null
Throws:
- MalformedURLException - if codebase is non-null and contains an invalid URL, or if codebase is null and a provider-specific URL used to load classes is invalid
- ClassNotFoundException - if a definition for the class could not be found at the specified location

publicabstract Class<Object> loadProxyClass (String codebase, String interfaces, ClassLoader defaultLoader) throws MalformedURLException ClassNotFoundException

Provides the implementation for RMIClassLoader.loadProxyClass(String,String[],ClassLoader).
