Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
static interface	ClassLoadingStrategy.Configurable<S extends ClassLoader>	A ClassLoadingStrategy that allows configuring the strategy's behavior.
static enum	ClassLoadingStrategy.Default	This class contains implementations of default class loading strategies.
static class	ClassLoadingStrategy.ForBootstrapInjection	A class loading strategy which allows class injection into the bootstrap class loader if appropriate.
static class	ClassLoadingStrategy.ForJnaInjection	A class loading strategy that injects a class using JNA via the JNI DefineClass method.
static class	ClassLoadingStrategy.ForUnsafeInjection	A class loading strategy that injects a class using sun.misc.Unsafe or jdk.internal.misc.Unsafe.
static class	ClassLoadingStrategy.UsingLookup	A class loading strategy that uses a java.lang.invoke.MethodHandles$Lookup instance for defining types.

Field Details

BOOTSTRAP_LOADER

@AlwaysNull

A type-safe constant representing the bootstrap class loader which is represented by null within Java.

NO_PROTECTION_DOMAIN

@AlwaysNull
static final ProtectionDomain NO_PROTECTION_DOMAIN

Method Details

load

Map<TypeDescription, Class<?>> load(@MaybeNull
 T classLoader,
 Map<TypeDescription, byte[]> types)

Loads a given collection of classes given their binary representation.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader to used for loading the classes.

types - Byte array representations of the types to be loaded mapped by their descriptions, where an iteration order defines an order in which they are supposed to be loaded, if relevant.

Returns:

A collection of the loaded classes which will be initialized in the iteration order of the returned collection.
