public class DynamicClassLoader
extends ClassLoader

This custom ClassLoader provides support for dynamically generating classes within an EclipseLink application using byte codes created using a DynamicClassWriter. A DynamicClassLoader requires a parent or delegate class-loader which is provided to the constructor. This delegate class loader handles the lookup and storage of all created classes.

Since:

EclipseLink 1.2

Field Detail

defaultWriter

public DynamicClassWriter defaultWriter

Default writer to use if one is not specified.

Constructor Detail

DynamicClassLoader

public DynamicClassLoader(ClassLoader delegate)

Create a DynamicClassLoader providing the delegate loader and leaving the defaultWriter as DynamicClassWriter

DynamicClassLoader

public DynamicClassLoader(ClassLoader delegate,
                          DynamicClassWriter writer)

Create a DynamicClassLoader providing the delegate loader and a default DynamicClassWriter.

Method Detail

getDefaultWriter

public DynamicClassWriter getDefaultWriter()

getClassWriter

public DynamicClassWriter getClassWriter(String className)

addEnum

public void addEnum(String className,
                    Object... literalLabels)

addClass

public void addClass(String className)

Register a class to be dynamically created using the default DynamicClassWriter.

See Also:

addClass(String, DynamicClassWriter)

addClass

public void addClass(String className,
                     Class<?> parentClass)

Register a class to be dynamically created using a copy of default DynamicClassWriter but specifying a different parent class.

See Also:

addClass(String, DynamicClassWriter)

addClass

public void addClass(String className,
                     DynamicClassWriter writer)
              throws DynamicException

Register a class to be dynamically created using the provided DynamicClassWriter. The registered writer is used when the findClass(String) method is called back on this loader from the ClassLoader.loadClass(String) call.

If a duplicate request is made for the same className and the writers are not compatible a DynamicException will be thrown. If the duplicate request contains a compatible writer then the second request is ignored as the class may already have been generated.

Throws:

DynamicException

findClass(String)

createDynamicClass

public Class<?> createDynamicClass(String className,
                                   DynamicClassWriter writer)

Create a dynamic class registering a writer and then forcing the provided class name to be loaded.

createDynamicClass

public Class<?> createDynamicClass(String className)

Create a new dynamic entity type for the specified name assuming the use of the default writer and its default parent class.

See Also:

#creatDynamicClass(String, DynamicClassWriter)

createDynamicClass

public Class<?> createDynamicClass(String className,
                                   Class<?> parentClass)

Create a new dynamic entity type for the specified name with the specified parent class.

See Also:

#creatDynamicClass(String, DynamicClassWriter)

lookup

public static DynamicClassLoader lookup(Session session)

Lookup the DynamicConversionManager for the given session. If the existing ConversionManager is not an instance of DynamicConversionManager then create a new one and replace the existing one.

Parameters:

session -

Returns:
