Class SyntheticRepository

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Repository
    public class SyntheticRepository
extends MemorySensitiveClassPathRepository
    This repository is used in situations where a Class is created outside the realm of a ClassLoader. Classes are loaded from the file systems using the paths specified in the given class path. By default, this is the value returned by ClassPath.getClassPath().

    This repository uses a factory design, allowing it to maintain a collection of different classpaths, and as such It is designed to be used as a singleton per classpath.

      • loadClass

        public JavaClass loadClass​(java.lang.Class<?> clazz)
                    throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
        Finds the JavaClass object for a runtime Class object. If a class with the same name is already in this Repository, the Repository version is returned. Otherwise, getResourceAsStream() is called on the Class object to find the class's representation. If the representation is found, it is added to the Repository.
        Specified by:
        loadClass in interface Repository
        Parameters:
        clazz - The runtime Class object.
        Returns:
        JavaClass object for given runtime class.
        Throws:
        java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - Thrown if the class is not in the Repository, and its representation could not be found

        public JavaClass loadClass​(java.lang.String className)
                    throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
        Finds a JavaClass object by name. If it is already in this Repository, the Repository version is returned. Otherwise, the Repository's classpath is searched for the class (and it is added to the Repository if found).

        loadClass in interface Repository
        Parameters:
        className - The name of the class.
