  com.sleepycat.util.ClassResolver

public class ClassResolver
extends Object

Implements policies for loading user-supplied classes. The resolveClass(java.lang.String, java.lang.ClassLoader) method should be used to load all user-supplied classes, and the ClassResolver.Stream class should be used as a replacement for ObjectInputStream to deserialize instances of user-supplied classes.

The ClassLoader specified as a param should be the one configured using EnvironmentConfig.setClassLoader. This loader is used, if non-null. If the loader param is null, but a non-null thread-context loader is available, the latter is used. If the loader param and thread-context loader are both null, or if they fail to load a class by throwing ClassNotFoundException, then the default Java mechanisms for determining the class loader are used.

resolveClass

public static Class resolveClass(String className,
                                 ClassLoader classLoader)
                          throws ClassNotFoundException

A specialized Class.forName method that supports use of a user-specified ClassLoader. If the loader param and thread-context loader are both null, of if they throw ClassNotFoundException, then Class.forName is called and the "current loader" (the one used to load JE) will be used.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException
