          org.apache.axis.utils.JWSClassLoader

public class JWSClassLoader
extends java.lang.ClassLoader

Class loader for JWS files. There is one of these per JWS class, and we keep a static Hashtable of them, indexed by class name. When we want to reload a JWS, we replace the ClassLoader for that class and let the old one get GC'ed.

Constructor Summary
`JWSClassLoader(java.lang.String name, java.lang.ClassLoader cl, java.lang.String classFile)` Construct a JWSClassLoader with a class name, a parent ClassLoader, and a filename of a .class file containing the bytecode for the class.

Method Summary
`java.io.InputStream` `getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String resourceName)` Overloaded getResourceAsStream() so we can be sure to return the correct class file regardless of where it might live on our hard drive.

Constructor Detail

### JWSClassLoader

    public JWSClassLoader(java.lang.String name,
                          java.lang.ClassLoader cl,
                          java.lang.String classFile)
                   throws java.io.FileNotFoundException,
                          java.io.IOException

  Construct a JWSClassLoader with a class name, a parent ClassLoader, and a filename of a .class file containing the bytecode for the class. The constructor will load the bytecode, define the class, and register this JWSClassLoader in the static registry.

Parameters:
  `name` - the name of the class which will be created/loaded
  `cl` - the parent ClassLoader
  `classFile` - filename of the .class file
Throws:
  `java.io.FileNotFoundException`
  `java.io.IOException`

Method Detail

### getResourceAsStream

    public java.io.InputStream getResourceAsStream(java.lang.String resourceName)

  Overloaded getResourceAsStream() so we can be sure to return the correct class file regardless of where it might live on our hard drive.

  Parameters:
    `resourceName` - the resource to load (should be "classname.class")
  Returns:
    an InputStream of the class bytes, or null
