public static ClassLoader getSystemClassLoader()

getContextClassLoader

@Nullable
public static ClassLoader getContextClassLoader()

setContextClassLoader

public static void setContextClassLoader(@Nonnull
                                         ClassLoader aClassLoader)

getClassClassLoader

@Nullable
public static ClassLoader getClassClassLoader(@Nonnull
                                              Class<?> aClass)

getParentClassLoader

@Nullable
public static ClassLoader getParentClassLoader(@Nonnull
                                               ClassLoader aClassLoader)

getDefaultClassLoader

@Nonnull
public static ClassLoader getDefaultClassLoader()

getResource

@Nullable
public static URL getResource(@Nonnull
                              ClassLoader aClassLoader,
                              @Nonnull @Nonempty
                              String sPath)

Get the URL of the passed resource using the specified class loader only. This is a sanity wrapper around classLoader.getResource (sPath).

Parameters:

aClassLoader - The class loader to be used. May not be null.

sPath - The path to be resolved. May neither be null nor empty. Internally it is ensured that the provided path does NOT start with a slash.

Returns:

null if the path could not be resolved using the specified class loader.

getResources

@Nonnull
public static Enumeration<URL> getResources(@Nonnull
                                            ClassLoader aClassLoader,
                                            @Nonnull @Nonempty
                                            String sPath)
                                     throws IOException

Get all URLs of the passed resource using the specified class loader only. This is a sanity wrapper around classLoader.getResources (sPath).

Parameters:

aClassLoader - The class loader to be used. May not be null.

sPath - The path to be resolved. May neither be null nor empty. Internally it is ensured that the provided path does NOT start with a slash.

Returns:

null if the path could not be resolved using the specified class loader.

Throws:

IOException - In case an internal error occurs.

                                              String sPath)

Get the input stream of the passed resource using the specified class loader only. This is a sanity wrapper around classLoader.getResourceAsStream (sPath).

Parameters:

aClassLoader - The class loader to be used. May not be null.

sPath - The path to be resolved. May neither be null nor empty. Internally it is ensured that the provided path does NOT start with a slash.
