Direct Known Subclasses:

CachingJavaSourceClassLoader

public class JavaSourceClassLoader
extends AbstractJavaSourceClassLoader

A ClassLoader that, unlike usual ClassLoaders, does not load byte code, but reads Java™ source code and then scans, parses, compiles and loads it into the virtual machine.

As with any ClassLoader, it is not possible to "update" classes after they've been loaded. The way to achieve this is to give up on the JavaSourceClassLoader and create a new one.

Constructor Detail

JavaSourceClassLoader

public JavaSourceClassLoader()

JavaSourceClassLoader

public JavaSourceClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader parentClassLoader)

JavaSourceClassLoader

public JavaSourceClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader parentClassLoader,
                             java.io.File[] optionalSourcePath,
                             java.lang.String optionalCharacterEncoding)

Set up a JavaSourceClassLoader that finds Java™ source code in a file that resides in either of the directories specified by the given source path.

Parameters:

parentClassLoader - See ClassLoader

optionalSourcePath - A collection of directories that are searched for Java™ source files in the given order

optionalCharacterEncoding - The encoding of the Java™ source files (null for platform default encoding)

JavaSourceClassLoader

public JavaSourceClassLoader(java.lang.ClassLoader parentClassLoader,
                             ResourceFinder sourceFinder,
                             java.lang.String optionalCharacterEncoding)

Set up a JavaSourceClassLoader that finds Java™ source code through a given ResourceFinder.

You can specify to include certain debugging information in the generated class files, which is useful if you want to debug through the generated classes (see Scanner.Scanner(String, Reader)).

Parameters:

parentClassLoader - See ClassLoader

sourceFinder - Used to locate additional source files

optionalCharacterEncoding - The encoding of the Java™ source files (null for platform default encoding)

Method Detail

setSourcePath

public void setSourcePath(java.io.File[] sourcePath)

Specified by:

setSourcePath in class AbstractJavaSourceClassLoader

Parameters:

sourcePath - The sequence of directories to search for Java™ source files

setSourceFileCharacterEncoding

public void setSourceFileCharacterEncoding(java.lang.String optionalCharacterEncoding)

Specified by:

setSourceFileCharacterEncoding in class AbstractJavaSourceClassLoader

Parameters:

optionalCharacterEncoding - if null, use platform default encoding

setDebuggingInfo

public void setDebuggingInfo(boolean debugSource,
                             boolean debugLines,
                             boolean debugVars)

Specified by:

setDebuggingInfo in class AbstractJavaSourceClassLoader

Parameters:

debugSource - Whether line number debugging information should be generated

debugLines - Whether variables debugging information should be generated

debugVars - Whether source file debugging information should be generated

setCompileErrorHandler

public void setCompileErrorHandler(ErrorHandler optionalCompileErrorHandler)

See Also:

UnitCompiler.setCompileErrorHandler(org.codehaus.commons.compiler.ErrorHandler)

setWarningHandler

public void setWarningHandler(WarningHandler optionalWarningHandler)

See Also:

Parser.setWarningHandler(WarningHandler), UnitCompiler.setCompileErrorHandler(org.codehaus.commons.compiler.ErrorHandler)

findClass

protected java.lang.Class findClass(java.lang.String name)
                             throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Implementation of ClassLoader.findClass(String).

Overrides:

findClass in class java.lang.ClassLoader

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

generateBytecodes

protected java.util.Map<java.lang.String,byte[]> generateBytecodes(java.lang.String name)
                                                            throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Find, scan, parse the right compilation unit. Compile the parsed compilation unit to bytecode. This may cause more compilation units being scanned and parsed. Continue until all compilation units are compiled.

Returns:

String name => byte[] bytecode, or null if no source code could be found

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - on compilation problems
