Method Detail

getDefaultClassLoader

public static ClassLoader getDefaultClassLoader()

Return the default ClassLoader to use: typically the thread context ClassLoader, if available; the ClassLoader that loaded the ClassUtils class will be used as fallback.

Call this method if you intend to use the thread context ClassLoader in a scenario where you clearly prefer a non-null ClassLoader reference: for example, for class path resource loading (but not necessarily for Class.forName, which accepts a null ClassLoader reference as well).

Returns:

the default ClassLoader (only null if even the system ClassLoader isn't accessible)

isEnum

public static boolean isEnum(Class<?> clazz)

See https://github.com/neo4j/neo4j-ogm/issues/643. An enum instance that overrides methods of the enum itself is realized as an anonymous inner class for which Class.isEnum() returns false.

Parameters:

clazz - The class to check whether it is an enum or not.

Returns:

True, if clazz is an enum.

isEnum

public static boolean isEnum(Object object)

Parameters:

object -

Returns:

True, if the object is an enum instance.
