Class ClassResolver

    java.lang.Object
      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.

Nested Class Summary
`static class` | `ClassResolver.Stream` A specialized ObjectInputStream that supports use of a user-specified ClassLoader.

Constructor Summary
`ClassResolver()`

Method Summary
`static Class` | `resolveClass(String className, ClassLoader classLoader)` A specialized Class.forName method that supports use of a user-specified ClassLoader.

Method Detail

### 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`
