Hello.
I'm trying to define a custom classloader to create certain classes at runtime.
My classloader itself is just deriving from ClassLoadder and overriding the findClass with something like
@Override
protected Class<?> findClass(String className) throws ClassNotFoundException {
ClassLoader parentLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
if(className.equals("classToBeCreatedAtRuntime")){
Class c = createClass(className);
return c;
}else{
return Class.forName(className, true, parentLoader);
}
}
What I want from my classloader is to create and load class at runtime if needed or just delegate the responsibility to parent class loader.
The main problem I face is to "push" my custom loader into the delegation chain. I've tried to set it with Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader but I'm getting classcast exceptions, so this doesn't seems like a right way.
Am I missing something? How this can be achieved?
Thanks a lot.
