Class SyntheticRepository

java.lang.Object
org.apache.bcel.util.MemorySensitiveClassPathRepository
org.apache.bcel.util.SyntheticRepository
All Implemented Interfaces:
Repository
public class SyntheticRepository extends MemorySensitiveClassPathRepository
This repository is used in situations where a Class is created outside the realm of a ClassLoader. Classes are loaded from the file systems using the paths specified in the given class path. By default, this is the value returned by ClassPath.getClassPath().

This repository uses a factory design, allowing it to maintain a collection of different classpaths, and as such It is designed to be used as a singleton per classpath.

    • getClassPath

      public ClassPath getClassPath()
      Description copied from interface: Repository
      Gets the ClassPath associated with this Repository

    • loadClass

      public JavaClass loadClass(Class<?> clazz) throws ClassNotFoundException
      Finds the JavaClass object for a runtime Class object. If a class with the same name is already in this Repository, the Repository version is returned. Otherwise, getResourceAsStream() is called on the Class object to find the class's representation. If the representation is found, it is added to the Repository.
      Specified by:
      loadClass in interface Repository
      Parameters:
      clazz - the runtime Class object
      Returns:
      JavaClass object for given runtime class
      Throws:
      ClassNotFoundException - if the class is not in the Repository, and its representation could not be found

    • loadClass

      public JavaClass loadClass(String className) throws ClassNotFoundException
      Finds a JavaClass object by name. If it is already in this Repository, the Repository version is returned. Otherwise, the Repository's classpath is searched for the class (and it is added to the Repository if found).
      Specified by:
      loadClass in interface Repository
      Parameters:
      className - the name of the class
      Returns:
      the JavaClass object
      Throws:
      ClassNotFoundException - if the class is not in the Repository, and could not be found on the classpath
