Parameters:

parent - the parent ClassLoader.

Method Detail

getPermissions

protected PermissionCollection getPermissions(CodeSource codesource)

Returns the PermissionCollection for the specified CodeSource.

Parameters:

codesource - the code source.

Returns:

the PermissionCollection for the specified CodeSource.

defineClass

protected final Class<?> defineClass(String name,
                                     byte[] b,
                                     int off,
                                     int len,
                                     CodeSource cs)

Constructs a new class from an array of bytes containing a class definition in class file format with an optional CodeSource.

Parameters:

name - the name of the new class.

b - a memory image of a class file.

off - the start offset in b of the class data.

len - the length of the class data.

cs - the CodeSource, or null.

Returns:

a new class.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if off or len are not valid in respect to b.

ClassFormatError - if the specified data is not valid class data.

SecurityException - if the package to which this class is to be added, already contains classes which were signed by different certificates, or if the class name begins with "java."

Constructs a new class from an array of bytes containing a class definition in class file format with an optional CodeSource.

Parameters:

name - the name of the new class.

b - a memory image of a class file.

cs - the CodeSource, or null.

Returns:

a new class.
