Message:

reloading of class

Posted by Manohar on January 24, 2002 at 11:01 PM

I have written a code for reloading of classes. What might be the problem here :

ClassLoaderForDotClass tcl = null;
Class className;
Method methods[];

try
{
/* Load the classloader */
tcl = new ClassLoaderForDotClass();
className = tcl.loadClass(fileName);
methods[] ...
fields[]...
constructors...
}
catch(Exception e)
{ System.out.println(e);}

sClassName = className.getName();
tcl = null;
className = null;
methods = null;
constructors = null;
fields = null;

where the class 'ClassLoaderForDotClass' is similar to the class
'GreeterClassLoader' given in http://www.artima.com/insidejvm/ed2/ch08TheLinkingModelPrint.html
