public class WebClassLoader

extends java.net.URLClassLoader

A simple subclass of URLClassLoader that overrides the getURLs() method to return a different set of URLs for remote loading than what is used for local loading. This class is used in conjunction with the WebService mbean to allow dynamic loading of resources and classes from deployed ears, ejb jars and wars.

Method Detail

getURLs

public java.net.URL[] getURLs()

Get the list of URLs that should be used as the RMI annotated codebase. This is the URLs previously set via setWebURLs. If setWebURLs has not been invoked or was passed in a null value, the super class value of getURLs() is used.

Overrides:

getURLs in class java.net.URLClassLoader

Returns:

the local web URLs if not null, else the value of super.getURLs()

getLocalURLs

the URLs used for local class and resource loading

setWebURLs

public void setWebURLs(java.net.URL[] webURLs)

Set the URLs that should be returned from this classes getURLs() override.

Parameters:
