Provides the implementation for
RMIClassLoader.loadClass(URL,String),
RMIClassLoader.loadClass(String,String), and
RMIClassLoader.loadClass(String,String,ClassLoader).
Loads a class from a codebase URL path, optionally using the
supplied loader.
Typically, a provider implementation will attempt to
resolve the named class using the given defaultLoader,
if specified, before attempting to resolve the class from the
codebase URL path.
An implementation of this method must either return a class with the given name or throw an exception.
codebase | the list of URLs (separated by spaces) to load
the class from, or null | |
name | the name of the class to load | |
defaultLoader | additional contextual class loader
to use, or null |
Class object representing the loaded class
MalformedURLException | if codebase is
non-null and contains an invalid URL, or
if codebase is null and a provider-specific
URL used to load classes is invalid | |
ClassNotFoundException | if a definition for the class could not be found at the specified location |
