Default constructor

Method Detail

setBytecodeSource

public void setBytecodeSource(BytecodeSource bs)

Sets the reference to the original bytecode loader. By default, the value is null. If the value is null, then there is the possibility for a link error.

addClass

public void addClass(java.lang.String name,
                     byte[] bytecode)

Add a new class to the internal list.

loadClass

public java.lang.Class loadClass(java.lang.String name,
                                 boolean resolve)
                          throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException - thrown if the given class name could not be found, or if there was a problem loading the bytecode for the class.

getBytecode

protected byte[] getBytecode(java.lang.String className)

Retrieves the internal bytecode for the given class. If not known, then will attempt to pass it to the bytecode source.

Parameters:

className - a non-null class name.
