Class Overview

SecureClassLoader represents a ClassLoader which associates the classes it loads with a code source and provide mechanisms to allow the relevant permissions to be retrieved.

Summary

int	hashCode() Returns an integer hash code for this object.
final void	notify() Causes a thread which is waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
final void	notifyAll() Causes all threads which are waiting on this object's monitor (by means of calling one of the `wait()` methods) to be woken up.
String	toString() Returns a string containing a concise, human-readable description of this object.
final void	wait(long millis, int nanos) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait(long millis) Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object or until the specified timeout expires.
final void	wait() Causes the calling thread to wait until another thread calls the `notify()` or `notifyAll()` method of this object.

Protected Constructors

protected SecureClassLoader ()

Since: API Level 1

Constructs a new instance of SecureClassLoader. The default parent ClassLoader is used.

If a SecurityManager is installed, code calling this constructor needs the SecurityPermission checkCreateClassLoader to be granted, otherwise a SecurityException will be thrown.

Throws

SecurityException	if a `SecurityManager` is installed and the caller does not have permission to invoke this constructor.

protected SecureClassLoader (ClassLoader parent)

Since: API Level 1

Constructs a new instance of SecureClassLoader with the specified parent ClassLoader.

If a SecurityManager is installed, code calling this constructor needs the SecurityPermission checkCreateClassLoader to be granted, otherwise a SecurityException will be thrown.

Parameters

parent	the parent `ClassLoader`.

Throws

SecurityException	if a `SecurityManager` is installed and the caller does not have permission to invoke this constructor.

Protected Methods

protected final Class<?> defineClass (String name, ByteBuffer b, CodeSource cs)

Since: API Level 1

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.

Throws

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."

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

Since: API Level 1

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."

protected PermissionCollection getPermissions (CodeSource codesource)

Since: API Level 1

Returns the PermissionCollection for the specified CodeSource.

Parameters

codesource	the code source.

Returns

the PermissionCollection for the specified CodeSource.
