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

Protected Constructors
	SecureClassLoader () Constructs a new instance of `SecureClassLoader` .
	SecureClassLoader ( ClassLoader parent) Constructs a new instance of `SecureClassLoader` with the specified parent `ClassLoader` .

Protected Methods
final Class <?>	defineClass ( String name, byte[] b, int off, int len, CodeSource cs) Constructs a new class from an array of bytes containing a class definition in class file format with an optional `CodeSource` .
final Class <?>	defineClass ( String name, ByteBuffer b, CodeSource cs) Constructs a new class from an array of bytes containing a class definition in class file format with an optional `CodeSource` .
PermissionCollection	getPermissions ( CodeSource codesource) Returns the `PermissionCollection` for the specified `CodeSource` .

Inherited Methods

From class java.lang.ClassLoader

void	clearAssertionStatus () Sets the default assertion status for this class loader to `false` and removes any package default and class assertion status settings.

Protected Constructors

protected SecureClassLoader ()

Added in API level 1

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