Hi all,

I would like to get a list of all the classes loaded in the JVM at a particular point in time. The classes are in a particular package and are accessible via /WEB-INF/classes and not through a jar file in /WEB-INF/lib.

How would I get a list of classes? Would I simply get the classpath, list all the files, then look for the names?
