Change classloader
- by Chris
I'm trying to switch the class loader at runtime:
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final InjectingClassLoader classLoader = new InjectingClassLoader();
Thread.currentThread().setContextClassLoader(classLoader);
Thread thread = new Thread("test") {
public void run() {
System.out.println("running...");
// approach 1
ClassLoader cl = TestProxy.class.getClassLoader();
try {
Class c = classLoader.loadClass("classloader.TestProxy");
Object o = c.newInstance();
c.getMethod("test", new Class[] {}).invoke(o);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// approach 2
new TestProxy().test();
};
};
thread.setContextClassLoader(classLoader);
thread.start();
}
}
and:
public class TestProxy {
public void test() {
ClassLoader tcl = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
ClassLoader ccl = ClassToLoad.class.getClassLoader();
ClassToLoad classToLoad = new ClassToLoad();
}
}
(it is not relevant what the InjectingClassLoader is)
I'd like to make the result of "approach 1" and "approach 2" exactly same, but it looks like thread.setContextClassLoader(classLoader) does nothing and the "approach 2" always uses the system classloader (can be determined by comparing tcl and ccl variables while debugging).
Is it possible to make all classes loaded by new thread use given classloader?
