Class JadeClassLoader

java.lang.Object

jade.JadeClassLoader

public class JadeClassLoader
extends Object

The Class JadeClassLoader serves as central class that enable class loading by a class name. For this, all methods used within JADE were substituted with corresponding static methods. To enable class loading in an OSGI environment you may implement your own JadeClassLoaderService and use the static method setClassLoaderService(JadeClassLoaderService) to enable its usage.
