Interface DelegatingClassLoader.ClassFinder

Enclosing class:

DelegatingClassLoader

public static interface DelegatingClassLoader.ClassFinder

findClass method of ClassLoader is usually a protected method. Calling loadClass on a ClassLoader is expenssive, as it searches the delegation hierarchy before searching in its private space. Hence we add this interface as an optimization.
