Download as PPTX, PDF7 likes2,409 views
The document provides an overview of Java class loaders, detailing their functionality, phases of class loading, and various types of class loading exceptions. It explains the process of loading classes into the Java Virtual Machine (JVM), including the delegation model and the roles of different class loaders. Additionally, it highlights the importance and power of class loaders in dynamically managing class definitions and ensuring security in Java applications.

- 39. ClassNotFoundException • These calls below and the class is not found • Class.forName() • ClassLoader.findSystemClass() • ClassLoader.loadClass() • N.B. Unsuccessful Explicit attempt to load class
- 40. NoClassDefFoundException • JVM or CL instance tries to load class and the class is not found while • in regular method call • creating a new instance using the ‘new’ • N.B. Unsuccessful Implicit class load
- 41. ClassCastException • Casting an object to a subclass of which it is not an instance. • i.e. Integer val = (Integer) new String(“1234”); • or
- 42. UnsatisfiedLinkError •Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriate native language definition of a method declared native. i.e.
- 43. ClassCircularityError •Java Virtual Machine cannot find an appropriate native language definition of a method declared native. i.e. Class A Class B extends A Class B Class A extends B A.class B.class A.class B.class B.class A.classTry to load this two classes
- 45. Power of Class Loader •Dynamically loading desired classes •Loading different versions of the classes •Generating new class definitions on the fly •Verify custom code signature before executing code •Use encrypted* bytecodes in program Most of the programs don’t need to mess with Class Loader.
