public class PreferredClassLoader extends RFC3986URLClassLoader implements ClassAnnotation, AdvisoryDynamicPermissions
A preferred class is a class that is to be loaded by a class loader without the loader delegating to its parent class loader first. Resources may also be preferred.
Like URLClassLoader,
PreferredClassLoader loads classes and resources from
a search path of URLs. If a URL in the path ends with a
'/', it is assumed to refer to a directory; otherwise,
the URL is assumed to refer to a JAR file.
The location of the first URL in the path can contain a
preferred list for the entire path. A preferred list
declares names of certain classes and other resources throughout
the path as being preferred or not. When a
PreferredClassLoader is asked to load a class or
resource that is preferred (according to the preferred list) and
the class or resource exists in the loader's path of URLs, the
loader will not delegate first to its parent class loader as it
otherwise would do; instead, it will attempt to load the class or
resource from its own path of URLs only.
The preferred list for a path of URLs, if one exists, is located
relative to the first URL in the path. If the first URL refers to
a JAR file, then the preferred list is the contents of the file
named "META-INF/PREFERRED.LIST" within that JAR file.
If the first URL refers to a directory, then the preferred list is
the contents of the file at the location
"META-INF/PREFERRED.LIST" relative to that directory
URL. If there is no preferred list at the required location, then
no classes or resources are preferred for the path of URLs. A
preferred list at any other location (such as relative to one of
the other URLs in the path) is ignored.
Note that a class or resource is only considered to be preferred if the preferred list declares the name of the class or resource as being preferred and the class or resource actually exists in the path of URLs.
'#', the line is a comment and is
equivalent to a blank line.
The first line of a preferred list must contain a version number in the following format:
PreferredResources-Version: 1.x
This specification defines only version 1.0, but
PreferredClassLoader will parse any version
1.x, x>=0 with the format and semantics specified
here.
After the version number line, a preferred list comprises an optional default preferred entry followed by zero or more named preferred entries. A preferred list must contain either a default preferred entry or at least one named preferred entry. Blank lines are allowed before and after preferred entries, as well as between the lines of a named preferred entry.
A default preferred entry is a single line in the following format:
Preferred: preferred-setting
where preferred-setting is a non-empty sequence of
characters. If preferred-setting equals "true"
(case insensitive), then resource names not matched by any of the
named preferred entries are by default preferred; otherwise,
resource names not matched by any of the named preferred entries
are by default not preferred. If there is no default preferred
entry, then resource names are by default not preferred.
A named preferred entry is two lines in the following format:
Name: name-expression
Preferred: preferred-setting
where name-expression and preferred-setting are
non-empty sequences of characters. If preferred-setting
equals "true" (case insensitive), then resource names
that are matched by name-expression (and not any more
specific named preferred entries) are preferred; otherwise,
resource names that are matched by name-expression (and not
any more specific named preferred entries) are not preferred.
If name-expression ends with ".class", it
matches a class whose binary name is name-expression without
the ".class" suffix and with each '/'
character replaced with a '.'. It also matches any
class whose binary name starts with that same value followed by a
'$'; this rule is intended to match nested classes
that have an enclosing class of that name, so that the preferred
settings of a class and all of its nested classes are the same by
default. It is possible, but strongly discouraged, to override the
preferred setting of a nested class with a named preferred entry
that explicitly matches the nested class's binary name.
name-expression may match arbitrary resource names as
well as class names, with path elements separated by
'/' characters.
If name-expression ends with "/" or
"/*", then the entry is a directory wildcard entry
that matches all resources (including classes) in the named
directory. If name-expression ends with "/-",
then the entry is a namespace wildcard entry that matches all
resources (including classes) in the named directory and all of its
subdirectories.
When more than one named preferred entry matches a class or resource name, then the most specific entry takes precedence. A non-wildcard entry is more specific than a wildcard entry. A directory wildcard entry is more specific than a namespace wildcard entry. A namespace wildcard entry with more path elements is more specific than a namespace wildcard entry with fewer path elements. Given two non-wildcard entries, the entry with the longer name-expression is more specific (this rule is only significant when matching a class). The order of named preferred entries is insignificant.
Following is an example preferred list:
PreferredResources-Version: 1.0
Preferred: false
Name: com/foo/FooBar.class
Preferred: true
Name: com/foo/*
Preferred: false
Name: com/foo/-
Preferred: true
Name: image-files/*
Preferred: mumble
The class com.foo.FooBar is preferred, as well as
any nested classes that have it as an enclosing class. All other
classes in the com.foo package are not preferred
because of the directory wildcard entry. Classes in subpackages of
com.foo are preferred because of the namespace
wildcard entry. Resources in the directory "com/foo/"
are not preferred, and resources in subdirectories of
"com/foo/" are preferred. Resources in the directory
"image-files/" are not preferred because preferred
settings other than "true" are interpreted as false.
Classes that are in a package named com.bar are not
preferred because of the default preferred entry.

PreferredClassLoader that loads

delegates to the specified parent class loader.
If exportAnnotation is not null,
then it will be used as the return value of the loader's getClassAnnotation method. If
exportAnnotation is null, the
loader's getClassAnnotation method will return a
space-separated list of the URLs in the specified path. The
exportAnnotation parameter can be used to specify
so-called "export" URLs, from which other parties should load
classes defined by the loader and which are different from the
"import" URLs that the classes are actually loaded from.
If requireDlPerm is true, the
loader's getPermissions method will
require that the CodeSource of any class defined by the
loader is granted DownloadPermission.

PreferredClassLoader that loads

PreferredClassLoader implements this method as
follows:
This method first invokes findLoadedClass with name; if
findLoadedClass returns a non-null
Class, then this method returns that
Class.
Otherwise, this method invokes isPreferredResource with name as the first
argument and true as the second argument:
isPreferredResource throws an
IOException, then this method throws a
ClassNotFoundException containing the
IOException as its cause.
isPreferredResource returns
true, then this method invokes findClass with name. If findClass
throws an exception, then this method throws that exception.
Otherwise, this method returns the Class returned
by findClass, and if resolve is
true, resolveClass is
invoked with the Class before returning.
isPreferredResource returns
false, then this method invokes the superclass
implementation of loadClass with name and resolve and
returns the result. If the superclass's loadClass
throws an exception, then this method throws that exception.
