java类加载器主要分为如下几种:
- jvm提供的类加载器
- 根类加载器:底层实现,主要加载java核心类库(如:java.lang.*)
- 扩展类加载器:使用java代码实现,主要加载如:jre/lib/ext/ 下的扩展类库。(父类加载器为根类加载器)
- 系统类加载器(应用类加载器):使用java代码实现,加载classpath目录下的类。(父类加载器为扩展类加载器)
- 用户自定义类加载器:去继承ClassLoader类实现自定义类加载器。
类加载器负责将java字节码文件加载到虚拟机内存中也就是类的生命周期的装载过程。(如下为类的生命周期)
下面是用户自定义类加载器的实现过程及代码:
实现一个用户自定义类加载器需要去继承ClassLoader类并重写findClass方法,代码如下
package com.space;
import java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
public class MyClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
private String path="/home/luciel/"; //默认加载路径
private String name; //类加载器名称
private final String filetype=".class"; //文件类型
public MyClassLoader(String name) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
super();
this.name=name;
}
public MyClassLoader(ClassLoader parent,String name){
super(parent);
this.name=name;
}
@Override
public Class<?> findClass(String name) throws ClassNotFoundException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
byte[] b=loadClassData(name);
return defineClass(name, b, 0, b.length);
}
private byte[] loadClassData(String name) {
byte[] data=null;
InputStream in=null;
name=name.replace('.', '/');
ByteArrayOutputStream out=new ByteArrayOutputStream();
try {
in=new FileInputStream(new File(path+name+filetype));
int len=0;
while(-1!=(len=in.read())){
out.write(len);
}
data=out.toByteArray();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}finally{
try {
in.close();
out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
return data;
}
public String getPath() {
return path;
}
public void setPath(String path) {
this.path = path;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
return this.name;
}
}
public MyClassLoader(String name) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
super();
this.name=name;
}
这个构造方法中去调用ClassLoader无参构造方法从ClassLoader源码中可以得出:调用此构造方法会让系统类加载器成为该类加载器的父加载器。(注意:此处父类加载器不一定是继承关系,只是一种包装关系)。
在重写findClass方法时参照java API中实现一个网络类加载器的例子,API例子如下:
class NetworkClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
String host;
int port;
public Class findClass(String name) {
byte[] b = loadClassData(name);
return defineClass(name, b, 0, b.length);
}
private byte[] loadClassData(String name) {
// load the class data from the connection
. . .
}
}
下面是测试类以及main方法类的测试代码:
1 package com.space;
2
3 public class Color {
4 public Color() {
5 // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
6 System.out.println("Color is loaded by "+this.getClass().getClassLoader());
7
8 }
9 }
1 package com.space;
2
3 public class Red extends Color{
4
5 public Red() {
6 // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
7 System.out.println("Red is loaded by "+this.getClass().getClassLoader());
8
9 }
10
11 }
1 package com.space;
2
3 public class TestMyClassLoader {
4
5 public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
6
7 MyClassLoader loader1=new MyClassLoader("loader1");
8
9 loader1.setPath("/home/luciel/test1/");
10
11 MyClassLoader loader2=new MyClassLoader(loader1, "loader2");
12
13 loader2.setPath("/home/luciel/test2/");
14
15 MyClassLoader loader3=new MyClassLoader(null, "loader3");
16
17 loader3.setPath("/home/luciel/test3/");
18
19 loadClassByMyClassLoader("com.space.Red",loader2);
20
21 loadClassByMyClassLoader("com.space.Red",loader3);
22 }
23
24 private static void loadClassByMyClassLoader(String name,ClassLoader loader) throws Exception{
25
26 Class<?> c=loader.loadClass(name);
27 Object obj=c.newInstance();
28 }
29
30 }
按照main方法中给三个类加载器传入的路径创建相应的环境并将com.space.Red、com.space.Color的class类拷贝到
/home/luciel/test1/和/home/luciel/test2/以及/home/luciel/test3/目录中去将com.space.TestMyClassLoader类和com.space.MyClassLoader拷贝
/home/luciel/main/ 中去并在该目录下执行
最终运行结果如下显示:
[root@localhost main]# java com.space.TestMyClassLoader
Color is loaded by loader1
Red is loaded by loader1
Color is loaded by loader3
Red is loaded by loader3
loadClassByMyClassLoader("com.space.Red",loader2);如测试代码中 我们调用了loader2去加载Red类但Red类却打印出由loader1加载,这是由于类加载器秉承的是父委托机制loader2在创建时包装了loader1为其父类加载器,而loader1创建时由于调用的是没有传入父类加载器的构造方法,因此它的父加载器为系统类加载器。因此几个加载器的关系如下:
由于loader1的路径下有Red类class文件所以loader1可以加载,因此载Red类构造方法中打印的类加载器为loader1.
我门看似只去加载了Red类但运行结果却将Color父类加载了,而且Color类的加载在Red类之前,那是由于Red类主动使用 了Color类,因此在初始化Red类之前必须先初始化Color类,要初始化就必须先加载,所以先打印出了Color类的输出信息。(关于类的主动使用大家如果不清楚可以查查,一共有6种)
loadClassByMyClassLoader("com.space.Red",loader3);再分析第二个测试代码,由于loader3创建时传入的父类加载器为 null,看下面关于ClassLoader类源码部分代码或查看java API
/**
* Returns the parent class loader for delegation. Some implementations may
* use <tt>null</tt> to represent the bootstrap class loader. This method
* will return <tt>null</tt> in such implementations if this class loader's
* parent is the bootstrap class loader.
*
* <p> If a security manager is present, and the invoker's class loader is
* not <tt>null</tt> and is not an ancestor of this class loader, then this

* <tt>checkPermission</tt>} method with a {@link

* <tt>RuntimePermission("getClassLoader")</tt>} permission to verify

*
* @return The parent <tt>ClassLoader</tt>
*
* @throws SecurityException

*/
@CallerSensitive
public final ClassLoader getParent() {
if (parent == null)
return null;
SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManager();
if (sm != null) {
checkClassLoaderPermission(parent, Reflection.getCallerClass());
}
return parent;
}
getParent方法的说明如下部分文字:
Returns the parent class loader for delegation. Some implementations may * use <tt>null</tt> to represent the bootstrap class loader. This method * will return <tt>null</tt> in such implementations if this class loader's * parent is the bootstrap class loader.
意思是说我们可以使用null表示 the bootstrap class loader(根类加载器)那么loader3的父类加载器就是** 根类加载器 **,而根类加载器只会去加载那些系统核心类库,显然我们的Red和Color类不属于此范围,而就只能让loader3加载,loader3的加载路径下有这两个类对应的字节码可以成功加载,所以大引出Red和Color类的类加载器为loader3
以上是自己最近在学习jvm时有关类加载器的相关知识总结。
