Class loading
In this enlightening section, we dive deep into the intricate world of class loading, a cornerstone of Java’s dynamic and extensible nature. Join us as we unravel the mechanisms behind dynamic class loading, which allows Java applications to adapt and extend their functionality during runtime. We’ll explore ClassLoader
, the unsung hero responsible for dynamically loading Java classes into the JVM. Gain insights into the nuances of the class loader hierarchy, understanding how different class loaders collaborate to assemble the rich tapestry of Java applications. From system class loaders to custom class loaders, we’ll traverse the layers underpinning Java’s ability to incorporate new classes and extend its functionality dynamically. Prepare for a journey into the heart of Java’s runtime dynamics, where the magic of class loading unfolds.
The realm of class loading in Java is delineated by two distinct entities: the bootstrap class...
