 public class ReflectorLoader extends java.lang.ClassLoaderReflector creation helper. This class is used to define the Reflector classes. For each ClassLoader such a loader will be created by MetaClass. Special about this loader is, that it knows the classes form the Groovy Runtime. The Reflector class is resolved in different ways: During the definition of a class Reflector will resolve to the Reflector class of the runtime, even if there is another Reflector class in the parent loader. After the new class is defined Reflector will resolve like other Groovy classes. This loader is able to resolve all Groovy classes even if the parent does not know them, but the parent serves first (Reflector during a class definition is different).

Method Detail- 
findClassprotected java.lang.Class findClass(java.lang.String name) throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundExceptionTries to find a Groovy class.- Overrides:
- findClassin class- java.lang.ClassLoader
- Returns:
- the class if found
- Throws:
- java.lang.ClassNotFoundException- if not found
 
 - 
loadClassprotected java.lang.Class loadClass(java.lang.String name, boolean resolve) throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundExceptionLoads a class per name. Unlike a normal loadClass this version behaves different during a class definition. In that case it checks if the class we want to load is Reflector and returns class if the check is successful. If it is not during a class definition it just calls the super class version of loadClass.- Overrides:
- loadClassin class- java.lang.ClassLoader
- Parameters:
- name- of the class to load
- resolve- is true if the class should be resolved
- Throws:
- java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
- See Also:
- Reflector,- ClassLoader.loadClass(String, boolean)

defineClasspublic java.lang.Class defineClass(java.lang.String name, byte[] bytecode, java.security.ProtectionDomain domain)helper method to define Reflector classes.- Parameters:
- name- of the Reflector
- bytecode- the bytecode
- domain- the protection domain
- Returns:
- the generated class
 
 - 
getLoadedClasspublic java.lang.Class getLoadedClass(java.lang.String name) try to load one of the defined Reflector classes by name.- Parameters:
- name- of the Reflector class
- Returns:
- the Reflector class if defined else null.
