* Normally, when a classloader receives a request for a resource, it will * consult its parent class loader first for that resource. The parent class * loader is typically the System ClassLoader. If the parent class loader cannot * provide the requested resource, the child class loader will be consulted for * the request. Note: the parent class loader must not be confused by the * superclass of a certain class loader (e.g. SecureClassLoader). The parent * classloader is identified at constuction time and passed in as an constructor * argument. *
* Consulting the parent classloader first can be inconvenient for certain * applications that want guarantees about which classloader is used to load a * certain class. This could be because you want to be certain about where the * resource came from, or you want to protect yourself against (other versions) * of the same class that could be served by the System ClassLoader (e.g. * because someone put them on the classpath or in the extensions directory). *
* For these cases, the FireWallClassLoader can be used. * *
* * System ClassLoader | FireWallClassLoader | User's ClassLoader * ** * The FireWallClassLoader is placed between the user's class loader and the * parent class loader. It has a set of filters that define what classes are * allowed to go through. These filters describe (a groups of) packages, or a * specific classes or resources that are allowed through to the parent * classloader. Take as example this filter set: * *
* ["com.iona.", "javax.servlet.jsp."] ** * This will allow requests to any class/resource staring with com.iona. or * javax.servlet.jsp. through to the parent classloader and block all other * requests. *
* A very common set of filters would be a set that allows nothing through * except the classes used by the JDK. The {@link JDKFireWallClassLoaderFactory} * factory class can create such FireWallClassLoader. *
* The FireWallClassLoader does not load any classes.
