Constructor Detail

URLClassPath

public URLClassPath(java.lang.String host,
                    int port,
                    java.lang.String directory,
                    java.lang.String packageName)

Creates a search path specified with URL (http).

This search path is used only if a requested class name starts with the name specified by packageName. If packageName is "org.javassist." and a requested class is "org.javassist.test.Main", then the given URL is used for loading that class. The URLClassPath obtains a class file from:

http://www.javassist.org:80/java/classes/org/javassist/test/Main.class
 

Here, we assume that host is "www.javassist.org", port is 80, and directory is "/java/classes/".

If packageName is null, the URL is used for loading any class.

Parameters:

host - host name

port - port number

directory - directory name ending with "/". It can be "/" (root directory). It must start with "/".

packageName - package name. It must end with "." (dot).
