Package groovy.lang

Class GroovyClassLoader

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Closeable, java.lang.AutoCloseable
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    GroovyClassLoader.InnerLoader
    public class GroovyClassLoader
extends java.net.URLClassLoader
    A ClassLoader which can load Groovy classes. The loaded classes are cached, classes from other classloaders should not be cached. To be able to load a script that was asked for earlier but was created later it is essential not to keep anything like a "class not found" information for that class name. This includes possible parent loaders. Classes that are not cached are always reloaded.

      • isRecompilable

        protected boolean isRecompilable​(java.lang.Class cls)
        Indicates if a class is recompilable. Recompilable means, that the classloader will try to locate a groovy source file for this class and then compile it again, adding the resulting class as entry to the cache. Giving null as class is like a recompilation, so the method should always return true here. Only classes that are implementing GroovyObject are compilable and only if the timestamp in the class is lower than Long.MAX_VALUE.

        NOTE: First the parent loaders will be asked and only if they don't return a class the recompilation will happen. Recompilation also only happen if the source file is newer.

        Parameters:
        cls - the class to be tested. If null the method should return true
        Returns:
        true if the class should be compiled again
        See Also:
        isSourceNewer(URL, Class)

      • setShouldRecompile

        public void setShouldRecompile​(java.lang.Boolean mode)
        sets if the recompilation should be enable. There are 3 possible values for this. Any value different than null overrides the value from the compiler configuration. true means to recompile if needed false means to never recompile.
        Parameters:
        mode - the recompilation mode
        See Also:
        CompilerConfiguration

      • isShouldRecompile

        public java.lang.Boolean isShouldRecompile()
        gets the currently set recompilation mode. null means, the compiler configuration is used. False means no recompilation and true means that recompilation will be done if needed.
        Returns:
        the recompilation mode

      • loadClass
