Constant Field Values
Constructor Detail

ClassUtils

public ClassUtils()
Method Detail

getDefaultClassLoader

public static ClassLoader getDefaultClassLoader()
Return the default ClassLoader to use: typically the thread context ClassLoader, if available; the ClassLoader that loaded the ClassUtils class will be used as fallback.

Call this method if you intend to use the thread context ClassLoader in a scenario where you absolutely need a non-null ClassLoader reference: for example, for class path resource loading (but not necessarily for Class.forName, which accepts a null ClassLoader reference as well).

Returns:
the default ClassLoader (never null)
See Also:
Thread.getContextClassLoader()

isPresent

public static boolean isPresent(String className)
Determine whether the Class identified by the supplied name is present and can be loaded. Will return false if either the class or one of its dependencies is not present or cannot be loaded.

Parameters:
className - the name of the class to check
Returns:
whether the specified class is present

isPresent

public static boolean isPresent(String className,
                                ClassLoader classLoader)
Determine whether the Class identified by the supplied name is present and can be loaded. Will return false if either the class or one of its dependencies is not present or cannot be loaded.

Parameters:
className - the name of the class to check
classLoader - the class loader to use (may be null, which indicates the default class loader)
Returns:
whether the specified class is present

forName

public static Class forName(String name)

                            LinkageError
Replacement for Class.forName() that also returns Class instances for primitives (like "int") and array class names (like "String[]").

Always uses the default class loader: that is, preferably the thread context class loader, or the ClassLoader that loaded the ClassUtils class as fallback.

Parameters:
name - the name of the Class
Returns:
Class instance for the supplied name
Throws:
ClassNotFoundException - if the class was not found
LinkageError - if the class file could not be loaded
See Also:
Class.forName(String, boolean, ClassLoader), getDefaultClassLoader()

forName

public static Class forName(String name,
                            ClassLoader classLoader)

                            LinkageError
Replacement for Class.forName() that also returns Class instances for primitives (like "int") and array class names (like "String[]").

Parameters:
name - the name of the Class
classLoader - the class loader to use (may be null, which indicates the default class loader)
Returns:
Class instance for the supplied name
Throws:
ClassNotFoundException - if the class was not found
LinkageError - if the class file could not be loaded
See Also:
Class.forName(String, boolean, ClassLoader)

resolveClassName

public static Class resolveClassName(String className,

                              throws IllegalArgumentException
Resolve the given class name into a Class instance. Supports primitives (like "int") and array class names (like "String[]").

This is effectively equivalent to the forName method with the same arguments, with the only difference being the exceptions thrown in case of class loading failure.

Parameters:
className - the name of the Class
classLoader - the class loader to use (may be null, which indicates the default class loader)
Returns:
Class instance for the supplied name
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if the class name was not resolvable (that is, the class could not be found or the class file could not be loaded)
See Also:
forName(String, ClassLoader)

Return a path suitable for use with ClassLoader.getResource (also suitable for use with Class.getResource by prepending a slash ('/') to the return value. Built by taking the package of the specified class file, converting all dots ('.') to slashes ('/'), adding a trailing slash if necesssary, and concatenating the specified resource name to this.
As such, this function may be used to build a path suitable for loading a resource file that is in the same package as a class file, although ClassPathResource is usually even more convenient.

Parameters:
clazz - the Class whose package will be used as the base
resourceName - the resource name to append. A leading slash is optional.
Returns:
the built-up resource path
See Also:
ClassLoader.getResource(java.lang.String), Class.getResource(java.lang.String)

classPackageAsResourcePath

public static String classPackageAsResourcePath(Class clazz)
Given an input class object, return a string which consists of the class's package name as a pathname, i.e., all dots ('.') are replaced by slashes ('/'). Neither a leading nor trailing slash is added. The result could be concatenated with a slash and the name of a resource, and fed directly to ClassLoader.getResource(). For it to be fed to Class.getResource instead, a leading slash would also have to be prepended to the returned value.

Parameters:
clazz - the input class. A null value or the default (empty) package will result in an empty string ("") being returned.
Returns:
a path which represents the package name
See Also:
ClassLoader.getResource(java.lang.String), Class.getResource(java.lang.String)

classNamesToString

See Also:
