Hi All,
Does anyone have any thoughts as to how to auto
re-load the classes, which have been loaded into JVM
using Custom Class loader? I tried writing custom
class loader and loaded all the classes, but don't
know how to re-load the same class, if it has been
modified (re-compiled) without shutting down JVM,
similar to JSP engine, where if we put updated JSP
file, it picks up the new file.
Note: I learnt that, we need to recreate new class
loader and load all the classes again, but don't know
exactly how to apply that technique in the system. Any
help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Babu
