findClass

protected Class findClass(String name)
                   throws ClassNotFoundException

Finds the specified class. This method should be overridden by class loader implementations that follow the new delegation model for loading classes, and will be called by the loadClass method after checking the parent class loader for the requested class. The default implementation throws ClassNotFoundException.

Parameters:

name - the name of the class

Returns:

the resulting Class object

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the class could not be found
