Java Security

Name

Class java.lang.ClassLoader

Synopsis

This class is the basis for loading a class dynamically in Java. For historical reasons, it appears in this package, but it is recommended that all new class loaders subclass the SecureClassLoader class in the java.security package instead of using this class. Loading a class explicitly may be done with the loadClass() method of this class (though classes are usually simply loaded as needed).
