Help in creating a NetworkClassLoader

Sir,

I what to transfer a .class from a network. So i want to create a networkclassLoader which extends the parent classloader. I am unable to get any idea about how to create a network connection and send a .class from a network system.

i have developed a simple network program which just establish a connection and send a message to both the system but i am not able to send a .class file from one system to another.

So please help in creating a networkclassLoader or sample blueprint of creating a networkClassLoader file

Read the class file and send as the bytes over the network, you have to use Class.defineClass(...) after that.

defineClass(...) is a protected final method of ClassLoader, so you have to extend the class to be able to use it.

You might like to take a look at my File Class Loader, which has a public API to define and resolve a class loaded from a file or a byte array.
