Dynamic Classes

[nunofaria]

Hi, I'm starting to study how to program dynamic classes (if that's what it's called)

Is it possible to add a field or a method to a class on execution time?

I'm starting to see some papers related to 'ClassLoader' but they're a bit confusing.

Any help/directions is appreciated.
Thanks.

You can dynamically load a class using ClassLoader that can be specified at run-time, and, with introspection, you could discover what members and methods that class has and create instances of that loaded class.

If you add fields or methods wouldn't it be a different class?

What is the actual problem you are trying to solve? There arebytecode libraries that allow the generation of classes at runtime.

Java is dynamic and all of its classes are unless you make them static........Do you know the difference between static and dynamic.....it is 1 and one is a binary number......: static just means the compiler isn't allowed to move it around......and that alll classes on that program have access to that variable and can change the value of that static variable without permisssiom [i e public private or classs path] ; hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm think

did i say that right fubarable??????????

[aaroncarpet]

unless it is private static.....then only the declaring class can affect thst dtstic vsrisnle

owhat avout "stoic" tpes fuerable

[aaroncarpet]

first you must learb the differebce between static and dynamic equilibrium........chemistry

static stand alone classes? OK for C#, but not kosher for Java.
