Method Detail

loadInstanceOf

public static <T> T loadInstanceOf(Class<T> clazz)

loadInstanceOf

public static <T> T loadInstanceOf(Class<T> clazz,
                   Class<?>[] constructorTypes,
                   Object[] constructorArgs)

loadInstanceOf

public static <T> T loadInstanceOf(String implClassName,
                   Class<T> superClass)

Like loadInstanceOf(String, Class, Class[], Object[]) for no-arg constructors.

loadInstanceOf

public static <T> T loadInstanceOf(String implClassName,
                   Class<T> superClass,
                   Class<?>[] constructorTypes,
                   Object[] constructorArgs)

Loads and instantiates a named implementation class, a subclass of a given supertype, whose constructor takes the given arguments.

Parameters:

implClassName - implementation class name

superClass - superclass or interface that the implementation extends

constructorTypes - argument types of constructor to use

constructorArgs - actual constructor arguments

Returns:

instance of implClassName

loadFromRemote

                   Class<T> superClass,
                   URL url)

classExists

public static boolean classExists(String implClassName)
