Class ClassFileLocator.ForClassLoader

java.lang.Object
net.bytebuddy.dynamic.ClassFileLocator.ForClassLoader
All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable, ClassFileLocator
Enclosing interface:
ClassFileLocator
@Enhance public static class ClassFileLocator.ForClassLoader extends Object implements ClassFileLocator

A class file locator that queries a class loader for binary representations of class files.

Important: Even when calling Closeable.close() on this class file locator, no underlying class loader is closed if it implements the Closeable interface as this is typically not intended.
