Name: vi73552 Date: 04/30/99 It would be most helpful if the ClassLoader provided a way to indicate if a class should be reloaded from disk. Tracing through the solaris version of the classloader it appears that the native functions used by loadClass search a cache. What would be nice is a flag to loadClass telling it to load a new version of the class from disk. This does not mean the old version has to be unloaded just that the old version would no longer be selected for new references to the class (old references would be unchanged). I guess there might be some issues with the resolving of references to static functions. (Review ID: 57691) ======================================================================
