| <div class="block"><p>SharedClassHelper API that stores and finds classes using String tokens.</p> |
| <h2>Description</h2> |
| <p>A SharedClassTokenHelper is obtained by calling getTokenHelper(ClassLoader) on a SharedClassHelperFactory.</p> |
| <p>The SharedClassTokenHelper, which is the most simple type of helper, uses generated String tokens to find and store classes.</p> |
| <h2>Usage</h2> |
| <p>The ClassLoader should call findSharedClass after looking in its local cache and asking its parent (if one exists). |
| If findSharedClass does not return null, the ClassLoader calls defineClass on the byte[] that is returned.</p> |
| <p>The ClassLoader calls storeSharedClass immediately after a class is defined, unless the class that is being defined was loaded from the shared cache.</p> |
| <p>The ClassLoader is responsible for coordinating the creation of token Strings.</p> |
| <h2>Dynamic cache updates.</h2> |
| <p>Because the shared cache persists beyond the lifetime of a JVM, classes in the shared cache can become out of date (stale). |
| Using this helper, it is entirely the responsibility of the ClassLoader to ensure that cache entries are kept up-to-date. |
| Tokens have no meaning to the cache, so effectively turn the it into a dictionary of classes.</p> |
| <p>For example, a token may be the location where the class was found, combined with some type of versioning data.</p> |
| <p>If a ClassLoader stores multiple versions of the same class by using the same token, only the most recent will be returned by findSharedClass. </p> |
| <h2>Security</h2> |
| <p>A SharedClassHelper will only allow classes to be stored in the cache which were defined by the ClassLoader that owns the SharedClassHelper.</p> |
| <p>If a SecurityManager is installed, SharedClassPermissions must be used to permit read/write access to the shared class cache. |
| Permissions are granted by ClassLoader classname in the java.policy file and are fixed when the SharedClassHelper is created.</p> |
| <p>Note also that if the createClassLoader RuntimePermission is not granted, ClassLoaders cannot be created, |
| which in turn means that SharedClassHelpers cannot be created.</p> |
| <h2>Compatibility with other SharedClassHelpers</h2> |
| <p>Classes stored using the SharedClassTokenHelper cannot be retrieved using any other type of helper, and vice versa. </p></div> |
