Name

Class java.security.SecureClassLoader

Synopsis

A secure class loader is a class loader that is able to associate code sources (and hence protection domains) with the classes that it loads (classes loaded by a traditional class loader have a default, null protection domain). All new class loaders are expected to extend this class.
