5.7. Resources

There are several resources that cover different aspects of custom class loading. For a thorough treatment of the Java 2 security model, see [Gon99]. If you are writing custom class loaders, [New00] has some interesting examples. If you are writing a custom protocol handler, look at [Mas01], which describes a protocol handler for the Win32 registry.

If you are interested in custom attributes, and the loaders that read them, download the source code at [JCFE], which is a generic architecture for extending class loading and reflection to handle custom attributes.
