Java Security, 2nd Edition

Name

Class java.net.URLClassLoader

Synopsis

This class provides a concrete class loader that may be used to load classes from one or more URLs (either HTTP-based or file-based URLs). Since it is a secure class loader, classes loaded from a URL class loader will be fully integrated into the access controller’s security model.
