public URLClassLoader(URL[] urls) 
{

        }
        ucp = new URLClassPath(urls);
        acc = AccessController.getContext();
}

Constructs a new URLClassLoader for the specified URLs using the default delegation parent ClassLoader. The URLs will be searched in the order specified for classes and resources after first searching in the parent class loader. Any URL that ends with a '/' is assumed to refer to a directory. Otherwise, the URL is assumed to refer to a JAR file which will be downloaded and opened as needed.

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkCreateClassLoader method to ensure creation of a class loader is allowed.

Parameters:

urls - the URLs from which to load classes and resources

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkCreateClassLoader method doesn't allow creation of a class loader.

SecurityManager#checkCreateClassLoader
exception: SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkCreateClassLoader method doesn't allow creation of a class loader.

        }
        ucp = new URLClassPath(urls);
        acc = AccessController.getContext();
}

Constructs a new URLClassLoader for the given URLs. The URLs will be searched in the order specified for classes and resources after first searching in the specified parent class loader. Any URL that ends with a '/' is assumed to refer to a directory. Otherwise, the URL is assumed to refer to a JAR file which will be downloaded and opened as needed.

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkCreateClassLoader method to ensure creation of a class loader is allowed.

Parameters:

urls - the URLs from which to load classes and resources

parent - the parent class loader for delegation

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkCreateClassLoader method doesn't allow creation of a class loader.

SecurityManager#checkCreateClassLoader
exception: SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkCreateClassLoader method doesn't allow creation of a class loader.

        }
        ucp = new URLClassPath(urls, factory);
        acc = AccessController.getContext();
}

Constructs a new URLClassLoader for the specified URLs, parent class loader, and URLStreamHandlerFactory. The parent argument will be used as the parent class loader for delegation. The factory argument will be used as the stream handler factory to obtain protocol handlers when creating new jar URLs.

If there is a security manager, this method first calls the security manager's checkCreateClassLoader method to ensure creation of a class loader is allowed.

Parameters:

urls - the URLs from which to load classes and resources

parent - the parent class loader for delegation

factory - the URLStreamHandlerFactory to use when creating URLs

Throws:

SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkCreateClassLoader method doesn't allow creation of a class loader.

Also see:

SecurityManager#checkCreateClassLoader
exception: SecurityException - if a security manager exists and its checkCreateClassLoader method doesn't allow creation of a class loader.

 protected  void addURL(URL url)

Appends the specified URL to the list of URLs to search for classes and resources.

If the URL specified is null or is already in the list of URLs, then invoking this method has no effect.

Returns the permissions for the given codesource object. The implementation of this method first calls super.getPermissions and then adds permissions based on the URL of the codesource.

If the protocol of this URL is "jar", then the permission granted is based on the permission that is required by the URL of the Jar file.

If the protocol is "file" and there is an authority component, then permission to connect to and accept connections from that authority may be granted. If the protocol is "file" and the path specifies a file, then permission to read that file is granted. If protocol is "file" and the path is a directory, permission is granted to read all files and (recursively) all files and subdirectories contained in that directory.

If the protocol is not "file", then permission to connect to and accept connections from the URL's host is granted.

 public URL[] getURLs()

Returns the search path of URLs for loading classes and resources. This includes the original list of URLs specified to the constructor, along with any URLs subsequently appended by the addURL() method.

Creates a new instance of URLClassLoader for the specified URLs and default parent class loader. If a security manager is installed, the loadClass method of the URLClassLoader returned by this method will invoke the SecurityManager.checkPackageAccess before loading the class.
