/** This method must be implemented by the applet developer because
|
|
* there is no way in the standard Java API for system classes (such as,
|
|
* netscape.application) to look up an applet's class by name. The
|
|
* static method <b>Class.forName()</b> simply looks up one level in the
|
|
* stack and gets the ClassLoader associated with the method block of the
|
|
* caller.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* When the netscape.application classes are installed as
|
|
* system classes, the ClassLoader is <b>null</b>. Thus, when code in
|
|
* netscape.application calls <b>Class.forName()</b> it can only find
|
|
* other system classes.
|
|
* <p>
|
|
* The solution is an API that allows code to
|
|
* find the ClassLoader for an applet by URL, and a public API on
|
|
* ClassLoader to ask it to load classes by name. Until those
|
|
* enhancements can be made and distributed to all the world's Java
|
|
* systems, applets must subclass FoundationApplet and
|
|
* implement the following one-line method:
|
|
* <pre>
|
|
* public abstract Class classForName(String className)
|
|
* throws ClassNotFoundException {
|
|
* return Class.forName(className);
|
|
* }
|
|
* </pre>
