Reload a modified java class

[Manu Somasekhar]

Hi,

I was doing some byte code injection with asm. I tried to inject some code to the class file. But it is found that if I tried to find the injected code, it is not available within the already loaded class. So a clean restart of JVM is required to find the injected code within the object.
So I was wondering how can I reload a class without restarting the JVM ?

Byte code injection and class loading aren't really beginning topics, so I'm going to move this thread.

Thanks Paul.

Once again I am answering to my own question.

In order to achieve what I mentioned, one needs to extend ClassLoader and try to reload the classes when ever required.

I got the answer from here
