Interface SmartClassLoader

    public interface SmartClassLoader

Interface to be implemented by a reloading-aware ClassLoader (e.g. a Groovy-based ClassLoader). Detected for example by Spring's CGLIB proxy factory for making a caching decision.

If a ClassLoader does not implement this interface, then all of the classes obtained from it should be considered as not reloadable (i.e. cacheable).

Since:
  2.5.1
Author:
  Juergen Hoeller

Method Summary
`boolean` | `isClassReloadable(Class clazz)` Determine whether the given class is reloadable (in this ClassLoader).

Method Detail

### isClassReloadable

    boolean isClassReloadable(Class clazz)

  Typically used to check whether the result may be cached (for this ClassLoader) or whether it should be reobtained every time.

  Parameters:
    `clazz` - the class to check (usually loaded from this ClassLoader)
  Returns:
    whether the class should be expected to appear in a reloaded version (with a different `Class` object) later on
