How to use a class loaded with a Custom ClassLoader
Hi all.
I have a web application with sensitive information inside a class. To protect it, I have encrypted the class and written a custom classloader in order to load and decrypt it.
The class itself is "masked" with an interface which has a method which returns an instance of the class.
The class is successfully loaded in the Context listener event:
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event)
{
CustomLoader c = new CustomLoader(context.getClass().getClassLoader());
Class clazz = c.loadClass("C:\\jakarta-tomcat-5.0.16\\temp\\","SecretClass",true);
The problem is, when the application tries to reference the SecretClass a ClassnotFoundException is thrown.......
Why Tomcat cannot use the class I have loaded in memory before ?
What can I do to solve the problem ?
I'm using Tomcat 5.0.16 as container.
Hope somebody can help
Regards
Francesco
