Class MetaDataClassLoader

java.lang.Object

org.neo4j.ogm.metadata.classloader.MetaDataClassLoader

public abstract class MetaDataClassLoader
extends Object

The public API for metadata class loading in the OGM. Do not use Class.forName() because it may not work when frameworks such as Play reconfigure the ClassLoader hierarchies. Instead, replace all such calls with MetaDataClassLoader.loadClass() The principles behind this class loading technique are due to Vladimir Roubtsov, as documented here: <a href="http://www.javaworld.com/columns/jw-qna-index.shtml"> If needed we can extend this class to load other types of resources apart from class files
