DelegatingClassLoader.ClassFinder (Payara Project 6.2022.1.Alpha3 API)

All Known Implementing Classes:

ConnectorClassFinder

Enclosing class:

DelegatingClassLoader
```
public static interface DelegatingClassLoader.ClassFinder
```
findClass method of ClassLoader is usually a protected method. Calling loadClass on a ClassLoader is expenssive, as it searches the delegation hierarchy before searching in its private space. Hence we add this interface as an optimization.
