一. 类的加载

java class是由class loader 类加载器加载到JVM内存中的。

看下下面的demo，java中有三种类加载器。

首先，我们自己定义的这个classLoaderDemo类，是由AppClassLoader(应用类加载器)加载到内存的。AppClassLoader主要负责加载应用程序的主函数类。

AppClassLoader的父classLoader是ExtClassLoader(扩展类加载器)。ExtClassLoader负责加载java的扩展类库。

ExtClassLoader的父加载器在这个demo中看不粗来，其实它的父加载器是BootstrapClassLoader。BootstrapClassLoader也就是启动类加载器，它不是一个java class，是特定于平台的机器指令，负责开启整个加载过程。主要负责加载核心的类库(java.lang.*等)，构造ExtClassLoader和APPClassLoader。

public class ClassLoaderDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) {

ClassLoader cl = ClassLoaderDemo.class.getClassLoader();

System.out.println("class loader for ClassLoaderDemo is " + cl);

System.out.println("parent class loader is " + cl.getParent());

System.out.println("parent for parent class loader is " + cl.getParent().getParent());

ClassLoader strCl = String.class.getClassLoader();

System.out.println("class loader for String is " + strCl);

try {

ClassLoader listCl = cl.getParent().loadClass("java.util.List").getClass().getClassLoader();

System.out.println("class loader for List is " + listCl);

} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

System.out.println("BootStrap ClassLoader path " + System.getProperty("sun.boot.class.path"));

System.out.println("Extention ClassLoader path " + System.getProperty("java.ext.dirs"));

System.out.println("Application ClassLoader path " + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));

}

}

输出：

class loader for ClassLoaderDemo is sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@4e25154f

parent class loader is sun.misc.Launcher$ExtClassLoader@33909752

parent for parent class loader is null

class loader for String is null

class loader for List is null

二. 双亲委派机制

1. 工作机制

这三种类加载器，是按照双亲委派机制来工作的。

当需要加载一个类时，AppClassLoader会检查是否已加载此类，如果已加载则不再处理，如果没有加载，则会询问ExtClassLoader是否已加载此类。如果ExtClassLoader没有加载此类，会再询问BootstrapClassLoader是否已加载此类。这样一层层往上询问。

如果连BootstrapClassLoader都没有加载过此类，那么BootstrapClassLoader会检查它是否可以加载此类，如果可以，它会记载这个类。如果不能，那么它会往下询问ExtClassLoader是否可以加载，如果能则加载，不能则继续往下询问AppClassLoader。

双亲委派机制

2. 为什么采用双亲委派机制

这种机制能保证系统级别的类不会被用户覆盖，防止危险代码的植入。
