static String
getClassAnnotation(Class cl)
Returns a string representation of the network location where a remote endpoint can get the class-definition of the given class.
static ClassLoader
getClassLoader(String codebase)
Gets a classloader for the given codebase and with the current context classloader as parent.
static RMIClassLoaderSpi
getDefaultProviderInstance()
Returns the default service provider for RMIClassLoader.

Returns:
the default provider for RMIClassLoader

name - the name of the class
Returns:
the loaded class
Throws:
