loadClass

public static Class<?> loadClass(String className,
 ClassLoader... classLoaders)
                          throws ClassNotFoundException

Attempts to load the specified class using the given class loaders in order.

A loader that cannot see the class, or that sees a copy which fails to link or initialize, does not end the search: the next loader is tried and the fallback is logged. Fatal errors propagated by ExceptionUtils.handleThrowable abort the chain.

Parameters:

className - the fully qualified class name

classLoaders - the class loaders to attempt, in order

Returns:

the loaded class

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if no class loader was supplied, or none of them could load the class; the failure of the last loader attempted is the cause
