FindClass

Since JDK 1.2, when FindClass is called through the Invocation Interface, there is no current native method or its associated class loader. In that case, the result of ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader is used. This is the class loader the virtual machine creates for applications, and is able to locate classes listed in the java.class.path property.

Return

a class object from a fully-qualified name, or NULL if the class cannot be found.

Parameters

name

a fully-qualified class name (that is, a package name, delimited by “/”, followed by the class name). If the name begins with “[“ (the array signature character), it returns an array class. The string is encoded in modified UTF-8.
