# Package javax.management.loading

package javax.management.loading

Provides the classes which implement advanced dynamic loading. See the chapter Advanced Dynamic Loading in the JMX Specification.

An MBean that is of a subclass of `ClassLoader` can be used as a class loader to create other MBeans via the method `MBeanServer.createMBean(String, ObjectName, ObjectName, Object[], String[])`, and to instantiate arbitrary objects via the method `MBeanServer.instantiate(String, ObjectName, Object[], String[])`.

Every MBean Server has a class loader repository containing all MBeans registered in that MBean Server that are of a subclass of `ClassLoader`. The class loader repository is used by the forms of the `createMBean` and `instantiate` methods in the `MBeanServer` interface that do not have an explicit loader parameter.

If an MBean implements the interface `PrivateClassLoader`, then it is not added to the class loader repository.

  1.5
