Class ClassInfo
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Finalizable
This class handles caching internally and it's advisable to not store
references directly to objects of this class. The static factory method
getClassInfo(Class) should be used to retrieve an instance
from the cache. Internally the Class associated with a ClassInfo
instance is kept as WeakReference, so it not safe to reference
and instance without the Class being either strongly or softly reachable.

getTheClass
Returns theClassassociated with thisClassInfo.This method can return
nullif theClassis no longer reachable through any strong or soft references. A non-null return value indicates that thisClassInfois valid.- Returns:
- the
Classassociated with thisClassInfo, elsenull

getCachedClass

getArtifactClassLoader
-
getClassInfo

remove
Removes aClassInfofrom the cache. This is useful in cases where the Class is parsed from a script, such as when using GroovyClassLoader#parseClass, and is executed for its result but the Class is not retained or cached. Removing theClassInfoassociated with the Class will make the Class and its ClassLoader eligible for garbage collection sooner that it would otherwise.- Parameters:
cls- the Class associated with the ClassInfo to remove from cache

getMetaClass
Returns theMetaClassfor theClassassociated with thisClassInfo. If noMetaClassexists one will be created.It is not safe to call this method without a
Classassociated with thisClassInfo. It is advisable to always retrieve a ClassInfo instance from the cache by using the static factory methodgetClassInfo(Class)to ensure the referenced Class is strongly reachable.- Returns:
