Class ClassLoadEvent

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public class ClassLoadEvent

extends java.util.EventObject

when a Class is loaded/unloaded by the JVM.

NOTE: Since the actual class loaded/unloaded is delivered as part of the event, for unloading, this event should be considered as a notification of 'class finalization', and the event receiver will effectively prevent the actual unloading as long as this object is being referred (i.e. during the events lifetime). If you store the event or the java.lang.Class returned by getClassObject() the class will not be actually unloaded, even though it remains unreachable from user code (other than management API user).
