Method Detail

getClassLoaderForService

public static java.lang.ClassLoader getClassLoaderForService(java.lang.String path)

If the service specified by serviceId is supplied by a plugin, the ClassLoader used to load classes for the associated plugin is returned. This is a handy method to use if you want to find resources associated with a particular (plugin-supplied) service, such as a GWT serialization policy file, properties files, etc. If the service was not supplied by a plugin, then null is returned.

Parameters:

path - a path to a plugin resource

Returns:

the ClassLoader that serves the (plugin-supplied) service, or null if the service was not plugin-supplied or the plugin manager cannot identify the service.
