Class ClassLoaderSorter

java.lang.Object

org.oddjob.util.ClassLoaderSorter

public class ClassLoaderSorter
extends java.lang.Object

A utility class that finds the highest (in the ClassLoader hierarchy) ClassLoader for the given classes.

This is required to create a dynamic proxy when the interfaces it implements are not in the same class loader.

TODO: The current implementation assumes that all classes are in the same ClassLoader hierarchy but doesn't validate this. It should.
