将java编译为class文件,创建.java文件，并在运行时将其编译为.class文件

I'm generating a whole bunch of .java files from an XSD file using XJC. I also need to compile those files to .class files and use them at runtime via reflection.

The problem I'm having is that after I generate the .java files and try to compile them, the compiler can't compile them properly and gives me the following error:

.\src\com\program\data\ClassOne.java:44: error: cannot find symbol

protected List description;

^

symbol: class ClassTwo

location: class ClassOne

I'm assuming this has to do with the fact that the JVM doesn't know about the package I just generated and as such can't find the referenced classes.

This can be solved by simply restarting the program after generating the .java files. But I'm curious if there's a way to do both steps during runtime without a restart.

I've looked at ways to "refresh" what packages are on the classpath at runtime, but with no luck.

This is the method I'm using to compile the files.

public static void compile(Path javaPath, String[] fileList) {

for (String fileName : fileList) {

Path fullPath = Paths.get(javaPath.toString(), fileName);

JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();

compiler.run(null, null, null, fullPath.toString());

}

}

解决方案

So I finally figured this out...

Apparently you could pass several files to the compiler at once, and this solves the symbol error. What a stupidly simple solution.

public static void compile(String... files) {

JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();

compiler.run(null, null, null, files);

}
