java如何知道类被加载,在Java中，是否可以知道某个类是否已被加载？

Is it possible to know whether a Java class has been loaded, without attempting to load it? Class.forName attempts to load the class, but I don't want this side effect. Is there another way?

(I don't want to override the class loader. I'm looking for a relatively simple method.)

解决方案

(Thanks to Aleksi) This code:

public class TestLoaded {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

java.lang.reflect.Method m = ClassLoader.class.getDeclaredMethod("findLoadedClass", new Class[] { String.class });

m.setAccessible(true);

ClassLoader cl = ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader();

Object test1 = m.invoke(cl, "TestLoaded$ClassToTest");

System.out.println(test1 != null);

ClassToTest.reportLoaded();

Object test2 = m.invoke(cl, "TestLoaded$ClassToTest");

System.out.println(test2 != null);

}

static class ClassToTest {

static {

System.out.println("Loading " + ClassToTest.class.getName());

}

static void reportLoaded() {

System.out.println("Loaded");

}

}

}

Produces:

false

Loading TestLoaded$ClassToTest

Loaded

true

Note that the example classes are not in a package. The full binary name is required.

An example of a binary name is "java.security.KeyStore$Builder$FileBuilder$1"
