The following describes the usage of the classloader command.

First visit the jsp page: https://HOST_SUBDOMAIN-80-KATACODA_HOST.environments.katacoda.com/hello

List all ClassLoaders

classloader -l{{execute T2}}

• The number of classes loaded by TomcatEmbeddedWebappClassLoader is 0, so in spring boot embedded tomcat, it is just an empty ClassLoader, all the classes are loaded by LaunchedURLClassLoader

List all classes loaded in ClassLoader

List all classes loaded by org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader:

classloader -a -c 65361d9a{{execute T2}}

$ classloader -a -c 65361d9a
 hash:1698045338, org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader@65361d9a
 org.apache.jsp.jsp.hello_jsp

Decompile dynamically generated jsp classes

jad org.apache.jsp.jsp.hello_jsp{{execute T2}}

$ jad org.apache.jsp.jsp.hello_jsp

ClassLoader:
+-org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader@65361d9a

      context: ROOT

$ classloader -t

        org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader@1be6f5c3

        +-org.apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader@21ae0fe2

List the urls of the ClassLoader

For example, the hashcode of spring LaunchedURLClassLoader viewed above is 1be6f5c3, and all its urls can be listed by the -c parameter:

classloader -c 1be6f5c3{{execute T2}}

$ classloader -c 1be6f5c3
jar:file:/home/scrapbook/tutorial/demo-arthas-spring-boot.jar!/BOOT-INF/classes!/
jar:file:/home/scrapbook/tutorial/demo-arthas-spring-boot.jar!/BOOT-INF/lib/spring-boot-starter-aop-1.5
.13.RELEASE.jar!/
...

Load the resource file in the specified ClassLoader

Load the specified resource file: classloader -c 1be6f5c3 -r logback-spring.xml{{execute T2}}

$ classloader -c 1be6f5c3 -r logback-spring.xml
 jar:file:/home/scrapbook/tutorial/demo-arthas-spring-boot.jar!/BOOT-INF/classes!/logback-spring.xml

Try to load the specified class

For example, try loading java.lang.String with spring LaunchedURLClassLoader :

classloader -c 1be6f5c3 --load java.lang.String{{execute T2}}

$ classloader -c 1be6f5c3 --load java.lang.String
load class success.
