Method Detail

createRelativeCodeBaseLocator

public ICodeBaseLocator createRelativeCodeBaseLocator(String relativePath)

Get the codebase locator describing the location of a relative codebase. This method is useful for getting the location of a codebase referred to in the Class-Path attribute of a Jar manifest.

Parameters: relativePath the path of a relative codebase

Returns: codebase locator of the relative codebase whose path is given

openCodeBase

public ICodeBase openCodeBase()

Get the codebase object.
