Abstract

A system and method for code-source sharing between class loaders in a java virtual machine environment (JVM). Specifically, a central repository for referencing a plurality of code-sources for java class loaders in a JVM environment is described. Each entry for a shared code-source in the central repository includes a reference to a code-source that potentially could be shared by multiple class loaders of a plurality of class loaders in the JVM environment. The central repository manages an instance of the code-source for use in the JVM environment by the plurality of class loaders. A state of the code-source is provided. In addition, a list of subscribing class loaders to the code-source is also provided.
