Controlling java virtual machine component behavior on a per-classloader basis

摘要

A method and system for controlling an operation of a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) component on a per-classloader basis. A manifest of a bundle in an Open Services Gateway Initiative (OSGi®) compliant framework is parsed and metadata in the manifest is identified. The metadata is stored in a Java® classloader uniquely associated with the bundle. An upcoming performance of an operation which can be affected by a value of the stored metadata is identified by the JVM component. A value of the stored metadata is read from the classloader. The operation of the JVM component is controlled based on the value of the stored metadata.
