ClassFileTransformer

Class Overview

This is an abstract base class which is called by java.lang.ClassLoader when ClassFormatError is thrown inside defineClass(). The purpose of this class is to allow applications (e.g. Java Plug-in) to have a chance to transform the byte code from one form to another if necessary. One application of this class is used by Java Plug-in to transform malformed JDK 1.1 class file into a well-formed Java 2 class file on-the-fly, so JDK 1.1 applets with malformed class file in the Internet may run in Java 2 after transformation.
