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 --classLoaderClass apache.jasper.servlet.JasperLoader{{execute T2}}

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

• PS: Same as ognl, you can also use -c <hashcode> instead of --classLoaderClass to specify

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
  +-TomcatEmbeddedWebappClassLoader
      context: ROOT
...

View the ClassLoader tree

classloader -t{{execute T2}}

$ classloader -t

  +-com.taobao.arthas.agent.ArthasClassloader@8c25e55
  +-sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader@55f96302

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

Note: Please replace <classLoaderHash> with your classLoaderHash above, then execute the related commands manually in the following steps:

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 --classLoaderClass org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader{{execute T2}}

$ classloader --classLoaderClass org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader
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 --classLoaderClass org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader -r logback-spring.xml{{execute T2}}

$ classloader --classLoaderClass org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader -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 --classLoaderClass org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader --load java.lang.String{{execute T2}}

$ classloader --classLoaderClass org.springframework.boot.loader.LaunchedURLClassLoader --load java.lang.String
load class success.
