Module iu.util.type.impl

Package iu.type

Class BackwardsCompatibility

java.lang.Object

iu.type.BackwardsCompatibility

final class BackwardsCompatibility
extends Object

Provides access to context-compatible versions of context-sensitive classes.

A context-sensitive class is public and intended to be loaded by direct reference from its component rather than shared by parent or module delegation. For example, Resource.

Context-compatible refers to a class that has the same name, or a compatible name (i.e., javax.* vs. jakarta.*), as a context-sensitive class, and is guaranteed to be visible to the current thread's Thread.getContextClassLoader().
