Any way to clear the loadedClassesMap in CachedCompiler class

[hfeischl]

I would like to dynamically change code during runtime but keep the same class name.

Currently the way it seems to work is that this line of code:
aClass = CompilerUtils.CACHED_COMPILER.loadFromJava(className1, javaCode);
will compile the code when it runs the first time.
The 2nd time it won't compile, it will returned the compiled class from cash instead (even if the input String javaCode is different.

Can I somehow force that every time I call that line of code it will re-compile?

Thanks a bunch

btw, thanks a bunch for telling me that OpenJDK is actually a JRE:)

No. This is not how it works. The class is compiled and loaded into the JVM. You’d have to do some acrobatics to ensure garbage collection was run against your class / object. You’ll have to figure out a way to make the class name unique in order to be re-compiled / loaded without restating the JVM.

I suggest you just create a new class with a different name and use that.

got it - thanks!
