Class Loaders - getClassLoader() method

There is a getClassLoder() method in the class java.lang.Class which tells us about the ClassLoader that loaded the class.

Below is the javaDoc for the same :

Returns the class loader for the class. Some implementations may use
null to represent the bootstrap class loader. This method will return
null in such implementations if this class was loaded by the bootstrap
class loader.

If a security manager is present, and the caller's class loader is
not null and the caller's class loader is not the same as or an ancestor of
the class loader for the class whose class loader is requested, then
this method calls the security manager's checkPermission
method with a RuntimePermission("getClassLoader")
permission to ensure it's ok to access the class loader for the class.

If this object
represents a primitive type or void, null is returned.

@return the class loader that loaded the class or interface
represented by this object.
@throws SecurityException
if a security manager exists and its
checkPermission method denies
access to the class loader for the class.
