Object (MiscBundleLoader)

Declared In:

<misckit/MiscBundleLoader.h>

Category Description

This category adds a class method, +loadClassBundle:, to the Object class.  This method allows loading of code for Objective-C classes which are contained inside of NXBundles.  If the class has already been linked into the application (either dynamically or via static linking) then +loadClassBundle: returns the desired class; otherwise an attempt is made to load the class.

Method Types

Loading a bundled class

Class Methods

loadClassBundle

+  (Class)loadClassBundle:(const char *)className

Returns a class object for the class named className.  If the class is not already loaded into the application, then an attempt is made to load a bundle named className.bundle from either the main bundle (app wrapper) or from the bundle for the receiving class.  (So, for example, one bundle with a class in it could conceivably contain other bundles containing classes in them, with each set of bundles being loaded on an on-demand basis.)  If the class cannot be found nor can it be loaded, then nil is returned and an appropriate error message is printed to the console.
