java - Why doesn't the JVM load classes from a database? -


why doesn't java virtual machine load classes database (similar gac of .net)? understand it, has read , scan manifests of each jar on class path in order locate class files. wouldn't using database (like sqlite) boost startup time?

depending on how define "database" both ibm (shared classes) , oracle (shared data) have technologies speed startup , decrease memory footprint.

class load time small (on class class basis), adding database in way won't realistically change performance in way, if have blast bytes on wire (rather read local file system jar entry). jvms today highly optimized down class loading path , adding sql not performance. (flexibility of distributed repositories, etc.. different question , see advantages there.)
