Is it possible to load ZK 7 theme jar dynamicaly from custom location?

I have jar with ZK 7 theme. Instruction says that

Using a anchive-based theme in a ZK Application is simple. Simply put the theme jar file inside the WEB-INF/lib folder of your ZK application. During the startup of your application, the new custom theme would be automatically registered, and available to use.

But what if I need to register and set by default theme, that not placed in WEB-INF/lib? Say, can I somehow register theme, that user can upload?

Best regards.

Solution

  • It's possible to register a theme as long it's on the classpath.
    For user uploading, I think it's impossible.
    But there is a good reason why this is impossible.
    You allow a user, to send any jar to the classpath, and the application to load an run what's inside the jar.
    If I have bad intentions, do you find it smart if I can add mine jar's to your application?
