somLoadClassFile - Remarks

The SOMClassMgr object uses the somLoadClassFile method to load a class dynamically during the execution of somFindClass or somFindClsInFile. A SOM class object representing the class is expected to be created and registered as a result of this method.

The somLoadClassFile method can be overridden to load or create classes dynamically using your own mechanisms. If you simply wish to change the name of the procedure that is called to initialize the classes in a library, override somGetInitFunction instead.

This method is provided to permit user-created subclasses of SOMClassMgr to handle the loading of classes by overriding this method. Do not invoke this method directly; instead, use somFindClass or somFindClsInFile.
