exceptions. An autoloader exception could be one of them. But I use also similar calls to reformat error messages. try { $class = new ReflectionClass($****annotationName); } catch (ClassNotFoundException $e) { $message = "The annotation class {$annotationName} cannot be found; "; $message .= "called in DocBlock for: {$this->context->getLocation()** **}; "; throw new ClassNotFoundException($****message, null, $e); } if(!class_exists('**ReflectionClass')){

// call your error handler here or throw Exception as you like } else{ $class = new ReflectionClass($****annotationName); }

Reflection class triggers also the autoloader, because it tries to load the class $annotationName.

then class_exists($annotationName)?

Oh, my mistake. I have forgotten that class_exists triggers also the autoloader. Yes, then your solution is as smart as mine.

btw. I think that ReflectionClass::__construct will throw a LogicException if the classname you passed couldn't be loaded. so you don't need your special autoloader for handling that.
