|
<p>Javassist (JAVA programming ASSISTant) makes Java bytecode manipulation
|
|
simple. It is a class library for editing bytecodes in Java;
|
|
it enables Java programs to define a new class at runtime and to
|
|
modify a class file when the JVM loads it. Unlike other similar
|
|
bytecode editors, Javassist provides two levels of API: source level
|
|
and bytecode level. If the users use the source-level API, they can
|
|
edit a class file without knowledge of the specifications of the Java
|
|
bytecode. The whole API is designed with only the vocabulary of the
|
|
Java language. You can even specify inserted bytecode in the form of
|
|
source text; Javassist compiles it on the fly. On the other hand, the
|
|
bytecode-level API allows the users to directly edit a class file as
|
|
other editors.

<h2>How to run sample programs</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>JDK 1.4 or later is needed.
|
|
|
|
<h3>0. If you have Apache Ant</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Run the sample-all task.
|
|
Otherwise, follow the instructions below.
|
|
|
|
<h3>1. Move to the directory where this Readme.html file is located.</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>In the following instructions, we assume that the javassist.jar
|
|
file is included in the class path.
|
|
For example, the javac and java commands must receive
|
|
the following <code>classpath</code> option:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
-classpath ".:javassist.jar"
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If the operating system is Windows, the path
|
|
separator must be not <code>:</code> (colon) but
|
|
<code>;</code> (semicolon). The java command can receive
|
|
the <code>-cp</code> option
|
|
as well as <code>-classpath</code>.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you don't want to use the class-path option, you can make
|
|
<code>javassist.jar</code> included in the <code>CLASSPATH</code>
|
|
environment:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
export CLASSPATH=.:javassist.jar
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>or if the operating system is Windows:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
set CLASSPATH=.;javassist.jar
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Otherwise, you can copy <tt>javassist.jar</tt> to the directory
|
|
|
|
<ul><<i>java-home</i>><tt>/jre/lib/ext</tt>.</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p><<i>java-home</i>> depends on the system. It is usually
|
|
<tt>/usr/local/java</tt>, <tt>c:\j2sdk1.4\</tt>, etc.
|
|
|
|
<h3>2. sample/Test.java</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This is a very simple program using Javassist.
|
|
|
|
<p> To run, type the commands:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% javac sample/Test.java
|
|
% java sample.Test
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> For more details, see <a type="text/plain" href="sample/Test.java">sample/Test.java</a>
|
|
|
|
<h3>3. sample/reflect/*.java</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This is the "verbose metaobject" example well known in reflective
|
|
programming. This program dynamically attaches a metaobject to
|
|
a Person object. The metaobject prints a message if a method
|
|
is called on the Person object.
|
|
|
|
<p> To run, type the commands:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% javac sample/reflect/*.java
|
|
% java javassist.tools.reflect.Loader sample.reflect.Main Joe
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Compare this result with that of the regular execution without reflection:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>% java sample.reflect.Person Joe</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> For more details, see <a type="text/plain" href="sample/reflect/Main.java">sample/reflect/Main.java</a>
|
|
|
|
<p> Furthermore, the Person class can be statically modified so that
|
|
all the Person objects become reflective without sample.reflect.Main.
|
|
To do this, type the commands:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% java javassist.tools.reflect.Compiler sample.reflect.Person -m sample.reflect.VerboseMetaobj
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> Then,
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% java sample.reflect.Person Joe
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>4. sample/duplicate/*.java</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This is another example of reflective programming.
|
|
|
|
<p> To run, type the commands:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% javac sample/duplicate/*.java
|
|
% java sample.duplicate.Main
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Compare this result with that of the regular execution without reflection:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>% java sample.duplicate.Viewer</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>For more details, see
|
|
<a type="text/plain" href="sample/duplicate/Main.java">sample/duplicate/Main.java</a>
|
|
|
|
<h3>5. sample/vector/*.java</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This example shows the use of Javassit for producing a class representing
|
|
a vector of a given type at compile time.
|
|
|
|
<p> To run, type the commands:
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% javac sample/vector/*.java
|
|
% java sample.preproc.Compiler sample/vector/Test.j
|
|
% javac sample/vector/Test.java
|
|
% java sample.vector.Test
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note: <code>javassist.jar</code> is unnecessary to compile and execute
|
|
<code>sample/vector/Test.java</code>.
|
|
|
|
For more details, see
|
|
<a type="text/plain" href="sample/vector/Test.j">sample/vector/Test.j</a>
|
|
and <a type="text/plain" href="sample/vector/VectorAssistant.java">sample/vector/VectorAssistant.java</a>
|
|
|
|
<h3>6. sample/rmi/*.java</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This demonstrates the javassist.rmi package.
|
|
|
|
<p> To run, type the commands:
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% javac sample/rmi/*.java
|
|
% java sample.rmi.Counter 5001
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> The second line starts a web server listening to port 5001.
|
|
|
|
<p> Then, open <a href="sample/rmi/webdemo.html">sample/rmi/webdemo.html</a>
|
|
with a web browser running
|
|
on the local host. (<tt>webdemo.html</tt> trys to fetch an applet from
|
|
<tt>http://localhost:5001/</tt>, which is the web server we started above.)
|
|
|
|
<p> Otherwise, run sample.rmi.CountApplet as an application:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% java javassist.web.Viewer localhost 5001 sample.rmi.CountApplet
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<h3>7. sample/evolve/*.java</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p> This is a demonstration of the class evolution mechanism implemented
|
|
with Javassist. This mechanism enables a Java program to reload an
|
|
existing class file under some restriction.
|
|
|
|
<p> To run, type the commands:
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% javac sample/evolve/*.java
|
|
% java sample.evolve.DemoLoader 5003
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p> The second line starts a class loader DemoLoader, which runs a web
|
|
server DemoServer listening to port 5003.
|
|
|
|
<p> Then, open <a href="http://localhost:5003/demo.html">http://localhost:5003/demo.html</a> with a web browser running
|
|
on the local host.
|
|
(Or, see <a href="sample/evolve/start.html">sample/evolve/start.html</a>.)
|
|
|
|
<h3>8. sample/hotswap/*.java</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>This shows dynamic class reloading by the JPDA. It needs JDK 1.4 or later.
|
|
To run, first type the following commands:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% cd sample/hotswap
|
|
% javac *.java
|
|
% cd logging
|
|
% javac *.java
|
|
% cd ..
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If your Java is 1.4, then type:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 Test
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you are using Java 5, then type:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% java -agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 Test
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Note that the class path must include <code>JAVA_HOME/lib/tools.jar</code>.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Hints</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>To know the version number, type this command:
|
|
|
|
<ul><pre>
|
|
% java -jar javassist.jar
|
|
</pre></ul>
|
|

|
|
implicitly append a method like _added_m$0.
|
|
This method now has a synthetic attribute.
|
|
<li>JIRA JASSIST-66 has been fixed.

such as I and J.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.8.0 on June 13, 2008
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>javassist.bytecode.analysis was implemented.

<li>JASSIST-45, 47, 51, 54-57, 60, 62 were fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.7.1 on March 10, 2008
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>a bug of javassist.util.proxy has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.7 on January 20, 2008
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Several minor bugs have been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.6.0 on September 13, 2007
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.6.0.CR1 on July 27, 2007
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The stack map table introduced since Java 6 has been supported.
|
|
<li>CtClass#getDeclaredBehaviors() now returns a class initializer
|
|
as well as methods and constructors.
|
|
<li>The default status of automatic pruning was made off.
|
|
Instead of pruning, this version of Javassist compresses
|
|
the data structure of a class file after toBytecode() is called.
|
|
The compressed class file is automatically decompressed when needed.
|
|
This saves memory space better than pruning.
|
|
<li><a href="http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JASSIST-33">JIRA JASSIST-33</a> has been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.5 on April 29, 2007
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Various minor updates.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.4 on November 17, 2006
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A bug in CodeConverter#replaceFieldRead() and CodeConverter#replaceFieldWrite()
|
|
was fixed. <a href="http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-284">JBAOP-284</a>.
|
|
|
|
<li>A synchronization bug and a performance bug in <code>javassist.util.proxy</code>
|
|
have been fixed
|
|
(<a href="http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JASSIST-28">JASSIST-28</a>).
|
|
Now generated proxy classes are cached. To turn the caching off,
|
|
set <code>ProxyFactory.useCache</code> to <code>false</code>.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>-version 3.3 on August 17, 2006
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>CtClass#toClass() and ClassPool#toClass() were modified to accept a
|
|
<code>ProtectionDomain</code>
|
|
(<a href="http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JASSIST-23">JASSIST-23</a>).
|
|
Now ClassPool#toClass(CtClass, ClassLoader) should not be overridden. All
|
|
subclasses of ClassPool must override toClass(CtClass, ClassLoader,
|
|
ProtectionDomain).
|
|
|
|
<li>CtClass#getAvailableAnnotations() etc. have been implemented.
|
|
|
|
<li>A bug related to a way of dealing with a bridge method was fixed
|
|
(<a href="http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/HIBERNATE-37">HIBERNATE-37</a>).

|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Made ClassPool.get0 protected so that subclasses of ClassPool can call it.
|
|
<li>Moved all access to the class cache (the field ClassPool.classes) to a method called getCached(String classname). This is so subclasses of ClassPool can override this behavior.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>- version 2.5 in May, 2003.
|
|
<br>From this version, Javassist is part of the JBoss project.

|
<li>Now javassist.bytecode.Bytecode allows more than 255 local
|
|
variables in the same method.
|
|
<li>javassist.expr.Instanceof and Cast have been added.
|

|
|
expression.

|
|
have been added.
|

|
<li>Bugs in Bytecode.write() and read() have been fixed.
|

|
|
<li>In javassist.bytecode.Bytecode, addGetfield(), addGetstatic(),
|
|
addInvokespecial(), addInvokestatic(), addInvokevirtual(),

|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<li>Several bugs have been fixed.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>- version 2.0 (major update) in November, 2001.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The javassist.bytecode package has been provided. It is a
|
|
lower-level API for directly modifying a class file although
|
|
the users must have detailed knowledge of the Java bytecode.
|
|
|
|
<li>The mechanism for creating CtClass objects have been changed.
|
|
|
|
<li>javassist.tool.Dump moves to the javassist package.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>version 1.0 in July, 2001.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>javassist.reflect.Metaobject and ClassMetaobject was changed.

|
base-level object.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>- version 0.8
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>javassist.tool.Dump was added. It is a class file viewer.
|
|
|
|
<li>javassist.FiledInitializer.byNewArray() was added. It is for

|
|
|
<p>- version 0.7
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>javassit.Loader was largely modified. javassist.UserLoader was
|
|
deleted. Instead, Codebase was renamed to ClassPath
|
|
and UserClassPath was added. Now programmers who want to
|
|
customize Loader must write a class implementing UserClassPath
|
|
instead of UserLoader. This change is for sharing class search paths
|
|
between Loader and CtClass.CtClass(String).
|
|
|
|
<li>CtClass.addField(), addMethod(), addConstructor(), addWrapper() were
|
|
also largely modified so that it receives CtNewMethod, CtNewConstructor,
|
|
or CtNewField. The static methods for creating these objects were
|
|
added to the API.
|
|
|
|
<li>Constructors are now represented by CtConstructor objects.
|
|
CtConstructor is a subclass of CtMethod.
|
|
|
|
<li>CtClass.getUserAttribute() was removed. Use CtClass.getAttribute().
|
|
|
|
<li>javassist.rmi.RmiLoader was added.
|
|
|
|
<li>javassist.reflect.Metalevel._setMetaobject() was added. Now
|
|
metaobjects can be replaced at runtime.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>- version 0.6
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Javassist was modified to correctly deal with array types appearing
|
|
in signatures.
|
|

|
<li>A bug crashed resulting bytecode if a class includes a private static
|
|
filed. It has been fixed.
|
|
|
|
<li>javassist.CtNewInterface was added.
|
|
|
|
<li>javassist.Loader.recordClass() was renamed into makeClass().
|
|
|
|
<li>javassist.UserLoader.loadClass() was changed to take the second
|
|
parameter.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>- version 0.5
|
|
<ul>
|
|

|
|
</ul>
|

|
<p>- version 0.4
|
|
