The Javassist Core API.
Javassist (Java programming assistant) makes bytecode
engineering simple. It is a class library for editing
bytecode in Java; it enables Java programs to define a new class at
runtime and to modify a given class file when the JVM loads it.
The most significant class of this package is CtClass.
See the description of this class first.
To know the version number of this package, type the following command:
java -jar javassist.jar
It prints the version number on the console.
|
| Java Source File Name | Type | Comment |
| ByteArrayClassPath.java | Class | A ByteArrayClassPath contains bytes that is served as
a class file to a ClassPool. |
| CannotCompileException.java | Class | Thrown when bytecode transformation has failed. |
| ClassClassPath.java | Class | A search-path for obtaining a class file
by getResourceAsStream() in java.lang.Class.
Try adding a ClassClassPath when a program is running
with a user-defined class loader and any class files are not found with
the default ClassPool. |
| ClassMap.java | Class | A hash table associating class names with different names.
This hashtable is used for replacing class names in a class
definition or a method body. |
| ClassPath.java | Interface | ClassPath is an interface implemented by objects
representing a class search path. |
| ClassPool.java | Class | A container of CtClass objects.
A CtClass object must be obtained from this object.
If get() is called on this object,
it searches various sources represented by ClassPath
to find a class file and then it creates a CtClass object
representing that class file. |
| ClassPoolTail.java | Class | |
| CodeConverter.java | Class | Simple translator of method bodies
(also see the javassist.expr package).
Instances of this class specifies how to instrument of the
bytecodes representing a method body. |
| CtArray.java | Class | Array types. |
| CtBehavior.java | Class | CtBehavior represents a method, a constructor,
or a static constructor (class initializer). |
| CtClass.java | Class | An instance of CtClass represents a class. |
| CtClassType.java | Class | Class types. |
| CtConstructor.java | Class | An instance of CtConstructor represents a constructor.
It may represent a static constructor
(class initializer). |
| CtField.java | Class | An instance of CtField represents a field. |
| CtMember.java | Class | An instance of CtMember represents a field, a constructor,
or a method. |
| CtMethod.java | Class | An instance of CtMethod represents a method. |
| CtNewClass.java | Class | |
| CtNewConstructor.java | Class | A collection of static methods for creating a CtConstructor.
An instance of this class does not make any sense.
A class initializer (static constructor) cannot be created by the
methods in this class. |
| CtNewMethod.java | Class | A collection of static methods for creating a CtMethod. |
| CtNewNestedClass.java | Class | A newly created public nested class. |
| CtNewWrappedConstructor.java | Class | |
| CtNewWrappedMethod.java | Class | |
| CtPrimitiveType.java | Class | An instance of CtPrimitiveType represents a primitive type. |
| Loader.java | Class | The class loader for Javassist.
This is a sample class loader using ClassPool.
Unlike a regular class loader, this class loader obtains bytecode
from a ClassPool.
Note that Javassist can be used without this class loader; programmers
can define their own versions of class loader. |
| LoaderClassPath.java | Class | A class search-path representing a class loader.
It is used for obtaining a class file from the given
class loader by getResourceAsStream().
The LoaderClassPath refers to the class loader through
WeakReference. |
| Modifier.java | Class | The Modifier class provides static methods and constants to decode
class and member access modifiers. |
| NotFoundException.java | Class | Signals that something could not be found. |
| SerialVersionUID.java | Class | Utility for calculating serialVersionUIDs for Serializable classes. |
| Translator.java | Interface | An observer of Loader. |
| URLClassPath.java | Class | A class search-path specified with URL (http). |
