Method Detail

extendToString

protected void extendToString(StringBuffer buffer)

Description copied from class: CtMember

Invoked by CtMember.toString() to add to the buffer and provide the complete value. Subclasses should invoke this method, adding a space before each token. The modifiers for the member are provided first; subclasses should provide additional data such as return type, field or method name, etc.

Specified by:

extendToString in class CtMember

getLongName

public abstract String getLongName()

Returns the method or constructor name followed by parameter types such as javassist.CtBehavior.stBody(String).

Since:

3.5

getMethodInfo

public MethodInfo getMethodInfo()

Returns the MethodInfo representing this method/constructor in the class file.

If you modify the bytecode through the returned MethodInfo object, you might have to explicitly rebuild a stack map table. Javassist does not automatically rebuild it for avoiding unnecessary rebuilding.

See Also:

MethodInfo.rebuildStackMap(ClassPool)

getMethodInfo2

public MethodInfo getMethodInfo2()

Returns the MethodInfo representing the method/constructor in the class file (read only). Normal applications do not need calling this method. Use getMethodInfo().

The MethodInfo object obtained by this method is read only. Changes to this object might not be reflected on a class file generated by toBytecode(), toClass(), etc in CtClass.

This method is available even if the CtClass containing this method is frozen. However, if the class is frozen, the MethodInfo might be also pruned.

See Also:

getMethodInfo(), CtClass.isFrozen(), CtClass.prune()

getModifiers

public int getModifiers()

Obtains the modifiers of the method/constructor.

Specified by:

getModifiers in class CtMember

Returns:

modifiers encoded with javassist.Modifier.

See Also:

Modifier

setModifiers

public void setModifiers(int mod)

Sets the encoded modifiers of the method/constructor.

Changing the modifiers may cause a problem. For example, if a non-static method is changed to static, the method will be rejected by the bytecode verifier.

Specified by:

setModifiers in class CtMember

Specified by:

getAnnotation in class CtMember

Parameters:

clz - the annotation class.

Returns:

the annotation if found, otherwise null.

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

Since:

3.11

public Object[] getAvailableAnnotations()

Returns the annotations associated with this method or constructor. If any annotations are not on the classpath, they are not included in the returned array.

Specified by:

getAvailableAnnotations in class CtMember

Returns:

an array of annotation-type objects.

Since:

3.3

See Also:

getAnnotations()

getParameterAnnotations

public Object[][] getParameterAnnotations()
                                   throws ClassNotFoundException

getParameterTypes

public CtClass[] getParameterTypes()
                            throws NotFoundException

Obtains parameter types of this method/constructor.

Throws:

NotFoundException

getSignature

public String getSignature()

Returns the method signature (the parameter types and the return type). The method signature is represented by a character string called method descriptor, which is defined in the JVM specification. If two methods/constructors have the same parameter types and the return type, getSignature() returns the same string (the return type of constructors is void).

Note that the returned string is not the type signature contained in the SignatureAttirbute. It is a descriptor. To obtain a type signature, call the following methods:

getMethodInfo().getAttribute(SignatureAttribute.tag)
 

Specified by:

getSignature in class CtMember

See Also:

Descriptor, SignatureAttribute

Parameters:

name - attribute name

setAttribute

public void setAttribute(String name,
                byte[] data)

Parameters:

name - attribute name

data - attribute value

useCflow

public void useCflow(String name)
              throws CannotCompileException

Declares to use $cflow for this method/constructor. If $cflow is used, the class files modified with Javassist requires a support class javassist.runtime.Cflow at runtime (other Javassist classes are not required at runtime).

Every $cflow variable is given a unique name. For example, if the given name is "Point.paint", then the variable is indicated by $cflow(Point.paint).

Parameters:

name - $cflow name. It can include alphabets, numbers, _, $, and . (dot).

Throws:

CannotCompileException

See Also:

Cflow

addLocalVariable

public void addLocalVariable(String name,
                    CtClass type)
                      throws CannotCompileException

Declares a new local variable. The scope of this variable is the whole method body. The initial value of that variable is not set. The declared variable can be accessed in the code snippet inserted by insertBefore(), insertAfter(), etc.

If the second parameter asFinally to insertAfter() is true, the declared local variable is not visible from the code inserted by insertAfter().

Parameters:

name - the name of the variable

type - the type of the variable

Throws:

CannotCompileException

See Also:

insertBefore(String), insertAfter(String)

insertParameter

public void insertParameter(CtClass type)
                     throws CannotCompileException

Inserts a new parameter, which becomes the first parameter.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

addParameter

public void addParameter(CtClass type)
                  throws CannotCompileException

Appends a new parameter, which becomes the last parameter.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

instrument

public void instrument(CodeConverter converter)
                throws CannotCompileException

Modifies the method/constructor body.

Parameters:

converter - specifies how to modify.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

instrument

public void instrument(ExprEditor editor)
                throws CannotCompileException

Modifies the method/constructor body.

While executing this method, only replace() in Expr is available for bytecode modification. Other methods such as insertBefore() may collapse the bytecode because the ExprEditor loses its current position.

Parameters:

editor - specifies how to modify.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

See Also:

Expr.replace(String), insertBefore(String)

insertBefore

public void insertBefore(String src)
                  throws CannotCompileException

Inserts bytecode at the beginning of the body.

If this object represents a constructor, the bytecode is inserted before a constructor in the super class or this class is called. Therefore, the inserted bytecode is subject to constraints described in Section 4.8.2 of The Java Virtual Machine Specification (2nd ed). For example, it cannot access instance fields or methods although it may assign a value to an instance field directly declared in this class. Accessing static fields and methods is allowed. Use insertBeforeBody() in CtConstructor.

Parameters:

src - the source code representing the inserted bytecode. It must be a single statement or block.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

See Also:

CtConstructor.insertBeforeBody(String)

insertAfter

public void insertAfter(String src)
                 throws CannotCompileException

Inserts bytecode at the end of the body. The bytecode is inserted just before every return insturction. It is not executed when an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

src - the source code representing the inserted bytecode. It must be a single statement or block.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

insertAfter

public void insertAfter(String src,
               boolean asFinally)
                 throws CannotCompileException

Inserts bytecode at the end of the body. The bytecode is inserted just before every return insturction.

Parameters:

src - the source code representing the inserted bytecode. It must be a single statement or block.

asFinally - true if the inserted bytecode is executed not only when the control normally returns but also when an exception is thrown. If this parameter is true, the inserted code cannot access local variables.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

addCatch

public void addCatch(String src,
            CtClass exceptionType)
              throws CannotCompileException

Adds a catch clause that handles an exception thrown in the body. The catch clause must end with a return or throw statement.

Parameters:

src - the source code representing the catch clause. It must be a single statement or block.

exceptionType - the type of the exception handled by the catch clause.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

addCatch

public void addCatch(String src,
            CtClass exceptionType,
            String exceptionName)
              throws CannotCompileException

Adds a catch clause that handles an exception thrown in the body. The catch clause must end with a return or throw statement.

Parameters:

src - the source code representing the catch clause. It must be a single statement or block.

exceptionType - the type of the exception handled by the catch clause.

exceptionName - the name of the variable containing the caught exception, for example, $e.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

insertAt

public int insertAt(int lineNum,
           String src)
             throws CannotCompileException

Inserts bytecode at the specified line in the body. It is equivalent to:
insertAt(lineNum, true, src)
See this method as well.

Parameters:

lineNum - the line number. The bytecode is inserted at the beginning of the code at the line specified by this line number.

src - the source code representing the inserted bytecode. It must be a single statement or block.

Returns:

the line number at which the bytecode has been inserted.

Throws:

CannotCompileException

See Also:

insertAt(int,boolean,String)

insertAt

public int insertAt(int lineNum,
           boolean modify,
           String src)
             throws CannotCompileException

Inserts bytecode at the specified line in the body.

If there is not a statement at the specified line, the bytecode might be inserted at the line including the first statement after that line specified. For example, if there is only a closing brace at that line, the bytecode would be inserted at another line below. To know exactly where the bytecode will be inserted, call with modify set to false.

Parameters:

lineNum - the line number. The bytecode is inserted at the beginning of the code at the line specified by this line number.

modify - if false, this method does not insert the bytecode. It instead only returns the line number at which the bytecode would be inserted.

src - the source code representing the inserted bytecode. It must be a single statement or block. If modify is false, the value of src can be null.

Returns:

the line number at which the bytecode has been inserted.

Throws:

CannotCompileException
