<h1>Javassist version 2</h1>
<h3>in February, 2003.
<br>Copyright (C) 2000-2003 by Shigeru Chiba, All rights reserved.</h3>
<p><br></p>
<p>Javassist (JAVA programming ASSISTant) is yet another reflective
system for Java. 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. On the other hand, the bytecode-level API allows
the users to directly edit a class file.

<h2>How to run sample programs</h2>
<p>JDK 1.2.2 or later is needed.
<h3>1. Move to the directory where this Readme.html file is located.</h3>
<p>In the description below, we assume that the platform is JDK 1.2
(or later) for Solaris. If the platform is JDK 1.2 (or later) for
Windows, the class-path option is:
<ul><pre>
-classpath ".;javassist.jar"
</pre></ul>
<p>If you don't want to put the class-path option, copy
<tt>./javassist.jar</tt> to
<ul>&lt;<i>java-home</i>&gt;<tt>/jre/lib/ext/</tt>.</ul>
<p>&lt;<i>java-home</i>&gt; depends on the system. It is usually
<tt>/usr/local/java</tt>, <tt>c:\jdk1.2\</tt>, etc.
<p>If you don't use javassist.jar, first compile Javassist:
<ul><pre>
% cd src
% javac -d .. javassist/*.java javassist/*/*.java
% cd ..
</pre></ul>
<p>Then you can compile and run the sample programs without the class-path
option.
<h3>2. sample/Test.java</h3>
<p> This is a very simple program using Javassist.
<p> To run, type the commands:
<ul><pre>
% javac -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/Test.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/reflect/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" javassist.reflect.Loader sample.reflect.Main Joe
</pre></ul>
<p>Compare this result with that of the regular execution without reflection:
<ul><pre>% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -cp ".:javassist.jar" javassist.reflect.Compiler sample.reflect.Person -m sample.reflect.VerboseMetaobj
</pre></ul>
<p> Then,
<ul><pre>
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/duplicate/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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.
This is a demonstration of the use of <tt>javassist.preproc</tt> package.
<p> To run, type the commands:
<ul><pre>
% javac -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/vector/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" javassist.preproc.Compiler sample/vector/Test.j
% javac sample/vector/Test.java
% java sample.vector.Test
</pre></ul>
<p>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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/rmi/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/evolve/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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. Hints</h3>
<p>Javassist provides a class file viewer for debugging. For more details,
see javassist.Dump.
<p><br>
<h2>Changes</h2>
<p>- version 2.4 in February, 2003.
<ul>
<li>The compiler included in Javassist did not correctly work with
interface methods. This bug was fixed.
<li>Now javassist.bytecode.Bytecode allows more than 255 local
variables in the same method.
<li>javassist.expr.Instanceof and Cast have been added.
<li>javassist.expr.{MethodCall,NewExpr,FieldAccess,Instanceof,Cast}.where()
have been added. They return the caller-side method surrounding the
expression.
<li>javassist.expr.{MethodCall,NewExpr,FieldAccess,Instanceof,Cast}.mayThrow()
have been added.
<li>$class has been introduced.
<li>The parameters to replaceFieldRead(), replaceFieldWrite(),
and redirectFieldAccess() in javassist.CodeConverter are changed.
<li>The compiler could not correctly handle a try-catch statement.
This bug has been fixed.
</ul>
<p>- version 2.3 in December, 2002.
<ul>
<li>The tutorial has been revised a bit.
<li>SerialVersionUID class was donated by Bob Lee. Thanks.
<li>CtMethod.setBody() and CtConstructor.setBody() have been added.
<li>javassist.reflect.ClassMetaobject.useContextClassLoader has been added.
If true, the reflection package does not use Class.forName() but uses
a context class loader specified by the user.
<li>$sig and $type are now available.
<li>Bugs in Bytecode.write() and read() have been fixed.
</ul>
<p>- version 2.2 in October, 2002.
<ul>
<li>The tutorial has been revised.
<li>A new package <code>javassist.expr</code> has been added.
This is replacement of classic <code>CodeConverter</code>.
<li>javassist.ConstParameter was changed into
javassist.CtMethod.ConstParameter.
<li>javassist.FieldInitializer was renamed into
javassist.CtField.Initializer.
<li>A bug in javassist.bytecode.Bytecode.addInvokeinterface() has been
fixed.
<li>In javassist.bytecode.Bytecode, addGetfield(), addGetstatic(),
addInvokespecial(), addInvokestatic(), addInvokevirtual(),
and addInvokeinterface()
have been modified to update the current statck depth.
</ul>
<p>- version 2.1 in July, 2002.
<ul>
<li>javassist.CtMember and javassist.CtBehavior have been added.
<li>javassist.CtClass.toBytecode() has been added.
<li>javassist.CtClass.toClass() and javassist.ClassPool.writeAsClass()
has been added.
<li>javassist.ByteArrayClassPath has been added.
<li>javassist.bytecode.Mnemonic has been added.
<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.
Now they throw the same exception that they receive from a
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
initializing a field with an array object.
<li>javassist.CodeConverter.redirectMethodCall() was added.
<li>javassist.Run was added.
</ul>
<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.

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.

<h2>How to run sample programs</h2>

<p>JDK 1.2.2 or later is needed.

<h3>1. Move to the directory where this Readme.html file is located.</h3>

<p>In the description below, we assume that the platform is JDK 1.2
(or later) for Solaris. If the platform is JDK 1.2 (or later) for
Windows, the class-path option is:

<ul><pre>
-classpath ".;javassist.jar"
</pre></ul>

<p>If you don't want to put the class-path option, copy
<tt>./javassist.jar</tt> to

<ul>&lt;<i>java-home</i>&gt;<tt>/jre/lib/ext/</tt>.</ul>

<p>&lt;<i>java-home</i>&gt; depends on the system. It is usually
<tt>/usr/local/java</tt>, <tt>c:\jdk1.2\</tt>, etc.

<p>If you don't use javassist.jar, first compile Javassist:
<ul><pre>
% cd src
% javac -d .. javassist/*.java javassist/*/*.java
% cd ..
</pre></ul>

<p>Then you can compile and run the sample programs without the class-path
option.

<h3>2. sample/Test.java</h3>

<p> This is a very simple program using Javassist.

<p> To run, type the commands:

<ul><pre>
% javac -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/Test.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/reflect/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" javassist.reflect.Loader sample.reflect.Main Joe
</pre></ul>

<p>Compare this result with that of the regular execution without reflection:

<ul><pre>% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -cp ".:javassist.jar" javassist.reflect.Compiler sample.reflect.Person -m sample.reflect.VerboseMetaobj
</pre></ul>

<p> Then,
<ul><pre>
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/duplicate/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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.
This is a demonstration of the use of <tt>javassist.preproc</tt> package.

<p> To run, type the commands:
<ul><pre>
% javac -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/vector/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" javassist.preproc.Compiler sample/vector/Test.j
% javac sample/vector/Test.java
% java sample.vector.Test
</pre></ul>

<p>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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/rmi/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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 -classpath ".:javassist.jar" sample/evolve/*.java
% java -cp ".:javassist.jar" 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. Hints</h3>

<p>Javassist provides a class file viewer for debugging. For more details,
see javassist.Dump.

<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
initializing a field with an array object.

<li>javassist.CodeConverter.redirectMethodCall() was added.

<li>javassist.Run was added.
</ul>

<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>

<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.Loader.recordClass() was renamed into makeClass().

<li>javassist.UserLoader.loadClass() was changed to take the second
parameter.
