Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
static ClassTransformer	allOf(Collection<? extends ClassTransformer> transformers)	Get a new transformer which applies all the transformations in the given collection.
default ClassTransformer	andThen(ClassTransformer other)	Get a new transformer which applies this transformation followed by another transformation.
ByteBuffer	transform(ClassLoader loader, String className, ProtectionDomain protectionDomain, ByteBuffer classBytes)	Transform the bytes of a class.

Field Detail

IDENTITY

static final ClassTransformer IDENTITY

The identity transformation, which does not modify the class bytes at all.

Method Detail

transform

ByteBuffer transform(ClassLoader loader,
                     String className,
                     ProtectionDomain protectionDomain,
                     ByteBuffer classBytes)
              throws IllegalArgumentException

Transform the bytes of a class. The position and limit of both the passed-in and returned buffers must mark the start and end of the class bytes.

Parameters:

loader - the class loader of the class being transformed

className - the internal name of the class being transformed (not null)

protectionDomain - the protection domain of the class, if any

classBytes - the class bytes being transformed (not null; may be a direct or heap buffer)

Returns:

the transformation result (may be a direct or heap buffer)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the class could not be transformed for some reason

andThen

default ClassTransformer andThen(ClassTransformer other)

Get a new transformer which applies this transformation followed by another transformation.

Parameters:

other - the other transformation (must not be null)

Returns:

the new transformer (not null)

allOf

static ClassTransformer allOf(Collection<? extends ClassTransformer> transformers)

Get a new transformer which applies all the transformations in the given collection. The collection should either be immutable or safe for concurrent iteration. A synchronized collection is insufficiently thread-safe.

Parameters:

transformers - the transformer collection (must not be null)

Returns:

the new transformer (not null)
