Class DynamicClassWriter

java.lang.Object
  org.eclipse.persistence.dynamic.DynamicClassWriter

public class DynamicClassWriter
extends java.lang.Object

Write the byte codes of a dynamic entity class. The class writer will create the byte codes for a dynamic class that subclasses any provided class replicating its constructors and writeReplace method (if one exists).

The intent is to provide a common writer for dynamic JPA entities but also allow for subclasses of this to be used in more complex writing situations such as SDO and DBWS.

Instances of this class and any subclasses are maintained within the DynamicClassLoader.getClassWriters() and DynamicClassLoader.defaultWriter for the life of the class loader so it is important that no unnecessary state be maintained that may effect memory usage.

parentClass

protected java.lang.Class<?> parentClass

parentClassName

protected java.lang.String parentClassName

Name of parent class. This is used only when the parent class is not known at the time the dynamic class writer is registered. This is generally only required when loading from an XML mapping file where the order of class access is not known.

ICONST

public static int[] ICONST

Constructor Detail

DynamicClassWriter

public DynamicClassWriter()

DynamicClassWriter

public DynamicClassWriter(java.lang.Class<?> parentClass)

DynamicClassWriter

public DynamicClassWriter(java.lang.String parentClassName)

Create using a loader and class name so that the parent class can be lazily loaded when the writer is used to generate a dynamic class.

The loader must not be null and the parentClassName must not be null and not an empty String. The parentClassName will be converted to a class using the provided loader lazily.

getParentClass(), DynamicException.illegalDynamicClassWriter(DynamicClassLoader, String)

Method Detail

getParentClass

public java.lang.Class<?> getParentClass()

getParentClassName

public java.lang.String getParentClassName()

writeClass

public byte[] writeClass(DynamicClassLoader loader,
                         java.lang.String className)
                  throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

createEnum

protected byte[] createEnum(DynamicClassLoader.EnumInfo enumInfo)

verify

protected boolean verify(java.lang.Class<?> dynamicClass,
                         java.lang.ClassLoader loader)
                  throws java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

Verify that the provided class meets the requirements of the writer. In the case of DynamicClassWriter this will ensure that the class is a subclass of the parentClass

Parameters:

dynamicClass -

Throws:

java.lang.ClassNotFoundException

getInterfaces

protected java.lang.String[] getInterfaces()

Interfaces the dynamic entity class implements. By default this is none but in the case of SDO a concrete interface must be implemented. Subclasses should override this as required.

Returns:

Interfaces implemented by Dynamic class. May be null

createCopy

protected DynamicClassWriter createCopy(java.lang.Class<?> parentClass)

Create a copy of this DynamicClassWriter but with a different parent class.

See Also:

DynamicClassLoader.addClass(String, Class)

isCompatible

protected boolean isCompatible(DynamicClassWriter writer)

Verify that the provided writer is compatible with the current writer. Returning true means that the bytes that would be created using this writer are identical with what would come from the provided writer.

Used in DynamicClassLoader.addClass(String, DynamicClassWriter) to verify if a duplicate request of the same className can proceed and return the same class that may already exist.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
