Method Detail

getClassLoadersForClass

public ClassLoader[] getClassLoadersForClass(String className)

Find the classloader(s) for the named class. Typically there will only be one ClassLoader returned. However, if more than one is returned, they should be called in turn until one is able to load the class.

Parameters:

className - The class name.

Returns:

The classloader(s) for the named class.

getMatchProcessorExceptions

public List<Throwable> getMatchProcessorExceptions()

Return the exceptions and errors thrown during classloading and/or while calling MatchProcessors on loaded classes.

Returns:

A list of Throwables thrown while MatchProcessors were running.

getUniqueClasspathElements

public List<File> getUniqueClasspathElements()

Returns the list of File objects for unique classpath elements (directories or jarfiles), in classloader resolution order.

Returns:

The unique classpath elements.

getUniqueClasspathElementsAsPathStr

public String getUniqueClasspathElementsAsPathStr()

Returns all unique directories or zip/jarfiles on the classpath, in classloader resolution order, as a classpath string, delineated with the standard path separator character.

Returns:

a the unique directories and jarfiles on the classpath, in classpath resolution order, as a path string.

getUniqueClasspathElementURLs

public List<URL> getUniqueClasspathElementURLs()

Returns the list of unique classpath element paths as URLs, in classloader resolution order.

Returns:

The unique classpath element URLs.

classpathContentsModifiedSinceScan

public boolean classpathContentsModifiedSinceScan()

Determine whether the classpath contents have been modified since the last scan. Checks the timestamps of files and jarfiles encountered during the previous scan to see if they have changed. Does not perform a full scan, so cannot detect the addition of directories that newly match whitelist criteria -- you need to perform a full scan to detect those changes.

Returns:

true if the classpath contents have been modified since the last scan.

classpathContentsLastModifiedTime

public long classpathContentsLastModifiedTime()

Find the maximum last-modified timestamp of any whitelisted file/directory/jarfile encountered during the scan. Checks the current timestamps, so this should increase between calls if something changes in whitelisted paths. Assumes both file and system timestamps were generated from clocks whose time was accurate. Ignores timestamps greater than the system time.

This method cannot in general tell if classpath has changed (or modules have been added or removed) if it is run twice during the same runtime session.

the maximum last-modified time for whitelisted files/directories/jars encountered during the scan.

                                        boolean showMethods)

Generate a .dot file which can be fed into GraphViz for layout and visualization of the class graph. The sizeX and sizeY parameters are the image output size to use (in inches) when GraphViz is asked to render the .dot file.

Note that if you call this with showFields or showMethods set to false, but with method and/or field info enabled during scanning, then arrows will still be added between classes even if the field or method that created that dependency is not shown.

Parameters:

sizeX - The GraphViz layout width in inches.

sizeY - The GraphViz layout width in inches.

showFields - If true, show fields within class nodes in the graph. To show field info, FastClasspathScanner.enableFieldInfo() should be called before scanning. You may also want to call FastClasspathScanner.ignoreFieldVisibility() before scanning, to show non-public fields.

showMethods - If true, show methods within class nodes in the graph. To show method info, FastClasspathScanner.enableMethodInfo() should be called before scanning. You may also want to call FastClasspathScanner.ignoreMethodVisibility() before scanning, to show non-public methods.

Returns:

the GraphViz file contents.

generateClassGraphDotFile

public String generateClassGraphDotFile(float sizeX,

Generate a .dot file which can be fed into GraphViz for layout and visualization of the class graph. Methods and fields are shown, if method and field info have been enabled respectively, via FastClasspathScanner.enableMethodInfo() and FastClasspathScanner.enableFieldInfo(). Only public methods/fields are shown, unless FastClasspathScanner.ignoreMethodVisibility() and/or FastClasspathScanner.ignoreFieldVisibility() has been called. The sizeX and sizeY parameters are the image output size to use (in inches) when GraphViz is asked to render the .dot file.

Parameters:

sizeX - The GraphViz layout width in inches.

sizeY - The GraphViz layout width in inches.

Returns:

the GraphViz file contents.

Only public methods/fields are shown, unless FastClasspathScanner.ignoreMethodVisibility() and/or FastClasspathScanner.ignoreFieldVisibility() has been called. The size defaults to 10.5 x 8 inches.

Returns:

the GraphViz file contents.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if ignoreExceptions is false, IllegalArgumentException is thrown if there were problems loading the class, initializing the class, or casting it to the requested type. (Note that class initialization on load is disabled by default, you can enable it with FastClasspathScanner#initializeLoadedClasses(true) .) Otherwise exceptions are suppressed, and null is returned if any of these problems occurs.

classNameToClassRef

public Class<?> classNameToClassRef(String className)
                             throws IllegalArgumentException

Produce Class reference given a class name. If the class cannot be loaded (due to classloading error, or due to an exception being thrown in the class initialization block), an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Enable verbose scanning to see details of any exceptions thrown during classloading, even if ignoreExceptions is false.

Parameters:

className - The names of the classe to load.

Returns:

a reference to the loaded class, or null if the class could not be loaded and ignoreExceptions is true.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there were problems loading or initializing the class. (Note that class initialization on load is disabled by default, you can enable it with FastClasspathScanner#initializeLoadedClasses(true) .)

classNameToClassRef

public <T> Class<T> classNameToClassRef(String className,
                                        Class<T> classType)
                                 throws IllegalArgumentException

Produce Class reference given a class name. If the class cannot be loaded (due to classloading error, or due to an exception being thrown in the class initialization block), an IllegalArgumentException is thrown.

Enable verbose scanning to see details of any exceptions thrown during classloading, even if ignoreExceptions is false.

Parameters:

className - The names of the classe to load.

classType - The class type to cast the result to.

Returns:

a reference to the loaded class, or null if the class could not be loaded and ignoreExceptions is true.

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if there were problems loading the class, initializing the class, or casting it to the requested type. (Note that class initialization on load is disabled by default, you can enable it with FastClasspathScanner#initializeLoadedClasses(true) .)

fromJSON

public static ScanResult fromJSON(String json)

Deserialize a ScanResult from previously-saved JSON.

toJSON

public String toJSON(int indentWidth)

Serialize a ScanResult to JSON.

Parameters:

indentWidth - If greater than 0, JSON will be formatted (indented), otherwise it will be minified (un-indented).

toJSON

public String toJSON()

Serialize a ScanResult to minified (un-indented) JSON.

freeTempFiles

public void freeTempFiles(LogNode log)

Free any temporary files created by extracting jars from within jars. By default, temporary files are removed at the end of a scan, after MatchProcessors have completed, so this typically does not need to be called. The case where it might need to be called is if the list of classpath elements has been fetched, and the classpath contained jars within jars. Without calling this method, the temporary files created by extracting the inner jars will not be removed until the temporary file system cleans them up (typically at reboot).

Parameters:

log - The log.

finalize

protected void finalize()
                 throws Throwable

Overrides:

finalize in class Object

Throws:

Throwable
