Method Detail

visit

public DynamicType.Builder<T> visit(AsmVisitorWrapper asmVisitorWrapper)

Applies the supplied AsmVisitorWrapper onto the ClassVisitor during building a dynamic type. Using an ASM visitor, it is possible to manipulate byte code directly. Byte Buddy does not validate directly created byte code and it remains the responsibility of the visitor's implementor to generate legal byte code. If several ASM visitor wrappers are registered, they are applied on top of another in their registration order.

Parameters:

asmVisitorWrapper - The ASM visitor wrapper to apply during

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder and applies the ASM visitor wrapper.

suffix

suffix - The suffix to append to the current type name.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the instrumented type named suffixed by the supplied suffix.

name

public DynamicType.Builder<T> name(String name)

Names the dynamic type by the supplied name. The name needs to be fully qualified and in the binary format (packages separated by dots: foo.Bar). A type's package determines what other types are visible to the instrumented type and what methods can be overridden or be represented in method signatures or as field types.

Parameters:

name - The fully qualified name of the generated class in a binary format.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the instrumented type named by the supplied name.

Parameters:

modifiers - The modifiers of the instrumented type.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the supplied modifiers applied onto the instrumented type.

merge

public DynamicType.Builder<T> merge(Collection<? extends ModifierContributor.ForType> modifierContributors)

Merges the supplied modifier contributors with the modifiers of the instrumented type and defines them as the instrumented type's new modifiers.

Important: Changing the declaration hierarchy of a type has no influence on the nest mate hierarchy.

Warning: By changing this type's declaration, any other type will not change its declaration of enclosing members or declared types about any nesting of a declaration. It is the responsibility of the user of this API to keep such declarations consistent among the definitions of connected types.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but without any declaration of a a declared or enclosed type.

innerTypeOf

public DynamicType.Builder.InnerTypeDefinition.ForType<T> innerTypeOf(TypeDescription type)

Defines this type as an inner type of the supplied type. Without any additional configuration, the type declaration is defined as a local type.

Important: Changing the declaration hierarchy of a type has no influence on the nest mate hierarchy.

Warning: By changing this type's declaration, any other type will not change its declaration of enclosing members or declared types about any nesting of a declaration. It is the responsibility of the user of this API to keep such declarations consistent among the definitions of connected types.

Parameters:

type - The type to declare as the built type's outer type.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder with the supplied type as the built type's outer type.

public DynamicType.Builder<T> declaredTypes(Collection<? extends TypeDescription> types)

Defines this type as an the outer type of the supplied types. Using this method, it is possible to add inner type declarations for anonymous or local types which are not normally exposed by type descriptions. Doing so, it is however possible to indicate to Byte Buddy that the required attributes for such an inner type declaration should be added to a class file.

Important: Changing the declaration hierarchy of a type has no influence on the nest mate hierarchy.

Warning: By changing this type's declaration, any other type will not change its declaration of enclosing members or declared types about any nesting of a declaration. It is the responsibility of the user of this API to keep such declarations consistent among the definitions of connected types.

Implements the supplied interfaces for the instrumented type. Optionally, it is possible to define the methods that are defined by the interfaces or the interfaces' super interfaces. This excludes methods that are explicitly ignored.

Note: This methods implements the supplied types as is, i.e. any TypeDescription values are implemented as raw types if they declare type variables or an owner type.

Parameters:

interfaceTypes - The interface types to implement.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the interfaces implemented by the instrumented type.

initializer

public DynamicType.Builder<T> initializer(ByteCodeAppender byteCodeAppender)

Executes the supplied byte code appender within the beginning of the instrumented type's type initializer. The supplied byte code appender must not return from the method. If several byte code appenders are supplied, they are executed within their application order.

This method should only be used for preparing an instrumented type with a specific configuration. Normally, a byte code appender is applied via Byte Buddy's standard API by invoking DynamicType.Builder.invokable(ElementMatcher) using the ElementMatchers.isTypeInitializer() matcher.

Parameters:

byteCodeAppender - The byte code appender to execute within the instrumented type's type initializer.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the supplied byte code appender being executed within the instrumented type's type initializer.

Defines the supplied type variable with the given bound as a type variable of the instrumented type.

Parameters:

symbol - The type variable's symbol.

bounds - The type variable's upper bounds. Can also be TargetType if the bound type should be equal to the currently instrumented type.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the given type variable defined for the instrumented type.

transform

public DynamicType.Builder<T> transform(ElementMatcher<? super TypeDescription.Generic> matcher,
                                        Transformer<TypeVariableToken> transformer)

Transforms any type variable that is defined by this type if it is matched by the supplied matcher.

Parameters:

matcher - The matcher to decide what type variables to transform.

transformer - The transformer to apply to the matched type variables.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the supplied transformer applied to all type variables.

defineField

public DynamicType.Builder.FieldDefinition.Optional.Valuable<T> defineField(String name,
                                                                            TypeDefinition type,

Defines the specified field as a field of the built dynamic type.

Parameters:

name - The name of the field.

type - The type of the field. Can also be TargetType if the field type should be equal to the currently instrumented type.

modifiers - The modifiers of the field.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but with the given field defined for the instrumented type. Furthermore, it is possible to optionally define a value, annotations or custom attributes for the field.

field

public DynamicType.Builder.FieldDefinition.Valuable<T> field(LatentMatcher<? super FieldDescription> matcher)

Matches a field that is already declared by the instrumented type. This gives opportunity to change that field's default value, annotations or custom attributes. Using a latent matcher gives opportunity to resolve an ElementMatcher based on the instrumented type before applying the matcher.

When a type is redefined or rebased, any annotations that the field declared previously is preserved as it is if Byte Buddy is configured to retain such annotations by AnnotationRetention.ENABLED. If any existing annotations should be altered, annotation retention must be disabled.

If a field is already matched by a previously specified field matcher, the new field definition gets precedence over the previous definition, i.e. the previous field definition is no longer applied.

Parameters:

matcher - The matcher that determines what declared fields are affected by the subsequent specification.

Returns:

A builder that allows for changing a field's definition.

ignoreAlso

public DynamicType.Builder<T> ignoreAlso(LatentMatcher<? super MethodDescription> ignoredMethods)

Specifies to exclude any method that is matched by the supplied matcher from instrumentation. Previously supplied matchers remain valid after supplying a new matcher, i.e. any method that is matched by a previously supplied matcher is always ignored. Using a latent matcher gives opportunity to resolve an ElementMatcher based on the instrumented type before applying the matcher.

When ignoring a type, previously registered matchers are applied before this matcher. If a previous matcher indicates that a type is to be ignored, this matcher is no longer executed.

Parameters:

ignoredMethods - The matcher for determining what methods to exclude from instrumentation.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but that is excluding any method that is matched by the supplied matcher from instrumentation.

defineMethod

public DynamicType.Builder.MethodDefinition.ParameterDefinition.Initial<T> defineMethod(String name,
                                                                                        TypeDefinition returnType,
                                                                                        int modifiers)

Defines the specified method to be declared by the instrumented type. Method parameters or parameter types, declared exceptions and type variables can be defined in subsequent steps.

Parameters:

name - The name of the method.

returnType - The method's return type. Can also be TargetType if the return type should be equal to the currently instrumented type.

modifiers - The method's modifiers.

Returns:

A builder that allows for further defining the method, either by adding more properties or by defining an implementation.

defineConstructor

public DynamicType.Builder.MethodDefinition.ParameterDefinition.Initial<T> defineConstructor(int modifiers)

Defines the specified constructor to be declared by the instrumented type. Method parameters or parameter types, declared exceptions and type variables can be defined in subsequent steps.

Parameters:

modifiers - The constructor's modifiers.

Returns:

A builder that allows for further defining the constructor, either by adding more properties or by defining an implementation.

invokable

public DynamicType.Builder.MethodDefinition.ImplementationDefinition<T> invokable(LatentMatcher<? super MethodDescription> matcher)

Matches a method or constructor that is already declared or inherited by the instrumented type. This gives opportunity to change or to override that method's or constructor's implementation, default value, annotations or custom attributes. It is also possible to make a method abstract. Using a latent matcher gives opportunity to resolve an ElementMatcher based on the instrumented type before applying the matcher.

When a type is redefined or rebased, any annotations that the method or constructor declared previously is preserved as it is if Byte Buddy is configured to retain such annotations by AnnotationRetention.ENABLED. If any existing annotations should be altered, annotation retention must be disabled.

If a method or constructor is already matched by a previously specified matcher, the new definition gets precedence over the previous definition, i.e. the previous definition is no longer applied.

Note that the specified definition does never apply for methods that are explicitly ignored.

Important: It is possible to instrument the dynamic type's initializer. Depending on the used TypeResolutionStrategy, the type initializer might be run before Byte Buddy could apply any LoadedTypeInitializers which are responsible for preparing the instrumented type prior to the initializer's execution. For preparing the type prior to executing the initializer, an TypeResolutionStrategy.Active resolver must be chosen.

Parameters:

matcher - The matcher that determines what declared methods or constructors are affected by the subsequent specification.

Returns:

A builder that allows for changing a method's or constructor's definition.

defineRecordComponent

public DynamicType.Builder.RecordComponentDefinition.Optional<T> defineRecordComponent(String name,
                                                                                       TypeDefinition type)

Defines a new record component. Note that this does not add or change implementations for a field, an accessor to this field or a constructor unless ByteBuddy.makeRecord() is used.

Parameters:

name - The record component's name.

type - The record component's type.

Returns:

A new builder that is equal to this builder but also defines the supplied record component.

recordComponent

public DynamicType.Builder.RecordComponentDefinition<T> recordComponent(LatentMatcher<? super RecordComponentDescription> matcher)

Matches a record component that is already declared by the instrumented type. This gives opportunity to change that record component's annotations or custom attributes.

When a type is redefined or rebased, any annotations that the field declared previously is preserved as it is if Byte Buddy is configured to retain such annotations by AnnotationRetention.ENABLED. If any existing annotations should be altered, annotation retention must be disabled.

If a record component is already matched by a previously specified record component matcher, the new record component definition gets precedence over the previous definition, i.e. the previous record component definition is no longer applied.

Parameters:

matcher - The matcher that determines what declared record components are affected by the subsequent specification.

Returns:

A builder that allows for changing a record component's definition.
