Interface LoadedTypeInitializer

All Known Implementing Classes:

AgentBuilder.InitializationStrategy.SelfInjection.Dispatcher.InjectingInitializer, LoadedTypeInitializer.Compound, LoadedTypeInitializer.ForStaticField, LoadedTypeInitializer.NoOp

public interface LoadedTypeInitializer

Implementations of this interface explicitly initialize a loaded type. Usually, such implementations inject runtime context into an instrumented type which cannot be defined by the means of the Java class file format.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
static class	LoadedTypeInitializer.Compound A compound loaded type initializer that combines several type initializers.
static class	LoadedTypeInitializer.ForStaticField A type initializer for setting a value for a static field.
static class	LoadedTypeInitializer.NoOp A loaded type initializer that does not do anything.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	isAlive() Indicates if this initializer is alive and needs to be invoked.
void	onLoad(Class<?> type) Callback that is invoked on the creation of an instrumented type.

Method Detail

onLoad

void onLoad(Class<?> type)

Callback that is invoked on the creation of an instrumented type. If the loaded type initializer is alive, this method should be implemented empty instead of throwing an exception.

Parameters:

type - The manifestation of the instrumented type.

isAlive

boolean isAlive()

Indicates if this initializer is alive and needs to be invoked. This is only meant as a mark. A loaded type initializer that is not alive might still be called and must therefore not throw an exception but rather provide an empty implementation.

Returns:

true if this initializer is alive.
