Method Detail

materialize

protected abstract AgentBuilder materialize()

Materializes the currently described AgentBuilder.

Returns:

An agent builder that represents the currently described entry of this instance.

with

public AgentBuilder with(ByteBuddy byteBuddy)

Defines the given ByteBuddy instance to be used by the created agent.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

byteBuddy - The Byte Buddy instance to be used.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which makes use of the given byteBuddy instance.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.Listener listener)

Defines the given AgentBuilder.Listener to be notified by the created agent. The given listener is notified after any other listener that is already registered. If a listener is registered twice, it is also notified twice.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

listener - The listener to be notified.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which creates an agent that informs the given listener about events.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.CircularityLock circularityLock)

Defines a circularity lock that is acquired upon executing code that potentially loads new classes. While the lock is acquired, any class file transformer refrains from transforming any classes. By default, all created agents use a shared AgentBuilder.CircularityLock to avoid that any classes that are required to execute an agent causes a ClassCircularityError.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

circularityLock - The circularity lock to use.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which creates an agent that uses the supplied circularity lock.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.TypeStrategy typeStrategy)

Defines how types should be transformed, e.g. if they should be rebased or redefined by the created agent.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

typeStrategy - The type strategy to use.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which uses the given type strategy.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.PoolStrategy poolStrategy)

Defines the use of the given type locator for locating a TypeDescription for an instrumented type.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

poolStrategy - The type locator to use.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which uses the given type locator for looking up class files.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.LocationStrategy locationStrategy)

Defines the use of the given location strategy for locating binary data to given class names.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

locationStrategy - The location strategy to use.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which uses the given location strategy for looking up class files.

with

public AgentBuilder with(ClassFileLocator classFileLocator)

Registers an additional class file locator for types that are globally available but cannot be located otherwise. Typically, those types are injected classes into the boot loader.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

classFileLocator - The class file locator to add.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which uses the given class file locator for global type lookup.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.InitializationStrategy initializationStrategy)

Defines a given initialization strategy to be applied to generated types. An initialization strategy is responsible for setting up a type after it was loaded. This initialization must be performed after the transformation because a Java agent is only invoked before loading a type. By default, the initialization logic is added to a class's type initializer which queries a global object for any objects that are to be injected into the generated type.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

initializationStrategy - The initialization strategy to use.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder that applies the given initialization strategy.

with

public AgentBuilder.RedefinitionListenable.WithoutBatchStrategy with(AgentBuilder.RedefinitionStrategy redefinitionStrategy)

Specifies a strategy for modifying types that were already loaded prior to the installation of this transformer.

Note: Defining a redefinition strategy resets any refinements of a previously set redefinition strategy.

Important: Most JVMs do not support changes of a class's structure after a class was already loaded. Therefore, it is typically required that this class file transformer was built while enabling AgentBuilder.disableClassFormatChanges().

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

redefinitionStrategy - The redefinition strategy to apply.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder that applies the given redefinition strategy.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.LambdaInstrumentationStrategy lambdaInstrumentationStrategy)

Enables or disables management of the JVM's LambdaMetafactory which is responsible for creating classes that implement lambda expressions. Without this feature enabled, classes that are represented by lambda expressions are not instrumented by the JVM such that Java agents have no effect on them when a lambda expression's class is loaded for the first time.

When activating this feature, Byte Buddy instruments the LambdaMetafactory and takes over the responsibility of creating classes that represent lambda expressions. In doing so, Byte Buddy has the opportunity to apply the built class file transformer. If the current VM does not support lambda expressions, activating this feature has no effect.

Important: If this feature is active, it is important to release the built class file transformer when deactivating it. Normally, it is sufficient to call Instrumentation.removeTransformer(ClassFileTransformer). When this feature is enabled, it is however also required to invoke AgentBuilder.LambdaInstrumentationStrategy.release(ClassFileTransformer, Instrumentation). Otherwise, the executing VMs class loader retains a reference to the class file transformer what can cause a memory leak.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

lambdaInstrumentationStrategy - true if this feature should be enabled.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder where this feature is explicitly enabled or disabled.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.DescriptionStrategy descriptionStrategy)

Specifies a strategy to be used for resolving TypeDescription for any type handled by the created transformer.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

descriptionStrategy - The description strategy to use.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder that applies the given description strategy.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.FallbackStrategy fallbackStrategy)

Specifies a fallback strategy to that this agent builder applies upon installing an agent and during class file transformation.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

fallbackStrategy - The fallback strategy to be used.

Returns:

A new agent builder that applies the supplied fallback strategy.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.ClassFileBufferStrategy classFileBufferStrategy)

Specifies a class file buffer strategy that determines the use of the buffer supplied to a class file transformer.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

classFileBufferStrategy - The class file buffer strategy to use.

Returns:

A new agent builder that applies the supplied class file buffer strategy.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.InstallationListener installationListener)

Adds an installation listener that is notified during installation events. Installation listeners are only invoked if a class file transformer is installed using this agent builder's installation methods and uninstalled via the created ResettableClassFileTransformer's reset methods.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

installationListener - The installation listener to register.

Returns:

A new agent builder that applies the supplied installation listener.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.InjectionStrategy injectionStrategy)

Defines a strategy for injecting auxiliary types into the target class loader.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

injectionStrategy - The injection strategy to use.

Returns:

A new agent builder with the supplied injection strategy configured.

with

public AgentBuilder with(AgentBuilder.TransformerDecorator transformerDecorator)

Adds a decorator for the created class file transformer.

Specified by:

with in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

transformerDecorator - A decorator to wrap the created class file transformer.

Returns:

A new agent builder that applies the supplied transformer decorator.

enableNativeMethodPrefix

public AgentBuilder enableNativeMethodPrefix(String prefix)

Enables the use of the given native method prefix for instrumented methods. Note that this prefix is also applied when preserving non-native methods. The use of this prefix is also registered when installing the final agent with an Instrumentation.

Specified by:

enableNativeMethodPrefix in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix to be used.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which uses the given native method prefix.

disableNativeMethodPrefix

public AgentBuilder disableNativeMethodPrefix()

Disables the use of a native method prefix for instrumented methods.

Specified by:

disableNativeMethodPrefix in interface AgentBuilder

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder which does not use a native method prefix.

disableClassFormatChanges

public AgentBuilder disableClassFormatChanges()

Disables all implicit changes on a class file that Byte Buddy would apply for certain instrumentations. When using this option, it is no longer possible to rebase a method, i.e. intercepted methods are fully replaced. Furthermore, it is no longer possible to implicitly apply loaded type initializers for explicitly initializing the generated type.

This is equivalent to setting AgentBuilder.InitializationStrategy.NoOp and AgentBuilder.TypeStrategy.Default.REDEFINE_FROZEN (unless it is configured as AgentBuilder.TypeStrategy.Default.DECORATE where this strategy is retained) as well as configuring the underlying ByteBuddy instance to use a Implementation.Context.Disabled. Using this strategy also configures Byte Buddy to create frozen instrumented types and discards any explicit configuration.

Specified by:

disableClassFormatChanges in interface AgentBuilder

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder that does not apply any implicit changes to the received class file.

warmUp

public AgentBuilder warmUp(Class<?>... type)

Warms up the generated ClassFileTransformer to trigger class loading of classes used by the transformer prior to its actual use. Ideally, warmup should include classes that cause a transformation and classes that are ignored. Warming up can be especially useful when transforming classes on the boot path, where circularity errors are more likely. At the same time, warming up might load classes that are expected to be unloaded when this agent is installed.

Important: Warming up is applied just as a regular transformation and will also invoke the AgentBuilder.Listener. This is done to avoid that listener classes can cause circularities. It is the users responsibility to suppress such log output, if necessary.

Specified by:

warmUp in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

type - The types to include in the warmup.

Returns:

A new agent builder that considers the supplied classes in its warmup.

warmUp

public AgentBuilder warmUp(Collection<Class<?>> types)

Ideally, warmup should include classes that cause a transformation and classes that are ignored. Warming up can be especially useful when transforming classes on the boot path, where circularity errors are more likely. At the same time, warming up might load classes that are expected to be unloaded when this agent is installed.

Important: Warming up is applied just as a regular transformation and will also invoke the AgentBuilder.Listener. This is done to avoid that listener classes can cause circularities. It is the users responsibility to suppress such log output, if necessary.

Specified by:

type

public AgentBuilder.Identified.Narrowable type(ElementMatcher<? super TypeDescription> typeMatcher)

Matches a type being loaded in order to apply the supplied AgentBuilder.Transformers before loading this type. If several matchers positively match a type only the latest registered matcher is considered for transformation.

If this matcher is chained with additional subsequent matchers, any matcher is executed in registration order with matchers that were registered first being executed first. Doing so, later transformations can override transformations that are applied by this matcher. To avoid this, it is possible to register this transformation as terminal via AgentBuilder.Identified.Extendable.asTerminalTransformation() where no subsequent matchers are applied if this matcher matched a given type.

Note: When applying a matcher, regard the performance implications by AgentBuilder.ignore(ElementMatcher). The former matcher is applied first such that it makes sense to ignore name spaces that are irrelevant to instrumentation. If possible, it is also recommended, to exclude class loaders such as for example the bootstrap class loader by using AgentBuilder.type(ElementMatcher, ElementMatcher) instead.

Specified by:

type in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

typeMatcher - An ElementMatcher that is applied on the type being loaded that decides if the entailed AgentBuilder.Transformers should be applied for that type.

Returns:

A definable that represents this agent builder which allows for the definition of one or several AgentBuilder.Transformers to be applied when the given typeMatcher indicates a match.

                                               ElementMatcher<? super ClassLoader> classLoaderMatcher)

Matches a type being loaded in order to apply the supplied AgentBuilder.Transformers before loading this type. If several matchers positively match a type only the latest registered matcher is considered for transformation.

If this matcher is chained with additional subsequent matchers, any matcher is executed in registration order with matchers that were registered first being executed first. Doing so, later transformations can override transformations that are applied by this matcher. To avoid this, it is possible to register this transformation as terminal via AgentBuilder.Identified.Extendable.asTerminalTransformation() where no subsequent matchers are applied if this matcher matched a given type.

Parameters:

typeMatcher - An ElementMatcher that is applied on the type being loaded that decides if the entailed AgentBuilder.Transformers should be applied for that type.

classLoaderMatcher - An ElementMatcher that is applied to the ClassLoader that is loading the type being loaded. This matcher is always applied first where the type matcher is not applied in case that this matcher does not indicate a match.

Returns:

A definable that represents this agent builder which allows for the definition of one or several AgentBuilder.Transformers to be applied when both the given typeMatcher and classLoaderMatcher indicate a match.

type

public AgentBuilder.Identified.Narrowable type(ElementMatcher<? super TypeDescription> typeMatcher,

If possible, it is also recommended, to exclude class loaders such as for example the bootstrap class loader.

Specified by:

type in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

typeMatcher - An ElementMatcher that is applied on the type being loaded that decides if the entailed AgentBuilder.Transformers should be applied for that type.

classLoaderMatcher - An ElementMatcher that is applied to the ClassLoader that is loading the type being loaded. This matcher is always applied second where the type matcher is not applied in case that this matcher does not indicate a match.

moduleMatcher - An ElementMatcher that is applied to the JavaModule of the type being loaded. This matcher is always applied first where the class loader and type matchers are not applied in case that this matcher does not indicate a match. On a JVM that does not support the Java modules system, this matcher is not applied.

Returns:

A definable that represents this agent builder which allows for the definition of one or several AgentBuilder.Transformers to be applied when both the given typeMatcher and classLoaderMatcher indicate a match.

type

public AgentBuilder.Identified.Narrowable type(AgentBuilder.RawMatcher matcher)

Matches a type being loaded in order to apply the supplied AgentBuilder.Transformers before loading this type. If several matchers positively match a type only the latest registered matcher is considered for transformation.

If this matcher is chained with additional subsequent matchers, any matcher is executed in registration order with matchers that were registered first being executed first. Doing so, later transformations can override transformations that are applied by this matcher. To avoid this, it is possible to register this transformation as terminal via AgentBuilder.Identified.Extendable.asTerminalTransformation() where no subsequent matchers are applied if this matcher matched a given type.

The former matcher is applied first such that it makes sense to ignore name spaces that are irrelevant to instrumentation. If possible, it is also recommended, to exclude class loaders such as for example the bootstrap class loader.

Specified by:

type in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

matcher - A matcher that decides if the entailed AgentBuilder.Transformers should be applied for a type that is being loaded.

Returns:

A definable that represents this agent builder which allows for the definition of one or several AgentBuilder.Transformers to be applied when the given matcher indicates a match.

ignore

public AgentBuilder.Ignored ignore(ElementMatcher<? super TypeDescription> ignoredTypes)

Excludes any type that is matched by the provided matcher from instrumentation and considers types by all ClassLoaders. By default, Byte Buddy does not instrument synthetic types or types that are loaded by the bootstrap class loader.

When ignoring a type, any subsequently chained matcher is applied after this matcher in the order of their registration. Also, if any matcher indicates that a type is to be ignored, none of the following chained matchers is executed.

Note: For performance reasons, it is recommended to always include a matcher that excludes as many namespaces as possible. Byte Buddy can determine a type's name without parsing its class file and can therefore discard such types with minimal overhead. When a different property of a type - such as for example its modifiers or its annotations is accessed - Byte Buddy parses the class file lazily in order to allow for such a matching. Therefore, any exclusion of a name should always be done as a first step and even if it does not influence the selection of what types are matched. Without changing this property, the class file of every type is being parsed!

Warning: If a type is loaded during the instrumentation of the same type, this causes the original call site that loads the type to remain unbound, causing a LinkageError. It is therefore important to not instrument types that may be loaded during the application of a AgentBuilder.Transformer. For this reason, it is not recommended to instrument classes of the bootstrap class loader that Byte Buddy might require for instrumenting a class or to instrument any of Byte Buddy's classes. If such instrumentation is desired, it is important to assert for each class that they are not loaded during instrumentation.

Specified by:

ignore in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

ignoredTypes - A matcher that identifies types that should not be instrumented.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder that ignores all types that are matched by the provided matcher. All previous matchers for ignored types are discarded.

ignore

public AgentBuilder.Ignored ignore(ElementMatcher<? super TypeDescription> ignoredTypes,
                                   ElementMatcher<? super ClassLoader> ignoredClassLoaders)

Excludes any type that is matched by the provided matcher and is loaded by a class loader matching the second matcher. By default, Byte Buddy does not instrument synthetic types, types within a net.bytebuddy.* package or types that are loaded by the bootstrap class loader.

When ignoring a type, any subsequently chained matcher is applied after this matcher in the order of their registration. Also, if any matcher indicates that a type is to be ignored, none of the following chained matchers is executed.

Note: For performance reasons, it is recommended to always include a matcher that excludes as many namespaces as possible. Byte Buddy can determine a type's name without parsing its class file and can therefore discard such types with minimal overhead. When a different property of a type - such as for example its modifiers or its annotations is accessed - Byte Buddy parses the class file lazily in order to allow for such a matching. Therefore, any exclusion of a name should always be done as a first step and even if it does not influence the selection of what types are matched. Without changing this property, the class file of every type is being parsed!

Warning: If a type is loaded during the instrumentation of the same type, this causes the original call site that loads the type to remain unbound, causing a LinkageError. It is therefore important to not instrument types that may be loaded during the application of a AgentBuilder.Transformer. For this reason, it is not recommended to instrument classes of the bootstrap class loader that Byte Buddy might require for instrumenting a class or to instrument any of Byte Buddy's classes. If such instrumentation is desired, it is important to assert for each class that they are not loaded during instrumentation.

Specified by:

ignore in interface AgentBuilder

Parameters:

ignoredTypes - A matcher that identifies types that should not be instrumented.

ignoredClassLoaders - A matcher that identifies a class loader that identifies classes that should not be instrumented.

Returns:

A new instance of this agent builder that ignores all types that are matched by the provided matcher. All previous matchers for ignored types are discarded.

A new instance of this agent builder that ignores all types that are matched by the provided matcher. All previous matchers for ignored types are discarded.

ignore

public AgentBuilder.Ignored ignore(AgentBuilder.RawMatcher rawMatcher)

Excludes any type that is matched by the raw matcher provided to this method. By default, Byte Buddy does not instrument synthetic types, types within a net.bytebuddy.* package or types that are loaded by the bootstrap class loader.
