Translator
public class Reflection extends Object implements Translator
The class implementing the behavioral reflection mechanism.If a class is reflective, then all the method invocations on every instance of that class are intercepted by the runtime metaobject controlling that instance. The methods inherited from the super classes are also intercepted except final methods. To intercept a final method in a super class, that super class must be also reflective.
To do this, the original class file representing a reflective class:
class Person { public int f(int i) { return i + 1; } public int value; }is modified so that it represents a class:
class Person implements Metalevel { public int _original_f(int i) { return i + 1; } public int f(int i) { delegate to the metaobject } public int value; public int _r_value() { read "value" } public void _w_value(int v) { write "value" } public ClassMetaobject _getClass() { return a class metaobject } public Metaobject _getMetaobject() { return a metaobject } public void _setMetaobject(Metaobject m) { change a metaobject } }- See Also:

Method Detail
-
start
public void start(ClassPool pool) throws NotFoundException
Initializes the object.- Specified by:
startin interfaceTranslator- Parameters:
pool- theClassPoolthat this translator should use.- Throws:
NotFoundException- if aCtClasscannot be found.- See Also:
Loader
-
onLoad
public void onLoad(ClassPool pool, String classname) throws CannotCompileException, NotFoundException
Inserts hooks for intercepting accesses to the fields declared in reflective classes.- Specified by:
onLoadin interfaceTranslator- Parameters:
pool- theClassPoolthat this translator should use.classname- the name of the class being loaded.- Throws:
CannotCompileException- if the code transformation by this method fails.NotFoundException- if aCtClasscannot be found.- See Also:
Loader
-
makeReflective
public boolean makeReflective(String classname, String metaobject, String metaclass) throws CannotCompileException, NotFoundException
Produces a reflective class. If the super class is also made reflective, it must be done before the sub class.- Parameters:
classname- the name of the reflective classmetaobject- the class name of metaobjects.metaclass- the class name of the class metaobject.- Returns:
falseif the class is already reflective.- Throws:
CannotCompileExceptionNotFoundException- See Also:
Metaobject,ClassMetaobject
-
makeReflective
public boolean makeReflective(Class<?> clazz, Class<?> metaobject, Class<?> metaclass) throws CannotCompileException, NotFoundException
Produces a reflective class. If the super class is also made reflective, it must be done before the sub class.- Parameters:
clazz- the reflective class.metaobject- the class of metaobjects. It must be a subclass ofMetaobject.metaclass- the class of the class metaobject. It must be a subclass ofClassMetaobject.- Returns:
falseif the class is already reflective.- Throws:
CannotCompileExceptionNotFoundException- See Also:
Metaobject,ClassMetaobject

makeReflective
public boolean makeReflective(CtClass clazz, CtClass metaobject, CtClass metaclass) throws CannotCompileException, CannotReflectException, NotFoundException
Produces a reflective class. It modifies the givenCtClassobject and makes it reflective. If the super class is also made reflective, it must be done before the sub class.- Parameters:
clazz- the reflective class.metaobject- the class of metaobjects. It must be a subclass ofMetaobject.metaclass- the class of the class metaobject. It must be a subclass ofClassMetaobject.- Returns:
falseif the class is already reflective.- Throws:
CannotCompileExceptionCannotReflectExceptionNotFoundException- See Also:
