Interface ClassBytecodeProcessorCache

public interface ClassBytecodeProcessorCache

This interface allows class bytecode processors to cache their transformations between runs. A typical usage will look something like this:

   public class MyCBP implements ClassBytecodeProcessor {
     public byte[] process(ClassLoader cl, String classname, byte[] bytecode) {
       ClassBytecodeProcessorCache cache = IntegrationFactory.getInstance().getClassBytecodeProcessorCache();
       String key = cache.computeKey(cl, classname, bytecode, null);
       if (key != null) {
         byte[] cachedBytes = cache.get(key);
         if (cachedBytes != null)
           return cachedBytes;
       }

       // ... do actual processing ...

       if (key != null)
         cache.put(key, processedBytes);
       return processedBytes;
     }
   }
 

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
String	computeKey(String className, byte[] bytecode, ClassBytecodeProcessor processor, String tag)	Computes the cache key for the given arguments.
byte[]	get(String key)	Returns the cached bytes corresponding to the given key.
void	put(String key, byte[] bytes)	Stores given bytes associated with the given key.

Method Detail

computeKey

String computeKey(String className,
                  byte[] bytecode,
                  ClassBytecodeProcessor processor,
                  String tag)

Computes the cache key for the given arguments.

Parameters:

className - the name of the processed class

bytecode - the class bytes that are to be processed

processor - the processor

tag - a custom tag to differentiate distinct processor configurations

Returns:

a cache key, or null if the class loader is not cache capable

get

byte[] get(String key)

Returns the cached bytes corresponding to the given key.

put

void put(String key,
         byte[] bytes)

Stores given bytes associated with the given key.
