It is a class library for editing bytecodes in Java; 16it enables Java programs to define a new class at runtime and to 17modify a class file when the JVM loads it. Unlike other similar 18bytecode editors, Javassist provides two levels of API: source level 19and bytecode level. If the users use the source-level API, they can 20edit a class file without knowledge of the specifications of the Java 21bytecode. The whole API is designed with only the vocabulary of the 22Java language. You can even specify inserted bytecode in the form of 23source text; Javassist compiles it on the fly. On the other hand, the 24bytecode-level API allows the users to directly edit a class file as 25other editors. 26 27<p><br> 28 29<h2>Files</h2> 30 31<ul> 32<table> 33<tr> 34<td><li><tt><a href="License.html">License.html</a></tt></td> 35<td>License file 36(Also see the <a href="#copyright">copyright notices</a> below)</td> 37</tr> 38 39<tr> 40<td><li><tt><a href="tutorial/tutorial.html">tutorial/tutorial.html</a></tt></td> 41<td>Tutorial</td> 42</tr> 43 44<tr> 45<td><li><tt>/javassist.jar</tt></td> 46<td>The Javassist jar file (class files)</td> 47</tr> 48 49<tr> 50<td><li><tt>/src/main</tt></td> 51<td>The source files</td> 52</tr> 53 54<tr> 55<td><li><tt><a href="html/index.html">html/index.html</a></tt></td> 56<td>The top page of the Javassist API document.</td> 57</tr> 58 59<tr> 60<td><li><tt>/sample/</tt></td> 61<td>Sample programs</td> 62</tr> 63</table> 64</ul> 65 66<p><br> 67 68<h2>How to run sample programs</h2> 69 70<p>JDK 1.4 or later is needed. 71 72<h3>0.

Move to the directory where this Readme.html file is located.</h3> 78 79<p>In the following instructions, we assume that the javassist.jar 80file is included in the class path. 81For example, the javac and java commands must receive 82the following <code>classpath</code> option: 83 84<ul><pre> 85-classpath ".:javassist.jar" 86</pre></ul> 87 88<p>If the operating system is Windows, the path 89separator must be not <code>:</code> (colon) but 90<code>;</code> (semicolon). The java command can receive 91the <code>-cp</code> option 92as well as <code>-classpath</code>. 93 94<p>If you don't want to use the class-path option, you can make 95<code>javassist.jar</code> included in the <code>CLASSPATH</code> 96environment: 97 98<ul><pre> 99export CLASSPATH=.:javassist.jar 100</pre></ul> 101 102<p>or if the operating system is Windows: 103 104<ul><pre> 105set CLASSPATH=.;javassist.jar 106</pre></ul> 107 108 109<p>Otherwise, you can copy <tt>javassist.jar</tt> to the directory 110 111<ul><<i>java-home</i>><tt>/jre/lib/ext</tt>.</ul> 112 113<p><<i>java-home</i>> depends on the system.

They return the caller-side method surrounding the 556 expression. 557 <li>javassist.expr.{MethodCall,NewExpr,FieldAccess,Instanceof,Cast}.mayThrow() 558 have been added. 559 <li>$class has been introduced. 560 <li>The parameters to replaceFieldRead(), replaceFieldWrite(), 561 and redirectFieldAccess() in javassist.CodeConverter are changed. 562 <li>The compiler could not correctly handle a try-catch statement. 563 This bug has been fixed. 564</ul> 565 566<p>- version 2.3 in December, 2002. 567<ul> 568 <li>The tutorial has been revised a bit. 569 <li>SerialVersionUID class was donated by Bob Lee. Thanks. 570 <li>CtMethod.setBody() and CtConstructor.setBody() have been added. 571 <li>javassist.reflect.ClassMetaobject.useContextClassLoader has been added. 572 If true, the reflection package does not use Class.forName() but uses 573 a context class loader specified by the user. 574 <li>$sig and $type are now available. 575 <li>Bugs in Bytecode.write() and read() have been fixed. 576</ul> 577 578<p>- version 2.2 in October, 2002. 579<ul> 580 <li>The tutorial has been revised. 581 <li>A new package <code>javassist.expr</code> has been added. 582 This is replacement of classic <code>CodeConverter</code>. 583 <li>javassist.ConstParameter was changed into 584 javassist.CtMethod.ConstParameter. 585 <li>javassist.FieldInitializer was renamed into 586 javassist.CtField.Initializer. 587 <li>A bug in javassist.bytecode.Bytecode.addInvokeinterface() has been 588 fixed. 589 <li>In javassist.bytecode.Bytecode, addGetfield(), addGetstatic(), 590 addInvokespecial(), addInvokestatic(), addInvokevirtual(), 591 and addInvokeinterface() 592 have been modified to update the current statck depth. 593</ul> 594 595<p>- version 2.1 in July, 2002. 596<ul> 597 <li>javassist.CtMember and javassist.CtBehavior have been added. 598 <li>javassist.CtClass.toBytecode() has been added. 599 <li>javassist.CtClass.toClass() and javassist.ClassPool.writeAsClass() 600 has been added. 601 <li>javassist.ByteArrayClassPath has been added. 602 <li>javassist.bytecode.Mnemonic has been added. 603 <li>Several bugs have been fixed. 604</ul> 605 606<p>- version 2.0 (major update) in November, 2001. 607<ul> 608 <li>The javassist.bytecode package has been provided. It is a 609 lower-level API for directly modifying a class file although 610 the users must have detailed knowledge of the Java bytecode. 611 612 <li>The mechanism for creating CtClass objects have been changed. 613 614 <li>javassist.tool.Dump moves to the javassist package. 615</ul> 616 617<p>version 1.0 in July, 2001. 618<ul> 619 <li>javassist.reflect.Metaobject and ClassMetaobject was changed. 620 Now they throw the same exception that they receive from a 621 base-level object. 622</ul> 623 624<p>- version 0.8 625<ul> 626 <li>javassist.tool.Dump was added. It is a class file viewer. 627 628 <li>javassist.FiledInitializer.byNewArray() was added. It is for 629 initializing a field with an array object. 630 631 <li>javassist.CodeConverter.redirectMethodCall() was added. 632 633 <li>javassist.Run was added. 634</ul> 635 636<p>- version 0.7 637<ul> 638 <li>javassit.Loader was largely modified. javassist.UserLoader was 639 deleted. Instead, Codebase was renamed to ClassPath 640 and UserClassPath was added. Now programmers who want to 641 customize Loader must write a class implementing UserClassPath 642 instead of UserLoader. This change is for sharing class search paths 643 between Loader and CtClass.CtClass(String). 644 645 <li>CtClass.addField(), addMethod(), addConstructor(), addWrapper() were 646 also largely modified so that it receives CtNewMethod, CtNewConstructor, 647 or CtNewField. The static methods for creating these objects were 648 added to the API. 649 650 <li>Constructors are now represented by CtConstructor objects. 651 CtConstructor is a subclass of CtMethod. 652 653 <li>CtClass.getUserAttribute() was removed. Use CtClass.getAttribute(). 654 655 <li>javassist.rmi.RmiLoader was added. 656 657 <li>javassist.reflect.Metalevel._setMetaobject() was added. Now 658 metaobjects can be replaced at runtime. 659</ul> 660 661<p>- version 0.6 662<ul> 663 <li>Javassist was modified to correctly deal with array types appearing 664 in signatures. 665 666 <li>A bug crashed resulting bytecode if a class includes a private static 667 filed. It has been fixed. 668 669 <li>javassist.CtNewInterface was added. 670 671 <li>javassist.Loader.recordClass() was renamed into makeClass(). 672 673 <li>javassist.UserLoader.loadClass() was changed to take the second 674 parameter. 675</ul> 676 677<p>- version 0.5 678<ul> 679 <li>a bug-fix version. 680</ul> 681 682<p>- version 0.4 683<ul> 684 <li>Major update again. Many classes and methods were changed. 685 Most of methods taking java.lang.Class have been changed to 686 take javassist.CtClass. 687</ul> 688 689<p>- version 0.3 690<ul> 691 <li>Major update. Many classes and methods were changed. 692</ul> 693 694<p>- version 0.2 695<ul> 696 <li>Jar/zip files are supported. 697</ul> 698 699<p>-version 0.1 on April 16, 1999. 700<ul> 701 <li>The first release. 702</ul> 703 704<p><br> 705 706<h2>Bug reports etc.</h2> 707 708<dl> 709<dt>Bug reports: 710<dd>Post your reports at <a href="http://www.jboss.org/jive.jsp">Forums</a> 711or directly send an email to: 712<br> 713<tt><a href="mailto:chiba@acm.org">chiba@acm.org</a></tt> 714or 715<tt><a href="mailto:chiba@is.titech.ac.jp">chiba@is.titech.ac.jp</a></tt> 716<br> 717 718<p><dt>The home page of Javassist: 719<dd>Visit <a href="http://www.javassist.org"><tt>www.javassist.org</tt></a> 720and <a href="http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=html&op=userdisplay&id=developers/projects/javassist"><tt>www.jboss.org</tt></a> 721 722</dl> 723 724<p><br> 725 726<a name="copyright"> 727<h2>Copyright notices</h2> 728 729<p>Javassist, a Java-bytecode translator toolkit. 730<br>Copyright (C) 1999-2010 Shigeru Chiba.
