Interface ByteCodeEnhancer

All Known Implementing Classes:

ByteCodeEnhancerTimer, FilterEnhancer

public interface ByteCodeEnhancer

A JDO enhancer, or byte-code enhancer, modifies the byte-codes of Java class files to enable transparent loading and storing of the fields of the persistent instances.

Method Summary

Methods

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
boolean	enhanceClassFile(InputStream inByteCode, OutputStream outByteCode) Enhances a given class according to the JDO meta-data.
boolean	enhanceClassFile(InputStream in, OutputStreamWrapper out) Enhances a given class according to the JDO meta-data.

Method Detail

enhanceClassFile

boolean enhanceClassFile(InputStream inByteCode,
                       OutputStream outByteCode)
                         throws EnhancerUserException,
                                EnhancerFatalError

Enhances a given class according to the JDO meta-data. If the input class has been enhanced or not - the output stream is always written, either with the enhanced class or with the non-enhanced class.

Parameters:

inByteCode - The byte-code of the class to be enhanced.

outByteCode - The byte-code of the enhanced class.

Returns:

true if the class has been enhanced, false otherwise.

Throws:

EnhancerUserException

EnhancerFatalError

enhanceClassFile

boolean enhanceClassFile(InputStream in,
                       OutputStreamWrapper out)
                         throws EnhancerUserException,
                                EnhancerFatalError

Enhances a given class according to the JDO meta-data. If the input class has been enhanced or not - the output stream is always written, either with the enhanced class or with the non-enhanced class.
Furthermore the enhancer has to set the classname of the enhanced class to the output stream wrapper object (it's possible to get the input stream without knowing the classname).

Parameters:

in - The byte-code of the class to be enhanced.

out - The byte-code of the enhanced class.

Returns:

true if the class has been enhanced, false otherwise.

Throws:

EnhancerUserException

EnhancerFatalError
