[Java] Class GroovyClassLoader

Field Detail

protected final Map<String, Class> classCache

this cache contains the loaded classes or PARSING, if the class is currently parsed

protected final Map<String, Class> sourceCache

This cache contains mappings of file name to class. It is used to bypass compilation.

Constructor Detail

public GroovyClassLoader()

creates a GroovyClassLoader using the current Thread's context Class loader as parent.

public GroovyClassLoader(ClassLoader loader)

creates a GroovyClassLoader using the given ClassLoader as parent

public GroovyClassLoader(GroovyClassLoader parent)

creates a GroovyClassLoader using the given GroovyClassLoader as parent. This loader will get the parent's CompilerConfiguration

public GroovyClassLoader(ClassLoader parent, CompilerConfiguration config, boolean useConfigurationClasspath)

creates a GroovyClassLoader.

Parameters:

parent - the parent class loader

config - the compiler configuration

useConfigurationClasspath - determines if the configurations classpath should be added

public GroovyClassLoader(ClassLoader loader, CompilerConfiguration config)

creates a GroovyClassLoader using the given ClassLoader as parent.

Method Detail

public void addClasspath(String path)

adds a classpath to this classloader.

Parameters:

path - is a jar file or a directory.

See Also:

addURL(URL)

public void addURL(URL url)

adds a URL to the classloader.

Parameters:

url - the new classpath element

public void clearCache()

Removes all classes from the class cache.

getClassCacheEntry(String)

setClassCacheEntry(Class)

removeClassCacheEntry(String)

protected GroovyClassLoader.ClassCollector createCollector(CompilationUnit unit, SourceUnit su)

creates a ClassCollector for a new compilation.

Parameters:

unit - the compilationUnit

su - the SourceUnit

Returns:

the ClassCollector

protected CompilationUnit createCompilationUnit(CompilerConfiguration config, CodeSource source)

creates a new CompilationUnit. If you want to add additional phase operations to the CompilationUnit (for example to inject additional methods, variables, fields), then you should overwrite this method.

Parameters:

config - the compiler configuration, usually the same as for this class loader

source - the source containing the initial file to compile, more files may follow during compilation

Returns:

the CompilationUnit

public Class defineClass(ClassNode classNode, String file, String newCodeBase)

Loads the given class node returning the implementation Class.

WARNING: this compilation is not synchronized

Parameters:

classNode

Returns:

a class

public Class defineClass(String name, byte[] b)

open up the super class define that takes raw bytes

public String generateScriptName()

protected Class getClassCacheEntry(String name)

gets a class from the class cache. This cache contains only classes loaded through this class loader or an InnerLoader instance. If no class is stored for a specific name, then the method should return null.

Parameters:

name - of the class

Returns:

the class stored for the given name

removeClassCacheEntry(String)

setClassCacheEntry(Class)

clearCache()

protected String[] getClassPath()

gets the currently used classpath.

Returns:

a String[] containing the file information of the urls

See Also:

getURLs()

public Class[] getLoadedClasses()

Returns all Groovy classes loaded by this class loader.

Returns:

all classes loaded by this class loader

protected PermissionCollection getPermissions(CodeSource codeSource)

public GroovyResourceLoader getResourceLoader()

protected long getTimeStamp(Class cls)

gets the time stamp of a given class. For groovy generated classes this usually means to return the value of the static field __timeStamp. If the parameter doesn't have such a field, then Long.MAX_VALUE is returned

Parameters:

cls - the class

Returns:

the time stamp

protected boolean isRecompilable(Class cls)

Indicates if a class is recompilable. Recompilable means, that the classloader will try to locate a groovy source file for this class and then compile it again, adding the resulting class as entry to the cache. Giving null as class is like a recompilation, so the method should always return true here. Only classes that are implementing GroovyObject are compilable and only if the timestamp in the class is lower than Long.MAX_VALUE.

NOTE: First the parent loaders will be asked and only if they don't return a class the recompilation will happen. Recompilation also only happen if the source file is newer.

Parameters:

cls - the class to be tested. If null the method should return true

Returns:

true if the class should be compiled again

See Also:

isSourceNewer(URL, Class)

public Boolean isShouldRecompile()

gets the currently set recompilation mode. null means, the compiler configuration is used. False means no recompilation and true means that recompilation will be done if needed.

Returns:

the recompilation mode

protected boolean isSourceNewer(URL source, Class cls)

Decides if the given source is newer than a class.

throws:

IOException if it is not possible to open an connection for the given source

Parameters:

source - the source we may want to compile

cls - the former class

Returns:

true if the source is newer, false else

getTimeStamp(Class)

public Class loadClass(String name, boolean lookupScriptFiles, boolean preferClassOverScript)

loads a class from a file or a parent classloader. This method does call loadClass(String, boolean, boolean, boolean) with the last parameter set to false.

throws:

CompilationFailedException if compilation was not successful

public Class loadClass(String name, boolean lookupScriptFiles, boolean preferClassOverScript, boolean resolve)

loads a class from a file or a parent classloader.

throws:

ClassNotFoundException if the class could not be found

throws:

CompilationFailedException if the source file could not be compiled

Parameters:

name - of the class to be loaded

lookupScriptFiles - if false no lookup at files is done at all

preferClassOverScript - if true the file lookup is only done if there is no class

resolve - see ClassLoader.loadClass

Returns:

the class found or the class created from a file lookup

@Override public Class<?> loadClass(String name)

protected Class loadClass(String name, boolean resolve)

Implemented here to check package access prior to returning an already loaded class.

throws:

CompilationFailedException if the compilation failed

throws:

ClassNotFoundException if the class was not found

See Also:

ClassLoader.loadClass

public Class parseClass(File file)

Parses the given file into a Java class capable of being run

Parameters:

file - the file name to parse

Returns:

the main class defined in the given script

public Class parseClass(String text, String fileName)

Parses the given text into a Java class capable of being run

Parameters:

text - the text of the script/class to parse

fileName - the file name to use as the name of the class

Returns:

the main class defined in the given script

public Class parseClass(String text)

Parses the given text into a Java class capable of being run

Parameters:

text - the text of the script/class to parse

Returns:

the main class defined in the given script

@Deprecated public Class parseClass(InputStream in, String fileName)

deprecated:

Prefer using methods taking a Reader rather than an InputStream to avoid wrong encoding issues.

public Class parseClass(GroovyCodeSource codeSource)

public Class parseClass(GroovyCodeSource codeSource, boolean shouldCacheSource)

Parses the given code source into a Java class. If there is a class file for the given code source, then no parsing is done, instead the cached class is returned.

Parameters:

shouldCacheSource - if true then the generated class will be stored in the source cache

Returns:

the main class defined in the given script

protected Class recompile(URL source, String className, Class oldClass)

(Re)Compiles the given source. This method starts the compilation of a given source, if the source has changed since the class was created. For this isSourceNewer is called.

throws:

CompilationFailedException if the compilation failed

throws:

IOException if the source is not readable

Parameters:

source - the source pointer for the compilation

className - the name of the class to be generated

oldClass - a possible former class

Returns:

the old class if the source wasn't new enough, the new class else

isSourceNewer(URL, Class)

protected void removeClassCacheEntry(String name)

removes a class from the class cache.

Parameters:

name - of the class

clearCache()

protected void setClassCacheEntry(Class cls)

sets an entry in the class cache.

Parameters:

getClassCacheEntry(String)

clearCache()

public void setResourceLoader(GroovyResourceLoader resourceLoader)

public void setShouldRecompile(Boolean mode)

sets if the recompilation should be enable. There are 3 possible values for this. Any value different than null overrides the value from the compiler configuration. true means to recompile if needed false means to never recompile.

Parameters:

mode - the recompilation mode
