Class JBossLoadTimeWeaver

java.lang.Object

org.springframework.instrument.classloading.jboss.JBossLoadTimeWeaver

All Implemented Interfaces:

LoadTimeWeaver

public class JBossLoadTimeWeaver
extends Object
implements LoadTimeWeaver

LoadTimeWeaver implementation for JBoss's instrumentable ClassLoader. Autodetects the specific JBoss version at runtime: currently supports JBoss AS 6 and 7, as well as WildFly 8 (as of Spring 4.0).

NOTE: On JBoss 6, to avoid the container loading the classes before the application actually starts, one needs to add a WEB-INF/jboss-scanning.xml file to the application archive - with the following content:

<scanning xmlns="urn:jboss:scanning:1.0"/>

Thanks to Ales Justin and Marius Bogoevici for the initial prototype.

Since:

3.0

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addTransformer(ClassFileTransformer transformer) Add a ClassFileTransformer to be applied by this LoadTimeWeaver.
ClassLoader	getInstrumentableClassLoader() Return a ClassLoader that supports instrumentation through AspectJ-style load-time weaving based on user-defined ClassFileTransformers.
ClassLoader	getThrowawayClassLoader() Return a throwaway ClassLoader, enabling classes to be loaded and inspected without affecting the parent ClassLoader.

getInstrumentableClassLoader

public ClassLoader getInstrumentableClassLoader()

Description copied from interface: LoadTimeWeaver

Return a ClassLoader that supports instrumentation through AspectJ-style load-time weaving based on user-defined ClassFileTransformers.

May be the current ClassLoader, or a ClassLoader created by this LoadTimeWeaver instance.

getInstrumentableClassLoader in interface LoadTimeWeaver

Returns:

the ClassLoader which will expose instrumented classes according to the registered transformers

getThrowawayClassLoader

public ClassLoader getThrowawayClassLoader()

Description copied from interface: LoadTimeWeaver

Return a throwaway ClassLoader, enabling classes to be loaded and inspected without affecting the parent ClassLoader.

Should not return the same instance of the ClassLoader returned from an invocation of LoadTimeWeaver.getInstrumentableClassLoader().
