/**
* A class loader for reflection.
*
* To run a program, say MyApp,
* including a reflective class,
* you must write a start-up program as follows:
*
*
* public class Main {
* public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
* scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader cl
* = (scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader)Main.class.getClassLoader();
* cl.makeReflective("Person", "MyMetaobject",
* "scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.ClassMetaobject");
* cl.run("MyApp", args);
* }
* }
*
*
* Then run this program as follows:
*
*
% java scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader Main arg1, ...
*
* This command runs Main.main() with arg1, ...
* and Main.main() runs MyApp.main() with
* arg1, ...
* The Person class is modified
* to be a reflective class. Method calls on a Person
* object are intercepted by an instance of MyMetaobject.
*
*
Also, you can run MyApp in a slightly different way:
*
*
* public class Main2 {
* public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
* scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader cl = new scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader();
* cl.makeReflective("Person", "MyMetaobject",
* "scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.ClassMetaobject");
* cl.run("MyApp", args);
* }
* }
*
*
* This program is run as follows:
*
*
% java Main2 arg1, ...
*
* The difference from the former one is that the class Main
* is loaded by scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader whereas the class
* Main2 is not. Thus, Main belongs
* to the same name space (security domain) as MyApp
* whereas Main2 does not; Main2 belongs
* to the same name space as scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader.
* For more details,
* see the notes in the manual page of scouter.javassist.Loader.
*
*
The class Main2 is equivalent to this class:
*
*
* public class Main3 {
* public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
* Reflection reflection = new Reflection();
* scouter.javassist.Loader cl
* = new scouter.javassist.Loader(ClassPool.getDefault(reflection));
* reflection.makeReflective("Person", "MyMetaobject",
* "scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.ClassMetaobject");
* cl.run("MyApp", args);
* }
* }
*
*
* Note:
*
*
scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Loader does not make a class reflective
* if that class is in a java.* or
* javax.* pacakge because of the specifications
* on the class loading algorithm of Java. The JVM does not allow to
* load such a system class with a user class loader.
*
*
To avoid this limitation, those classes should be statically
* modified with scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Compiler and the original
* class files should be replaced.
*
* @see scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Reflection
* @see scouter.javassist.tools.reflect.Compiler
