Class ClassFileLocator.AgentBased

java.lang.Object

net.bytebuddy.dynamic.ClassFileLocator.AgentBased

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, AutoCloseable, ClassFileLocator

Enclosing interface:

ClassFileLocator

@Enhance
public static class ClassFileLocator.AgentBased
extends Object
implements ClassFileLocator

A Java agent that allows the location of class files by emulating a retransformation. Note that this class file locator causes a class to be loaded in order to look up its class file. Also, this locator does deliberately not support the look-up of classes that represent lambda expressions.

Method Detail

fromInstalledAgent

public static ClassFileLocator fromInstalledAgent(ClassLoader classLoader)

Returns an agent-based class file locator for the given class loader and an already installed Byte Buddy-agent.

Parameters:

classLoader - The class loader that is expected to load the looked-up a class.

Returns:

A class file locator for the given class loader based on a Byte Buddy agent.

of
