Method Details

getName

public String getName()
               throws CorruptDataException

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Get the name of the class.

Returns:

the name of the class in the form: "full/package/class$innerclass"

Throws:

CorruptDataException

getSuperclass

public JavaClass getSuperclass()
                        throws CorruptDataException

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Get the immediate superclass of this class.

Returns:

the immediate superclass of this class, or null if this class has no superclass. For interfaces, Object, primitive types and void null is always returned.

Throws:

CorruptDataException

isArray

public boolean isArray()
                throws CorruptDataException

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Is this an array class ?

Returns:

true if this class is an array class

Throws:

CorruptDataException

getComponentType

public JavaClass getComponentType()
                           throws CorruptDataException

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

For array classes, returns a JavaClass representing the component type of this array class.

Returns:

a JavaClass representing the component type of this array class

Throws:

CorruptDataException

getDeclaredFields

public Iterator getDeclaredFields()

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Get the set of fields declared in this class.

Returns:

an iterator over the collection of fields declared in this class.

See Also:

• JavaField
• CorruptData

getDeclaredMethods

public Iterator getDeclaredMethods()

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Get the set of methods declared in this class.

Returns:

an iterator over the collection of methods declared in this class.

See Also:

• JavaMethod
• CorruptData

getConstantPoolReferences

public Iterator getConstantPoolReferences()

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Java classes may refer to other classes and to String objects via the class's constant pool. These references are followed by the garbage collector, forming edges on the graph of reachable objects. This getConstantPoolReferences() may be used to determine which objects are referred to by the receiver's constant pool.

Although Java VMs typically permit only Class and String objects in the constant pool, some esoteric or future virtual machines may permit other types of objects to occur in the constant pool. This API imposes no restrictions on the types of JavaObjects which might be included in the Iterator.

No assumption should be made about the order in which constant pool references are returned.

Classes may also refer to objects through static variables. These may be found with the getDeclaredFields() API. Objects referenced by static variables are not returned by getConstantPoolReferences() unless the object is also referenced by the constant pool.

Returns:

an iterator over the collection of JavaObjects which are referred to by the constant pool of this class

See Also:

• JavaObject
• CorruptData

addConstantPoolClassRef

public void addConstantPoolClassRef(long id)

The constant pool consists of class IDs and object instances. This is how the class IDs are added

Parameters:

id -

getInstanceSize

public int getInstanceSize(JavaObject instance)

Specified by:

getInstanceSize in class JavaAbstractClass

Parameters:

instance - The instance is needed for array types to calculate the size of a per-instance basis

Returns:

The size, in bytes, of an instance of this class (required for iterating the heap)

getFilename

public String getFilename()
                   throws DataUnavailable,
CorruptDataException

Throws:

DataUnavailable

CorruptDataException

createNewField

public void createNewField(String name,
 String sig,
 int modifiers,
 int offset,
 long classID)

createNewMethod

public JavaMethod createNewMethod(long id,
 String name,
 String signature,
 int modifiers)

createConstantPoolObjectRef

public void createConstantPoolObjectRef(long id)

createNewStaticField

public void createNewStaticField(String name,
 String sig,
 int modifiers,
 String value)

getReferences

public Iterator getReferences()

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Get the set of references from this class.

Returns:

an iterator of JavaReferences

See Also:

• JavaReference
• CorruptData

isAncestorOf

public boolean isAncestorOf(JavaClass theClass)

getInstanceSize

public long getInstanceSize()
                     throws CorruptDataException

Description copied from interface: JavaClass

Returns the size in bytes of an instance of this class on the heap.

The call is only meaningful for a non-array JavaClass, where all instances of the class are of the same size. If this method is called on a JavaArrayClass, where instances can be of different sizes, an UnsupportedOperationException will be thrown. DataUnavailable can be thrown if no value is available: for example when DTFJ is examining a javacore, where the instance size for a class is not recorded.

Returns:

size in bytes of an instance

Throws:

CorruptDataException
