compiler
Compile Java code in memory using Java 6 compiler API.
Why compiler API?
You can use compiler API to compile generated Java source code and load the compiled classes on-the-fly.
For example, generate proxy classes using compiler API instead of CGLIB or Javassist.
How to use this compiler?
Step 1: add maven dependency:
<dependency>
<groupId>com.itranswarp</groupId>
<artifactId>compiler</artifactId>
<version>1.0</version>
</dependency>
Step 2: compile string and load class:
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JavaStringCompiler compiler = new JavaStringCompiler();
Map<String, byte[]> results = compiler.compile("UserProxy.java", JAVA_SOURCE_CODE);
Class<?> clazz = compiler.loadClass("on.the.fly.UserProxy", results);
// try instance:
User user = (User) clazz.newInstance();
}
static final String JAVA_SOURCE_CODE = "/* a single java source file */ "
+ "package on.the.fly; "
+ "public class UserProxy extends test.User { "
+ " boolean _dirty = false; "
+ " public void setId(String id) { "
+ " super.setId(id); "
+ " setDirty(true); "
+ " } "
+ " public void setName(String name) { "
+ " super.setName(name); "
+ " setDirty(true); "
+ " } "
+ " public void setCreated(long created) { "
+ " super.setCreated(created); "
+ " setDirty(true); "
+ " } "
+ " public void setDirty(boolean dirty) { "
+ " this._dirty = dirty; "
+ " } "
+ " public boolean isDirty() { "
+ " return this._dirty; "
+ " } "
+ "} ";
}
