We Keep Coding

Why doesn't ASM call my ``visitCode``?

I'll add my code to the end of this post.
I'm using byteBuddy 1.7.9 and whatever ASM version comes with that.
In a nutshell
I have
byte[] rawClass = ...;
ClassReader cr = new ClassReader(rawClass);
ClassWriter cw = new ClassWriter(ClassWriter.COMPUTE_FRAMES);
MethodAdder ma = new MethodAdder(Opcodes.ASM5,cw);
cr.accept(ma,ClassReader.EXPAND_FRAMES);
Where in MethodAdder, I want to add a static initialiser:
#Override
public MethodVisitor visitMethod(int access, String name, String desc, String signature, String[] exceptions) {
MethodVisitor mv = cv.visitMethod(access, name, desc, signature, exceptions);
if(mv != null){
if(!name.equals(CLINIT_NAME)) return mv;
else{
hasStaticInitialiser = true;
return new ClinitReplacer(api,mv,classname);
}
}else return null;
}
hasStaticInitialiser = true is reached, but ClinitReplacer.visitCode is never executed.
Why?
the whole story
Let's say I want to generate class B from this example using byteBuddy.
Why bytebuddy? Well, for one it's supposedly convenient, and for another, I need its class reloading functionality.
But as you can see in the tutorial, there are some inconveniences with using "pure" byte buddy code. Most importantly,
if you really need to create byte code with jump instructions, make sure to add the correct stack map frames using ASM since Byte Buddy will not automatically include them for you.
I don't want to do that.
And even if I wanted to, I tried
builder = builder
.defineMethod("<clinit>",void.class, Modifier.STATIC)
.withParameters(new LinkedList<>())
.withoutCode()
;
and all it got me was an
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalStateException: Illegal explicit declaration of a type initializer by class B
at net.bytebuddy.dynamic.scaffold.InstrumentedType$Default.validated(InstrumentedType.java:901)
at net.bytebuddy.dynamic.scaffold.MethodRegistry$Default.prepare(MethodRegistry.java:465)

at net.bytebuddy.dynamic.DynamicType$Builder$AbstractBase$Delegator.make(DynamicType.java:2741)
at Main.main(Main.java)
So what I do instead is, I stop after I've added all my fields, get the bytecode for that and load the class.
Then I have ASM add the methods for me. ( In the actual application, I also need to run the bytecode through some other ASM visitors anyway.)
And then reload the re-instrumented bytecode using ByteBuddy.
The reloading fails with
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassFormatError

at net.bytebuddy.dynamic.loading.ClassReloadingStrategy.load(ClassReloadingStrategy.java:171)
at Main.main(Main.java)
And the reason for that seems to be that B looks like this when disassembled:
super public class B
extends A
version 51:0
{
public static final Field foo:"Ljava/util/Set;";
public Method "<init>":"()V"
stack 1 locals 1
{
aload_0;
invokespecial Method A."<init>":"()V";
return;
}
static Method "<clinit>":"()V";
} // end Class B
Comparing that to the rawClass bytecode, we notice that
static Method "<clinit>":"()V";
didn't exist and was indeed added by the MethodAdder.
However, the Visitor returned in
return new ClinitReplacer(api,mv,classname);
is never used. And therefore the static initialiser body remains empty resulting in the wrongful classification as native.

}
}

The problem is that your source class file doesn’t have a <clinit> method, hence, ASM doesn’t invoke visitMethod at all; it is you who does in
#Override
public void visitEnd() {
if(!hasStaticInitialiser) visitMethod(CLINIT_ACCESS,CLINIT_NAME,CLINIT_DESC,CLINIT_SIG,CLINIT_EXCEPT);
if(!hasStaticInitialiser) throw new IllegalStateException("ClinitReplacer not created");
super.visitEnd();
}
Here, you are invoking visitMethod for <clinit> if you didn’t encounter it before, but you’re not doing anything with the returned MethodVisitor, hence, no-one is doing anything with it.
If you want to treat an absent <clinit> like visiting an empty initializer, to be transformed, you have to perform the appropriate method calls yourself, i.e.
#Override
public void visitEnd() {
if(!hasStaticInitialiser) {
MethodVisitor mv = visitMethod(CLINIT_ACCESS,CLINIT_NAME,CLINIT_DESC,CLINIT_SIG,CLINIT_EXCEPT);
mv.visitCode();
mv.visitInsn(RETURN);
mv.visitMaxs(0, 0);
mv.visitEnd();
}
if(!hasStaticInitialiser) throw new IllegalStateException("ClinitReplacer not created");
super.visitEnd();
}
But note that then, you can’t do hot code replacement, as it doesn’t support adding any methods, including <clinit>. Further, hot code replacement won’t (re-)execute class initializers anyway.
But in your code, there is no need to load the type before performing your ASM transformation. You may remove the line
loadable.load(A.class.getClassLoader(), ClassLoadingStrategy.Default.INJECTION);
and then just use the resulting finishedClass bytecode, e.g.
ClassLoadingStrategy.Default.INJECTION.load(A.class.getClassLoader(),
Collections.singletonMap(loadable.getTypeDescription(), finishedClass));
Note that you won’t see much effect, as you are injecting code creating a HashMap, but not doing anything useful with it. You likely want to assign it to a field…
And, by the way, your code for writing a byte array is unnecessarily complicated:
private static void store(String name, byte[] finishedClass) {
Path path = Paths.get(name + ".class");
try {
FileChannel fc = null;
try {
Files.deleteIfExists(path);
fc = new FileOutputStream(path.toFile()).getChannel();
fc.write(ByteBuffer.wrap(finishedClass));
} finally {
if (fc != null) {
fc.close();
}
}
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
Just use
private static void store(String name, byte[] finishedClass) {
Path path = Paths.get(name + ".class");
try {
Files.write(path, finishedClass);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
Both, “create if it doesn’t exist” and “overwrite/truncate if it exists” are the default behavior.

To answer the part about defining a type initializer in Byte Buddy, this can be done using:
builder = builder.invokable(isTypeInitializer()).intercept(...);
You cannot explicitly define a type initializer as those initializers are for example never exposed by the reflection API and this helps to keep Byte Buddy's type description model coherent. Instead, you match the type initializer and Byte Buddy makes sure that an intializer is added as it seems appropriate.

storing custom object with different primitive types in ArrayList

I want to create a custom object with three ints and a String and store that object in an arrayList, but I seem to be having issues with it and haven't been able to find documentation for exactly my issue online. I'm getting errors on the fac.add. here is the code
**made some changes to the code
package facility;
import dal.DataAccess;
public class FacilityInfo implements Facility {
private int buildingNo, roomNo, capacity;;
private String type; //classroom, conference room, office, etc.
FacilityInfo(){}//default constructor
FacilityInfo(int b, int r, int c, String t){
this.buildingNo = b;
this.roomNo = r;
this.capacity = c;
this.type = t;
}
package dal;
import java.util.*;
import facility.FacilityInfo;
public class DataAccess {
List<FacilityInfo> fac = new ArrayList<FacilityInfo>();
fac.add(new FacilityInfo (1,2,10,conference));//changed code here
}

That's because of two main reasons.
First, 1,2,10,conference isn't a FacilityInfo object. You can't add the arguments of a FacilityInfo to the List, you have to add an actual object.
Second, you can't have statements outside of a code block, and currently you are calling fac.add(...); directly in the class body.
Try something like:
public class DataAccess {
List<FacilityInfo> fac = new ArrayList<FacilityInfo>();
public void initializeFac() {
fac.add(new FacilityInfo(1,2,10,"conference"));
// etc.
}
}

Error: static class forcing UnsupportedOperationException

I have a class that contains a static method for execute a external program using CreateProcess api from JNA (Java NAtive Access).
PS: I'm making based in this code found here in SO.
My trouble is that when put ProcessInformation class and StartupInfoA as static classes for use this in method described above, this forces a #Override of type:
#Override
protected List getFieldOrder() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
}
And I never have success for execute my project :-(. See:
So, i ask to you: - Exist some solution for it?
Here is how i'm making all process for obtain my goal:
package myProgram;
import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.Pointer;
import com.sun.jna.Structure;
import com.sun.jna.WString;
import static com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinBase.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
import static com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinUser.SW_SHOWNORMAL;
import com.sun.jna.win32.StdCallLibrary;
import java.util.List;
public class Execute {
public interface Kernel32 extends StdCallLibrary {
Kernel32 INSTANCE = (Kernel32) Native.loadLibrary("kernel32", Kernel32.class);
boolean CreateProcessA(
String lpApplicationName
, String lpCommandLine
, Structure lpProcessAttributes
, Structure lpThreadAttributes
, boolean bInheritHandles
, int dwCreationFlags
, Structure lpEnvironment
, String lpCurrentDirectory
, Structure lpStartupInfo
, Structure lpProcessInformation);
}
public static class ProcessInformation extends Structure {
public Pointer hProcess;
public Pointer hThread;
public int dwProcessId;
public int dwThreadId;
#Override
protected List getFieldOrder() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
}
}
public static class StartupInfoA extends Structure {
public int cb;
public WString lpReserved;
public WString lpDesktop;
public WString lpTitle;
public int dwX;
public int dwY;
public int dwXSize;
public int dwYSize;
public int dwXCountChars;
public int dwYCountChars;
public int dwFillAttribute;
public int dwFlags;
public short wShowWindow;
public short cbReserved2;
public Pointer lpReserved2;
public Pointer hStdInput;
public Pointer hStdOutput;
public Pointer hStdError;
#Override
protected List getFieldOrder() {
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not supported yet."); //To change body of generated methods, choose Tools | Templates.
}
}
public static void ExecuteProc(String software){
ProcessInformation processInformation = new ProcessInformation();
StartupInfoA startupInfo = new StartupInfoA();
startupInfo.dwFlags = STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW;
startupInfo.wShowWindow = SW_SHOWNORMAL;
Kernel32.INSTANCE.CreateProcessA(software, null
, null
, null
, true
, 0
, null
, null
, startupInfo
, processInformation);
}
}

The purpose of the getFieldOrder method is to provide the names and the order in which fields appear in a class that represents a Structure. You need to do the following :
ProcessInformation
Replace the getFieldOrder method as follows :
#Override
protected List getFieldOrder() {
return Arrays.asList(new String[] { "hProcess", "hThread", "dwProcessId", "dwThreadId" });
}
Similarly for StartupInfoA, return a list containing the names of the fields in StartupInfoA in the order in which they appear.

CellUtil: Key type in createCell method

I am using the CellUtil class packaged in org.apache.hadoop.hbase to create a Cell object. The function header looks like this:
public static Cell createCell(byte[] row, byte[] family, byte[] qualifier, long timestamp, byte type, byte[] value)
What does the 5th. argument byte type represent? I looked into the KeyValueType class and it refers to an enum called Type with the following definition:
public static enum Type {
Minimum((byte)0),
Put((byte)4),
Delete((byte)8),
DeleteFamilyVersion((byte)10),
DeleteColumn((byte)12),
DeleteFamily((byte)14),
// Maximum is used when searching; you look from maximum on down.
Maximum((byte)255);
private final byte code;
Type(final byte c) {
this.code = c;
}
public byte getCode() {
return this.code;
}
My question is, what has the type minimum, put, etc. got to do with the type of cell I want to create?

Sarin,
Please refer 69.7.6. KeyValue
There are some scenarios in which you will use these enums. For Example, I'm writing coprocessor like below then I will use KeyValue.Type.Put.getCode()
similarly other Enums also can be used like this.
See example co-processor usage below...
package getObserver;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.NavigableSet;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.Cell;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.CellUtil;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.KeyValue;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.client.Get;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.BaseRegionObserver;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.ObserverContext;
import org.apache.hadoop.hbase.coprocessor.RegionCoprocessorEnvironment;
public class Observer extends BaseRegionObserver{
private boolean isOewc;
#Override
public void preGetOp(ObserverContext<RegionCoprocessorEnvironment> arg0,
Get arg1, List<Cell> arg2) throws IOException {
NavigableSet<byte[]> qset = arg1.getFamilyMap().get("colfam1".getBytes());
if(qset==null){//do nothing
}else{
String message = "qset.size() = "+String.valueOf(qset.size());
String m = "isOewc = "+String.valueOf(isOewc);
this.isOewc = true;
Cell cell = CellUtil.createCell(
"preGet Row".getBytes(),
m.getBytes(),
message.getBytes(),
System.currentTimeMillis(),
KeyValue.Type.Put.getCode(),
"preGet Value".getBytes());
arg2.add(cell);
}
}
#Override
public void postGetOp(ObserverContext<RegionCoprocessorEnvironment> arg0,
Get arg1, List<Cell> arg2) throws IOException {
String m = "isOewc = "+String.valueOf(isOewc);
Cell cell = CellUtil.createCell(
"postGet Row".getBytes(),
m.getBytes(),
"postGet Qualifier".getBytes(),
System.currentTimeMillis(),
KeyValue.Type.Put.getCode(),
"postGet Value".getBytes());
arg2.add(cell);
}
}
Similarly other below EnumTypes can be used if you don't know which
operation you are going to perform on co-processor event..
programcreek examples clearly explains what is the usage of Put,Delete(prepare key value pairs for mutation) maximum,minimum (for range check). also Co-processor above example uses Put.

Can I change my Windows desktop wallpaper programmatically in Java/Groovy?

Is there a way I can use Java (or Groovy) to change my desktop wallpaper in Windows XP? I have a program that creates a new image every day (or whenever) and I would like a way to automatically update my desktop.
I've seem some questions on this site about C++ or .NET, but I did not see anything specific to Java.

Sorry I'm a bit behind #ataylor's answer because I was preparing a snippet to do it. Yes, JNA is a correct approach. Here you go:
import java.util.HashMap;
import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinDef.UINT_PTR;
import com.sun.jna.win32.*;
public class WallpaperChanger {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//supply your own path instead of using this one
String path = "C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\Chrysanthemum.jpg";
SPI.INSTANCE.SystemParametersInfo(
new UINT_PTR(SPI.SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER),
new UINT_PTR(0),
path,
new UINT_PTR(SPI.SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE | SPI.SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE));
}
public interface SPI extends StdCallLibrary {
//from MSDN article
long SPI_SETDESKWALLPAPER = 20;
long SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE = 0x01;
long SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE = 0x02;
SPI INSTANCE = (SPI) Native.loadLibrary("user32", SPI.class, new HashMap<Object, Object>() {
{
put(OPTION_TYPE_MAPPER, W32APITypeMapper.UNICODE);
put(OPTION_FUNCTION_MAPPER, W32APIFunctionMapper.UNICODE);
}
});
boolean SystemParametersInfo(
UINT_PTR uiAction,
UINT_PTR uiParam,
String pvParam,
UINT_PTR fWinIni
);
}
}
You need to have the JNA libraries on the classpath for this to work. This was tested in Windows 7, there might be some nuances in XP but I think it should work. That API is presumably stable.

How to determine if a screensaver is running in Java?
W32API.java
Edit (2010/01/20):
I had previously omitted the options SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE and SPIF_SENDWININICHANGE. These are now being used as they were suggested in the Coding4Fun MSDN article.

You can do it easier:
import com.sun.jna.Library;
import com.sun.jna.Native;
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinDef.HWND;
import com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinDef.PVOID;
import com.sun.jna.win32.W32APIOptions;
public class Wallpaper {
public static interface User32 extends Library {
User32 INSTANCE = (User32) Native.loadLibrary("user32",User32.class,W32APIOptions.DEFAULT_OPTIONS);
boolean SystemParametersInfo (int one, int two, String s ,int three);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
User32.INSTANCE.SystemParametersInfo(0x0014, 0, "C:\\Users\\Public\\Pictures\\Sample Pictures\\Chrysanthemum.jpg" , 1);
}
}

You can write a batch file to change the wall-paper, and execute that batch file using,
Runtime.getRuntime.exec()

The JNA java library allows you to easily call Win32 API calls. In particular, to change the desktop background, you need to call the SystemParametersInfo function.
Take a look at this article for an introduction to JNA: http://today.java.net/article/2009/11/11/simplify-native-code-access-jna

Here is a Pure Java implementation which uses Project Panama to make the native callbacks into Windows USER32.DLL. Note that the API is incubating so has changed between JDK16, 17 and later builds. These samples use the versions of Panama that are in the current JDK16/17 release, some changes may be required if you switch to the latest Panama Early Access builds.
