Wrapper class that parses a given Java .class file. The method parse returns a JavaClass object on success. When an I/O error or an inconsistency occurs an appropriate exception is propagated back to the caller. The structure and the names comply, except for a few conveniences, exactly with the JVM specification 1.0. See this paper for further details about the structure of a bytecode file.

Method Detail

parseback to summary
public JavaClass parse() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Parses the given Java class file and return an object that represents the contained data, i.e., constants, methods, fields and commands. A ClassFormatException is raised, if the file is not a valid .class file. (This does not include verification of the byte code as it is performed by the Java interpreter).

Returns:JavaClass

Class object representing the parsed class file

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readAttributesback to summary
private void readAttributes() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Reads information about the attributes of the class.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readClassInfoback to summary
private void readClassInfo() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Reads information about the class and its super class.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readConstantPoolback to summary
private void readConstantPool() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Reads constant pool entries.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readFieldsback to summary
private void readFields() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Reads information about the fields of the class, i.e., its variables.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readIDback to summary
private void readID() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Checks whether the header of the file is ok. Of course, this has to be the first action on successive file reads.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readInterfacesback to summary
private void readInterfaces() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Reads information about the interfaces implemented by this class.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readMethodsback to summary
private void readMethods() throws IOException

Reads information about the methods of the class.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
readVersionback to summary
private void readVersion() throws IOException, ClassFormatException

Reads major and minor version of compiler which created the file.

Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs.
ClassFormatException:
if a class is malformed or cannot be interpreted as a class file
