public class ClassFile
extends ClassConstants
ClassFile is a class that reads a class file, facilitates simple modifications to the class representation, and then writes the class representation to a file.

The information used to write this class was obtained from the book "The Java Virtual Machine Specification", pages 84 - 118.

Note: The use of all lower-case variable names with underscores is done to show an exact translation from the Virtual Machine Specification.

Constructor Index

o ClassFile(DataInput)
Create a ClassFile object from the specified input stream.

Method Index

o addAttribute(String, byte[])
Add the specified class attribute to this class.
o readClass(DataInput)
Read the specified data stream, and interpret it as a class byte representation.
o setClassname(String)
Rename the class represented by this object.
o writeClass(DataOutput)
Write the class representation contained in this object to an output stream.

Constructors

o ClassFile 
 public ClassFile(DataInput in)
Create a ClassFile object from the specified input stream.

Parameters:
in - The input stream from which the class bytes can be read.

Methods

o setClassname 
 public void setClassname(String newClassName)
Rename the class represented by this object. This must be done after the class representation has been created.

Parameters:
newClassName - The classname that this class will be changed to.
o addAttribute 
 public void addAttribute(String attributeName,
                          byte info[])
Add the specified class attribute to this class.

Parameters:
attributeName - The name of the class attribute to be added.
info - The attribute data.
o readClass 
 public void readClass(DataInput in)
Read the specified data stream, and interpret it as a class byte representation. The interpretation of the class will be stored, and can be written later using writeClass().

Parameters:
in - The input stream containing the class bytes.
o writeClass 
 public void writeClass(DataOutput out)
Write the class representation contained in this object to an output stream. The format written complies with the Java Class File specification.

Parameters:
out - The output stream on which this class should be written.
