A code snippet requestor implements a callback interface for installing the class files for a code snippet on the target and running it. In addition, it receives compilation problems detected during code snippet compilation.

Clients may implement this interface to provide a bridge a running Java VM.

Sends the given class files to the target and loads them. If the given class name is not null, run the code snippet with this class name. Returns whether the code snippet could be deployed. Note it must return true even if running the code snippet threw an exception.

The details of sending and loading the class files are left up to implementations.

To run a code snippet, an implementation should create a new instance of the given code snippet class and call (directly or using another means) its RUN_METHOD.

Also before the call, the implementation should copy the values of the local variables (if any) into the corresponding fields of the code snippet instance. A field name is formed of LOCAL_VAR_PREFIX preceded the name of the local variable. For example, the field name for local variable "myLocal" is "val$myLocal" (assuming the value of LOCAL_VAR_PREFIX is "val$"). In the same way, the implementation should copy the value of the 'this' object into the field called DELEGATE_THIS.

After calling the RUN_METHOD, the values of the local variables may have been modified. The implementation must copy the values of the fields back into the local variables.

Finally, the overall value returned by the code snippet can be retrieved from the special field RESULT_VALUE_FIELD on the code snippet instance. The Class that is the runtime type of the returned value can be retrieved from the special field RESULT_TYPE_FIELD.

Params:
  • classFileBytes – the list of class file bytes
  • classFileCompoundNames – the corresponding list of class file type compound names (example of a compound name: {"java", "lang", "Object"})
  • codeSnippetClassName – name of the actual class to instantiate and run, or null if none
Returns:true if the code snippet was successfully deployed

Notifies of an evaluation problem. Problems can arise for source of the following kinds:
  • global variable (VARIABLE) - fragment source is name of variable
  • code snippet (CODE_SNIPPET) - fragment source is code snippet
  • import declaration (IMPORT) - fragment source is import
  • package declaration (PACKAGE) - fragment source is package declaration
  • other (INTERNAL) - no fragment source is involved, internal error occurred.
Params:
  • problemMarker – the problem marker (cannot be null)
  • fragmentSource – the fragment source
  • fragmentKind – the kind of source fragment; one of: VARIABLE, CODE_SNIPPET, IMPORT, PACKAGE, or INTERNAL
