Burningwave Core

Burningwave Core is an advanced, free and open source Java frameworks building library and it is useful for scanning class paths, generating classes at runtime, facilitating the use of reflection, scanning the filesystem, executing stringified source code, iterating collections or arrays in parallel, executing tasks in parallel and much more...

Burningwave Core contains AN EXTREMELY POWERFUL CLASSPATH SCANNER: it’s possible to search classes by every criteria that your imagination can make by using lambda expressions; scan engine is highly optimized using direct allocated ByteBuffers to avoid heap saturation; searches are executed in multithreading context and are not affected by “the issue of the same class loaded by different classloaders” (normally if you try to execute "isAssignableFrom" method on a same class loaded from different classloader it returns false).

And now we will see:

Including Burningwave Core in your project

To include Burningwave Core library in your projects simply use with Apache Maven:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.burningwave</groupId>
    <artifactId>core</artifactId>
    <version>12.65.2</version>
</dependency>

Requiring the Burningwave Core module

To use Burningwave Core as a Java module you need to add the following to your module-info.java:

requires org.burningwave.core;

Generating classes at runtime and invoking their methods with and without the use of reflection

For this purpose is necessary the use of ClassFactory component and of the sources generating components. Once the sources have been set in UnitSourceGenerator objects, they must be passed to loadOrBuildAndDefine method of ClassFactory with the ClassLoader where you want to define new generated classes. This method performs the following operations: tries to load all the classes present in the UnitSourceGenerator through the class loader, if at least one of these is not found it proceeds to compiling all the UnitSourceGenerators and uploading their classes on class loader: in this case, keep in mind that if a class with the same name was previously loaded by the class loader, the compiled class will not be uploaded. If you need more information you can:

Once the classes have been compiled and loaded, it is possible to invoke their methods in severals ways as shown at the end of the example below.

Retrieving classes of runtime class paths or of other paths through the ClassHunter

The components of the class paths scanning engine are: ByteCodeHunter, ClassHunter and the ClassPathHunter. Now we are going to use the ClassHunter to search for all classes that have package name that matches a regex. So in this example we're looking for all classes whose package name contains "springframework" string in the runtime class paths:

import java.util.Collection;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassHunter;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.JavaClass;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.SearchConfig;
import org.burningwave.core.io.FileSystemItem;
    
public class Finder {
    
   public Collection<Class<?>> find() {
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        ClassHunter classHunter = componentSupplier.getClassHunter();
        
        SearchConfig searchConfig = SearchConfig.create().addFileFilter(
            FileSystemItem.Criteria.forAllFileThat( fileSystemItem -> {
                JavaClass javaClass = fileSystemItem.toJavaClass();
                if (javaClass == null) {
                    return false;
                }
                String packageName = javaClass.getPackageName();
                return packageName != null && packageName.contains("springframework");
            })
        );

        try(ClassHunter.SearchResult searchResult = classHunter.findBy(searchConfig)) {
            return searchResult.getClasses();
        }
    }
    
}

It is also possible to expressly indicate the paths on which to search:

import java.util.Collection;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassCriteria;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassHunter;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.JavaClass;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.SearchConfig;
import org.burningwave.core.io.FileSystemItem;
import org.burningwave.core.io.PathHelper;
    
public class Finder {
    
   public Collection<Class<?>> find() {
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        PathHelper pathHelper = componentSupplier.getPathHelper();
        ClassHunter classHunter = componentSupplier.getClassHunter();
        
        SearchConfig searchConfig = SearchConfig.forPaths(
            //Here you can add all absolute path you want:
            //both folders, zip, jar, ear and war will be recursively scanned.
            //For example you can add: "C:\\Users\\user\\.m2", or a path of
            //an ear file that contains nested war with nested jar files
            //With the rows below the search will be executed on runtime class paths and
            //on java 9 and later also on .jmod files contained in jmods folder of the Java home
            //(see https://github.com/burningwave/core/wiki/In-depth-look-to-ClassHunter-and-configuration-guide)
            pathHelper.getAllMainClassPaths(),
            pathHelper.getPaths(PathHelper.Configuration.Key.MAIN_CLASS_REPOSITORIES)
            //If you want to scan only one jar you can replace the two line of code above with:
            //pathHelper.getPaths(path -> path.contains("spring-core-4.3.4.RELEASE.jar"))
        ).addFileFilter(
            FileSystemItem.Criteria.forAllFileThat( fileSystemItem -> {
                JavaClass javaClass = fileSystemItem.toJavaClass();
                if (javaClass == null) {
                    return false;
                }
                String packageName = javaClass.getPackageName();                       
                return packageName != null && packageName.contains("springframework");
            })
        );

        try(ClassHunter.SearchResult searchResult = classHunter.findBy(searchConfig)) {
            return searchResult.getClasses();
        }
    }
    
}

Finding where a class is loaded from

For this purpose we are going to use the ClassPathHunter component:

import java.util.Collection;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassPathHunter;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.JavaClass;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.SearchConfig;
import org.burningwave.core.io.FileSystemItem;
import org.burningwave.core.io.PathHelper;
    
public class Finder {
    
   public Collection<FileSystemItem> find() {
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        PathHelper pathHelper = componentSupplier.getPathHelper();
        ClassPathHunter classPathHunter = componentSupplier.getClassPathHunter();
        
        SearchConfig searchConfig = SearchConfig.forPaths(
            //Here you can add all absolute path you want:
            //both folders, zip and jar will be recursively scanned.
            //For example you can add: "C:\\Users\\user\\.m2"
            //With the line below the search will be executed on runtime class paths
            pathHelper.getMainClassPaths()
        ).addFileFilter(
            FileSystemItem.Criteria.forAllFileThat(fileSystemItem -> {
	            JavaClass javaClass = fileSystemItem.toJavaClass();
        	    return javaClass != null && javaClass.getName().equals(Finder.class.getName());
            })
        );

        try(ClassPathHunter.SearchResult searchResult = classPathHunter.findBy(searchConfig)) {
            return searchResult.getClassPaths();
        }
    }
    
}

Performing tasks in parallel with different priorities

Used by the IterableObjectHelper to iterate collections or arrays in parallel, the BackgroundExecutor component is able to run different functional interfaces in parallel by setting the priority of the thread they will be assigned to. There is also the option to wait for them start or finish.

For obtaining threads this component uses the ThreadSupplier that can be customized in the burningwave.static.properties file and provides a fixed number of reusable threads indicated by the thread-supplier.max-poolable-thread-count property and, if these threads have already been assigned, new non-reusable threads will be created whose quantity maximum is indicated by the thread-supplier.max-detached-thread-count property. Once this limit is reached if the request for a new thread exceeds the waiting time indicated by the thread-supplier.poolable-thread-request-timeout property, the ThreadSupplier will proceed to increase the limit indicated by the 'thread-supplier.max-detached-thread-count' property for the quantity indicated by the thread-supplier.max-detached-thread-count.increasing-step property. Resetting the 'thread-supplier.max-detached-thread-count' property to its initial value, will occur gradually only when there have been no more waits on thread requests for an amount of time indicated by the thread-supplier.max-detached-thread-count.elapsed-time-threshold-from-last-increase-for-gradual-decreasing-to-initial-value property.

import org.burningwave.core.concurrent.QueuedTasksExecutor.ProducerTask;
import org.burningwave.core.concurrent.QueuedTasksExecutor.Task;


public class TaskLauncher implements ManagedLogger {
    
    public void launch() {
        ProducerTask<Long> taskOne = BackgroundExecutor.createProducerTask(task -> {
            Long startTime = System.currentTimeMillis();
            logInfo("task one started");
            synchronized (this) {                
                wait(5000);
            }
            Task internalTask = BackgroundExecutor.createTask(tsk -> {
                logInfo("internal task started");    
                synchronized (this) {                
                    wait(5000);

            internalTask.waitForFinish();
            logInfo("task one finished");
            return startTime;
        }, Thread.MAX_PRIORITY);
        taskOne.submit();
        Task taskTwo = BackgroundExecutor.createTask(task -> {
            logInfo("task two started and wait for task one finishing");
            taskOne.waitForFinish();
            logInfo("task two finished");    
        }, Thread.NORM_PRIORITY);
        taskTwo.submit();
        ProducerTask<Long> taskThree = BackgroundExecutor.createProducerTask(task -> {
            logInfo("task three started and wait for task two finishing");
            taskTwo.waitForFinish();
            logInfo("task two finished");
            return System.currentTimeMillis();
        }, Thread.MIN_PRIORITY);
        taskThree.submit();
        taskThree.waitForFinish();
        logInfo("Elapsed time: {}ms", taskThree.join() - taskOne.join());
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new TaskLauncher().launch();
    }
    
}

Iterating collections and arrays in parallel by setting thread priority

Through the underlying configurable BackgroundExecutor the IterableObjectHelper component is able to iterate a collection or an array in parallel and execute an action on each iterated item giving also the ability to set the threads priority:

package org.burningwave.core.examples.iterableobjecthelper;

import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.IterableObjectHelper;
import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.ManagedLoggerRepository;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.stream.Collectors;
import java.util.stream.IntStream;

import org.burningwave.core.iterable.IterableObjectHelper.IterationConfig;

public class CollectionAndArrayIterator {

    public static void execute() {
        Collection<Integer> inputCollection =
            IntStream.rangeClosed(1, 1000000).boxed().collect(Collectors.toList());
        
        List<String> outputCollection = IterableObjectHelper.iterateAndGet(
            IterationConfig.of(inputCollection)
            //Enabling parallel iteration when the input collection size is greater than 2
            .parallelIf(inputColl -> inputColl.size() > 2)
            //Setting threads priority
            .withPriority(Thread.MAX_PRIORITY)
            //Setting up the output collection
            .withOutput(new ArrayList<String>())
            .withAction((number, outputCollectionSupplier) -> {
                if (number > 500000) {
                    //Terminating the current thread iteration early.
                    IterableObjectHelper.terminateCurrentThreadIteration();
                    //If you need to terminate all threads iteration (useful for a find first iteration) use
                    //IterableObjectHelper.terminateIteration();
                }
                if ((number % 2) == 0) {                        
                    outputCollectionSupplier.accept(outputColl ->
                        //Converting and adding item to output collection
                        outputColl.add(number.toString())
                    );
                }
            })    
        );
        
        IterableObjectHelper.iterate(
            IterationConfig.of(outputCollection)
            //Disabling parallel iteration
            .parallelIf(inputColl -> false)
            .withAction((number) -> {
                ManagedLoggerRepository.logInfo(CollectionAndArrayIterator.class::getName, "Iterated number: {}", number);
            })    
        );
        
        ManagedLoggerRepository.logInfo(
            CollectionAndArrayIterator.class::getName,
            "Output collection size {}", outputCollection.size()
        );
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        execute();
    }
    
}

Reaching a resource of the file system

Through FileSystemItem you can reach a resource of the file system even if it is contained in a nested supported (zip, jar, war, ear, jmod) compressed archive and obtain the content of it or other informations such as if it is a folder or a file or a compressed archive or if it is a compressed entry or obtain, if it is a folder or a compressed archive, the direct children or all nested children or a filtered collection of them. You can retrieve a FileSystemItem through an absolute path or through a relative path referred to your class path by using the PathHelper. FileSystemItems are cached and there will only be one instance of them for an absolute path and you can also clear the cache e reload all informations of a FileSystemItem. In the example below we show how to retrieve and use a FileSystemItem.

package org.burningwave.core.examples.filesystemitem;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.io.FileSystemItem;

public class ResourceReacher {
    
    private static void execute() {
        //Obtaining FileSystemItem through absolute path
        FileSystemItem fSI = FileSystemItem.ofPath("C:/Program Files (x86)");
       
        
        FileSystemItem firstFolderFound = null;
        
        //Obtaining direct children
        for (FileSystemItem child : fSI.getChildren()) {
            System.out.println("child name:" + child.getAbsolutePath());
            if (firstFolderFound == null && child.isFolder()) {
                 System.out.println(child.getAbsolutePath() + " is a folder: " + child.isFolder());
                 firstFolderFound = child;
            }
        }
        
        //Filtering all nested children for extension
        for (FileSystemItem child : firstFolderFound.findInAllChildren(
            FileSystemItem.Criteria.forAllFileThat(fSIC -> 
                "txt".equals(fSIC.getExtension()) || "exe".equals(fSIC.getExtension()))
            )
        ){
            System.out.println("child name: " + child.getName() + " - child parent: " + child.getParent().getName());
            //copy the file to a folder
            child.copyTo(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Desktop/copy");
        }
        
        //Obtaining a FileSystemItem through a relative path (in this case we are obtaining a reference to a jar
        //contained in an ear that is contained in a zip
        fSI = ComponentContainer.getInstance().getPathHelper().getResource(
            "/../../src/test/external-resources/libs-for-test.zip/ESC-Lib.ear/APP-INF/lib/jaxb-xjc-2.1.7.jar"
        );
        
        System.out.println("is an archive:" + fSI.isArchive());
        
        //This method return true if the file or folder is located inside a compressed archive
        System.out.println("is compressed:" + fSI.isCompressed());
        
        //this clear cache
        fSI.refresh(true);
        
        //Obtaining direct children
        for (FileSystemItem child : fSI.getChildren()) {
            System.out.println("child name:" + child.getAbsolutePath());
        }
        
        //Obtaining all nested children
        for (FileSystemItem child : fSI.getAllChildren()) {
            System.out.println("child name:" + child.getAbsolutePath());
        }
        
        //Obtaining the content of the resource (once the content is loaded it will be cached)
        fSI.toByteBuffer();
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        execute();
    }
    
}

Resolving, collecting or retrieving paths

Through PathHelper we can resolve or collect paths or retrieving resources even through supported archive files (zip, jar, jmod, ear and war). So we can create a path collection by adding an entry in burningwave.properties file that starts with paths. prefix (this is a fundamental requirement to allow PathHelper to load the paths), e.g.:

paths.my-collection=c:/some folder;C:/some folder 2/ some folder 3;
paths.my-collection-2=c:/some folder 4;C:/some folder 6;

These paths could be retrieved through PathHelper.getPaths method and we can find a resource in all configured paths plus the runtime class paths (that is automatically loaded under the entry named paths.main-class-paths) by using PathHelper.getResource method, e.g.:

ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
PathHelper pathHelper = componentSupplier.getPathHelper();
Collection<String> paths = pathHelper.getPaths("paths.my-collection", "paths.my-collection-2"));
//With the code below all configured paths plus runtime class paths will be iterated to search
//the resource called some.jar
FileSystemItem resource = pathHelper.getResource("/../some.jar");
InputStream inputStream = resource.toInputStream();

We can also use placeholder and relative paths, e.g.:

paths.my-collection-3=C:/some folder 2/ some folder 3;
paths.my-jar=${paths.my-collection-3}/../some.jar;

It is also possibile to obtain references to resources of the runtime class paths by using the pre-loaded entry 'paths.main-class-paths' (runtime class paths are automatically iterated for searching the path that match the entry), e.g.:

paths.my-jar=${paths.main-class-paths}/../some.jar;

We can also use a FileSystemItem listing (FSIL) expression and, for example, create a path collection of all absolute path of all classes of the runtime class paths:

paths.all-runtime-classes=//${paths.main-class-paths}//allChildren:.*?\.classes;

A FSIL expression encloses in a couple of double slash an absolute path or a placeholdered path collection that will be scanned; after the second double slash we have the listing type that could refear to direct children of scanned paths ('children') or to all nested children of scanned paths ('allChildren'); after that and colons we have the regular expression with we are going to filter the absolute paths iterated.

Retrieving placeholdered items from map and properties file

With IterableObjectHelper component it is possible to retrieve items from map by using placeholder or not. In the following example we are going to show how to retrieve strings or objects from burningwave.properties file and from maps.

burningwave.properties file:

...
code-block-1=\
    ${code-block-2}\
    return (T)Date.from(zonedDateTime.toInstant());
code-block-2=\
    LocalDateTime localDateTime = (LocalDateTime)parameter[0];\
    ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime = localDateTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
...

Java code:

import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.IterableObjectHelper;

import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.HashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import java.util.Properties;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.io.PathHelper;
import org.burningwave.core.iterable.IterableObjectHelper.ResolveConfig;

@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class ItemFromMapRetriever {
    
    public void execute() throws IOException {
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        PathHelper pathHelper = componentSupplier.getPathHelper();
        Properties properties = new Properties();
        properties.load(pathHelper.getResourceAsStream("burningwave.properties"));
        String code = IterableObjectHelper.resolveStringValue(
            ResolveConfig.forNamedKey("code-block-1")
            .on(properties)
        );

        Map<Object, Object> map = new HashMap<>();
        map.put("class-loader-01", "${class-loader-02}");
        map.put("class-loader-02", "${class-loader-03}");
        map.put("class-loader-03", Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getParent());
        ClassLoader parentClassLoader = IterableObjectHelper.resolveValue(
            ResolveConfig.forNamedKey("class-loader-01")
            .on(map)
        );
        
        map.clear();
        map.put("class-loaders", "${class-loader-02};${class-loader-03};");
        map.put("class-loader-02", Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
        map.put("class-loader-03", Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader().getParent());
        Collection<ClassLoader> classLoaders = IterableObjectHelper.resolveValues(
            ResolveConfig.forNamedKey("class-loaders")
            .on(map)
            .withValuesSeparator(";")
        );
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
        new ItemFromMapRetriever().execute();
    }
}

Handling privates and all other members of an object

Through Fields, Constructors and Methods components it is possible to get or set fields value, invoking or finding constructors or methods of an object. Members handlers use to cache all members for faster access. For fields handling we are going to use Fields component:

import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.Fields;

import java.lang.reflect.Field;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

import org.burningwave.core.classes.FieldCriteria;


@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class FieldsHandler {
    
    public static void execute() {
        ClassLoader classLoader = Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader();
        //Fast access by memory address
        Collection<Class<?>> loadedClasses = Fields.getDirect(classLoader, "classes");
        //Access by Reflection
        loadedClasses = Fields.get(classLoader, "classes");
        
        //Get all field values of an object through memory address access
        Map<Field, ?> values = Fields.getAllDirect(classLoader);
        //Get all field values of an object through reflection access
        values = Fields.getAll(classLoader);
        
        Object obj = new Object() {
            volatile List<Object> objectValue;
            volatile int intValue = 1;
            volatile long longValue = 2l;
            volatile float floatValue = 3f;
            volatile double doubleValue = 4.1d;
            volatile boolean booleanValue = true;
            volatile byte byteValue = (byte)5;
            volatile char charValue = 'c';
        };
        
        //Get all filtered field values of an object through memory address access
        Fields.getAllDirect(
            FieldCriteria.forEntireClassHierarchy().allThoseThatMatch(field -> {
                return field.getType().isPrimitive();
            }), 
            obj
        ).values();
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        execute();
    }
    
}

For methods handling we are going to use Methods component:

import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.Classes;
import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.Methods;

import java.lang.invoke.MethodHandle;
import java.lang.reflect.Method;
import java.nio.ByteBuffer;
import java.security.ProtectionDomain;
import java.util.Collection;

import org.burningwave.core.classes.MethodCriteria;


@SuppressWarnings("unused")
public class MethodsHandler {
    
    public static void execute() {
        //Invoking method by using reflection
        Methods.invoke(System.out, "println", "Hello World");

        //Invoking static method by using MethodHandle
        Integer number = Methods.invokeStaticDirect(Integer.class, "valueOf", 1);
        
        //Invoking method by using MethodHandle
        Methods.invokeDirect(System.out, "println", number);
        
        //Filtering and obtaining a MethodHandle reference
        MethodHandle methodHandle = Methods.findFirstDirectHandle(
            MethodCriteria.byScanUpTo((cls) ->
            //We only analyze the ClassLoader class and not all of its hierarchy (default behavior)
                cls.getName().equals(ClassLoader.class.getName())
            ).name(
                "defineClass"::equals
            ).and().parameterTypes(params -> 
                params.length == 3
            ).and().parameterTypesAreAssignableFrom(
                String.class, ByteBuffer.class, ProtectionDomain.class
            ).and().returnType((cls) -> 
                cls.getName().equals(Class.class.getName())
            ), ClassLoader.class
        );        
        
        //Filtering and obtaining all methods of ClassLoader class that have at least
        //one input parameter of Class type
        Collection<Method> methods = Methods.findAll(
            MethodCriteria.byScanUpTo((cls) ->
            	//We only analyze the ClassLoader class and not all of its hierarchy (default behavior)
                cls.getName().equals(ClassLoader.class.getName())
            ).parameter((params, idx) -> {
                return Classes.isAssignableFrom(params[idx].getType(), Class.class);
            }), ClassLoader.class
        );
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        execute();
    }
    
}

For constructors handling we are going to use Constructors component:

import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.Constructors;

import org.burningwave.core.classes.MemoryClassLoader;

public class ConstructorsHandler {
    
    public static void execute() {
        //Invoking constructor by using reflection
        MemoryClassLoader classLoader = Constructors.newInstanceOf(MemoryClassLoader.class, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
        
        //Invoking constructor with a null parameter value by using MethodHandle
        classLoader = Constructors.newInstanceDirectOf(MemoryClassLoader.class, null);
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        execute();
    }
    
}

Executing stringified source code

It is possible to execute stringified source code by using the CodeExecutor in three three different ways:

through BodySourceGenerator
through a property located in Burningwave configuration file
through a property located in a custom Properties file

Executing code with BodySourceGenerator

For first way we must create a ExecuteConfig by using the within static method forBodySourceGenerator to which must be passed the BodySourceGenerator that contains the source code with the parameters used within: after that we must pass the created configuration to the execute method of CodeExecutor as shown below:

package org.burningwave.core.examples.codeexecutor;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ExecuteConfig;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.BodySourceGenerator;

public class SourceCodeExecutor {
    
    public static Integer execute() {
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        return componentSupplier.getCodeExecutor().execute(
            ExecuteConfig.forBodySourceGenerator(
                BodySourceGenerator.createSimple().useType(ArrayList.class, List.class)
                .addCodeLine("System.out.println(\"number to add: \" + parameter[0]);")
                .addCodeLine("List<Integer> numbers = new ArrayList<>();")
                .addCodeLine("numbers.add((Integer)parameter[0]);")
                .addCodeLine("System.out.println(\"number list size: \" + numbers.size());")
                .addCodeLine("System.out.println(\"number in the list: \" + numbers.get(0));")
                .addCodeLine("Integer inputNumber = (Integer)parameter[0];")
                .addCodeLine("return Integer.valueOf(inputNumber + (Integer)parameter[1]);")
            ).withParameter(Integer.valueOf(5), Integer.valueOf(3))
        );
        
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Total is: " + execute());
    }
}

Executing code of a property located in Burningwave configuration file

To execute code from Burningwave configuration file (burningwave.properties or other file that we have used to create the ComponentContainer: see architectural overview and configuration) we must add to it a property that contains the code and, if it is necessary to import classes, we must add them to another property named as the property that contains the code plus the suffix 'imports'. E.g:

code-block-1=\
    Date now= new Date();\
    return (T)now;
code-block-1.imports=java.util.Date;

It is also possible to include the code of a property in another property:

code-block-1=\
    ${code-block-2}\
    return (T)Date.from(zonedDateTime.toInstant());
code-block-1.imports=\
    ${code-block-2.imports};\
    java.util.Date;
code-block-2=\
    LocalDateTime localDateTime = (LocalDateTime)parameter[0];\
    ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime = localDateTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
code-block-2.imports=\
    static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.Strings;\
    java.time.LocalDateTime;\
    java.time.ZonedDateTime;\
    java.time.ZoneId;

After that, for executing the code of the property we must call the executeProperty method of CodeExecutor and passing to it the property name to be executed and the parameters used in the property code:

package org.burningwave.core.examples.codeexecutor;

import java.time.LocalDateTime;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;

public class SourceCodeExecutor {
    
    public static void execute() {
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        System.out.println("Time is: " +
            componentSupplier.getCodeExecutor().executeProperty("code-block-1", LocalDateTime.now())    
        );
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        execute();
    }
}

Executing code of a property located in a custom properties file

To execute code from a custom properties file we must add to it a property that contains the code and, if it is necessary to import classes, we must add them to another property named as the property that contains the code plus the suffix 'imports'. E.g:

code-block-1=\
    Date now= new Date();\
    return (T)now;
code-block-1.imports=java.util.Date;

It is also possible to include the code of a property in another property:

code-block-1=\
    ${code-block-2}\
    return (T)Date.from(zonedDateTime.toInstant());
code-block-1.imports=\
    ${code-block-2.imports};\
    java.util.Date;
code-block-2=\
    LocalDateTime localDateTime = (LocalDateTime)parameter[0];\
    ZonedDateTime zonedDateTime = localDateTime.atZone(ZoneId.systemDefault());
code-block-2.imports=\
    static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.Strings;\
    java.time.LocalDateTime;\
    java.time.ZonedDateTime;\
    java.time.ZoneId;

After that, for executing the code of the property we must create an ExecuteConfig object and set on it:

the path (relative or absolute) of our custom properties file
the property name to be executed
the parameters used in the property code

Then we must call the execute method of CodeExecutor with the created ExecuteConfig object:

package org.burningwave.core.examples.codeexecutor;

import java.time.LocalDateTime;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ExecuteConfig;

public class SourceCodeExecutor {
    
    public static void execute() {
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        System.out.println("Time is: " +
            componentSupplier.getCodeExecutor().execute(
                ExecuteConfig.forPropertiesFile("custom-folder/code.properties")
                //Uncomment the line below if the path you have supplied is an absolute path
                //.setFilePathAsAbsolute(true)
                .setPropertyName("code-block-1")
                .withParameter(LocalDateTime.now())
            )    
        );
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        execute();
    }
}

Getting and setting properties of a Java bean through path

Through ByFieldOrByMethodPropertyAccessor and ByMethodOrByFieldPropertyAccessor it is possible to get and set properties of a Java bean by using path. So for this example we will use these Java beans:

package org.burningwave.core.bean;

import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Map;

public class Complex {
    private Complex.Data data;
    
    public Complex() {
        setData(new Data());
    }
    
    
    public Complex.Data getData() {
        return data;
    }
    
    public void setData(Complex.Data data) {
        this.data = data;
    }


    public static class Data {
        private Data.Item[][] items;
        private List<Data.Item> itemsList;
        private Map<String, Data.Item[][]> itemsMap;
        
        public Data() {
            items = new Data.Item[][] {
                new Data.Item[] {
                    new Item("Hello"),
                    new Item("World!"),
                    new Item("How do you do?")
                },
                new Data.Item[] {
                    new Item("How do you do?"),
                    new Item("Hello"),
                    new Item("Bye")
                }
            };
            itemsMap = new LinkedHashMap<>();
            itemsMap.put("items", items);
        }
        
        public Data.Item[][] getItems() {
            return items;
        }
        public void setItems(Data.Item[][] items) {
            this.items = items;
        }
        
        public List<Data.Item> getItemsList() {
            return itemsList;
        }
        public void setItemsList(List<Data.Item> itemsList) {
            this.itemsList = itemsList;
        }
        
        public Map<String, Data.Item[][]> getItemsMap() {
            return itemsMap;
        }
        public void setItemsMap(Map<String, Data.Item[][]> itemsMap) {
            this.itemsMap = itemsMap;
        }
        
        public static class Item {
            private String name;
            
            public Item(String name) {
                this.name = name;
            }
            
            public String getName() {
                return name;
            }

            public void setName(String name) {
                this.name = name;
            }
        }
    }
}

... And now we are going to get and set some properties:

import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.ByFieldOrByMethodPropertyAccessor;
import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.ByMethodOrByFieldPropertyAccessor;

import org.burningwave.core.bean.Complex;

public class GetAndSetPropertiesThroughPath{
    
    public void execute() {
        Complex complex = new Complex();
        //This type of property accessor try to access by field introspection: if no field was found
        //it will search getter method and invokes it
        String nameFromObjectInArray = ByFieldOrByMethodPropertyAccessor.get(complex, "data.items[1][0].name");
        String nameFromObjectMap = ByFieldOrByMethodPropertyAccessor.get(complex, "data.itemsMap[items][1][1].name");
        System.out.println(nameFromObjectInArray);
        System.out.println(nameFromObjectMap);
        //This type of property accessor looks for getter method and invokes it: if no getter method was found
        //it will search for field and try to retrieve it
        nameFromObjectInArray = ByMethodOrByFieldPropertyAccessor.get(complex, "data.items[1][2].name");
        nameFromObjectMap = ByMethodOrByFieldPropertyAccessor.get(complex, "data.itemsMap[items][1][1].name");
        System.out.println(nameFromObjectInArray);
        System.out.println(nameFromObjectMap);
        ByMethodOrByFieldPropertyAccessor.set(complex, "data.itemsMap[items][1][1].name", "Good evening!");
        nameFromObjectInArray = ByMethodOrByFieldPropertyAccessor.get(complex, "data.itemsMap[items][1][1].name");
        System.out.println(nameFromObjectInArray);
    }
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new GetAndSetPropertiesThroughPath().execute();
    }
    
}

Architectural overview and configuration

Burningwave Core is based on the concept of component and component container. A component is a dynamic object that perform functionality related to the domain it belong to. A component container contains a set of dynamic components and could be of two types:

static component container
dynamic component container

More than one dynamic container can be created, while only one static container can exists.

Static component container

It is represented by the org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer class that provides the following fields for each component supplied:

public static final org.burningwave.core.concurrent.QueuedTasksExecutor.Group BackgroundExecutor;
public static final org.burningwave.core.jvm.BufferHandler BufferHandler;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.FieldAccessor ByFieldOrByMethodPropertyAccessor;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.FieldAccessor ByMethodOrByFieldPropertyAccessor;
public static final org.burningwave.core.Cache Cache;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.Classes Classes;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.Classes.Loaders ClassLoaders;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.Constructors Constructors;
public static final io.github.toolfactory.jvm.Driver Driver;
public static final org.burningwave.core.io.FileSystemHelper FileSystemHelper;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.Fields Fields;
public static final org.burningwave.core.iterable.Properties GlobalProperties;
public static final org.burningwave.core.iterable.IterableObjectHelper IterableObjectHelper;
public static final io.github.toolfactory.jvm.Info JVMInfo;
public static final org.burningwave.core.ManagedLogger.Repository ManagedLoggerRepository;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.Members Members;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.Methods Methods;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.Modules Modules; //Null on JDK 8
public static final org.burningwave.core.Objects Objects;
public static final org.burningwave.core.Strings.Paths Paths;
public static final org.burningwave.core.io.Resources Resources;
public static final org.burningwave.core.classes.SourceCodeHandler SourceCodeHandler;
public static final org.burningwave.core.io.Streams Streams;
public static final org.burningwave.core.Strings Strings;
public static final org.burningwave.core.concurrent.Synchronizer Synchronizer;
public static final org.burningwave.core.SystemProperties SystemProperties;
public static final org.burningwave.core.concurrent.Thread.Holder ThreadHolder;
public static final org.burningwave.core.concurrent.Thread.Supplier ThreadSupplier;

... That can be used within your application, simply adding a static import to your compilation unit, i.e.:

import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.ClassLoaders;
import static org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.ManagedLoggerRepository;

public class UseOfStaticComponentsExample {
    
    public void yourMethod(){
        ManagedLoggerRepository.logInfo(
            UseOfStaticComponentsExample.class::getName,
            "Master class loader is {}",
            ClassLoaders.getMaster(Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader())
        );
    }

}

Configuration

The configuration of this type of container is done via burningwave.static.properties file that must be located in the base path of your class path: the library looks for all files with this name and merges them according to to the property priority-of-this-configuration contained within it which is optional but becomes mandatory if in the base class paths there are multiple files with the file name indicated above. It is possible to change the file name of the configuration file through the method org.burningwave.core.assembler.StaticComponentContainer.Configuration.Default.setFileName before using the static component container or if you need to integrate the configuration properties into Spring you can follow this guide. If no configuration file is found, the library programmatically sets the default configuration with following values:

background-executor.all-tasks-monitoring.enabled=\

	30000
background-executor.all-tasks-monitoring.logger.enabled=\

#Other possible values are: 'mark as probable dead locked',

If in your custom burningwave.static.properties file one of this default properties is not found, the relative default value here in the box above is assumed. Here an example of a burningwave.static.properties file.

Dynamic component container

It is represented by the org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer class that provides the following methods for each component supplied:

public ByteCodeHunter getByteCodeHunter();
public ClassFactory getClassFactory();
public ClassHunter getClassHunter();
public ClassPathHelper getClassPathHelper();
public ClassPathHunter getClassPathHunter();
public CodeExecutor getCodeExecutor();
public FunctionalInterfaceFactory getFunctionalInterfaceFactory();
public JavaMemoryCompiler getJavaMemoryCompiler();
public PathHelper getPathHelper();
public PathScannerClassLoader getPathScannerClassLoader();

... That can be used within your application, simply as follow:

package org.burningwave.core.examples.componentcontainer;

import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer;
import org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentSupplier;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassFactory;
import org.burningwave.core.classes.ClassHunter;
import org.burningwave.core.io.PathHelper;
import java.util.Properties;

public class RetrievingDynamicComponentContainerAndComponents {

    public static void execute() throws Throwable {
        //In this case we are retrieving the singleton component container instance
        ComponentSupplier componentSupplier = ComponentContainer.getInstance();
        
        //In this case we are creating a component container by using a custom configuration file
        ComponentSupplier customComponentSupplier = ComponentContainer.create("your-custom-properties-file.properties");
        
        //In this case we are creating a component container programmatically by using a custom properties object
        Properties configProps = new Properties();
        configProps.put(ClassFactory.Configuration.Key.DEFAULT_CLASS_LOADER, Thread.currentThread().getContextClassLoader());
        configProps.put(ClassHunter.Configuration.Key.DEFAULT_PATH_SCANNER_CLASS_LOADER, componentSupplier.getPathScannerClassLoader());
        ComponentSupplier customComponentSupplier2 = ComponentContainer.create(configProps);
        
        PathHelper pathHelper = componentSupplier.getPathHelper();
        ClassFactory classFactory = customComponentSupplier.getClassFactory();
        ClassHunter classHunter = customComponentSupplier2.getClassHunter();
       
    }   
    
}

Configuration

The configuration of this type of container can be done via Properties file or programmatically via a Properties object. If you use the singleton instance obtained via ComponentContainer.getInstance() method, you must create a burningwave.properties file and put it on base path of your class path project: the library looks for all files with this name and merges them according to to the property priority-of-this-configuration contained within it which is optional but becomes mandatory if in the base class paths there are multiple files with the file name indicated above. It is possible to change the file name of the configuration file through the method org.burningwave.core.assembler.ComponentContainer.Configuration.Default.setFileName before using the component container or if you need to integrate the configuration properties into Spring you can follow this guide. If no configuration file is found, the library programmatically sets the default configuration with following values:

If in your custom burningwave.properties file one of this default properties is not found, the relative default value here in the box above is assumed.

If you create a component container instance through method ComponentContainer.create(String relativeConfigFileName), you can specify the file name of your properties file and you can locate it everywhere in your class path project but remember to use a relative path in this case, i.e.: if you name your file "custom-config-file.properties" and put it in package "org.burningwave" you must create the component container as follow:

ComponentContainer.create("org/burningwave/custom-config-file.properties")

Here an example of a burningwave.properties file.
