Class ByteBuddyAgent
- java.lang.Object
-
- net.bytebuddy.agent.ByteBuddyAgent
-
public class ByteBuddyAgent extends java.lang.Object
The Byte Buddy agent provides a JVM
Instrumentation
in order to allow Byte Buddy the redefinition of already loaded classes. An agent must normally be specified via the command line via thejavaagent
parameter. As an argument to this parameter, one must specify the location of this agent's jar file such as for example injava -javaagent:byte-buddy-agent.jar -jar app.jar
Note: The runtime installation of a Java agent is not possible on all JVMs. See the documentation for
install()
for details on JVMs that are supported out of the box.Important: This class's name is known to the Byte Buddy main application and must not be altered.
Note: Byte Buddy does not execute code using an
AccessController
. If a security manager is present, the user of this class is responsible for assuring any required privileges.

install
public static java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation install()
Installs an agent on the currently running Java virtual machine. Unfortunately, this does not always work. The runtime installation of a Java agent is supported for:
- JVM version 9+: For Java VM of at least version 9, the attachment API was moved
into a module and the runtime installation is possible if the
jdk.attach
module is available to Byte Buddy which is typically only available for VMs shipped with a JDK. - OpenJDK / Oracle JDK / IBM J9 versions 8-: The installation for HotSpot is only
possible when bundled with a JDK and requires a
tools.jar
bundled with the VM which is typically only available for JDK-versions of the JVM. - When running Linux and including the optional junixsocket-native-common depedency, Byte Buddy emulates a Unix socket connection to attach to the target VM.
If an agent cannot be installed, an
IllegalStateException
is thrown.Important: This is a rather computation-heavy operation. Therefore, this operation is not repeated after an agent was successfully installed for the first time. Instead, the previous instrumentation instance is returned. However, invoking this method requires synchronization such that subsequently to an installation,
getInstrumentation()
should be invoked instead.- Returns:
- An instrumentation instance representing the currently running JVM.
- JVM version 9+: For Java VM of at least version 9, the attachment API was moved
into a module and the runtime installation is possible if the
-
install
public static java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation install(ByteBuddyAgent.AttachmentProvider attachmentProvider)
