JDK1.5之后提供了java.lang.instrument.Instrumentation,即java agent机制能够实现类的redefinition和retransform。
redefinition对应Instrumentation.redefineClasses()能够实现类的热替换,但遗憾的是功能很有限。

The redefinition may change method bodies, the constant pool and attributes.
The redefinition must not add, remove or rename fields or methods, change the
signatures of methods, or change inheritance. These restrictions maybe be
lifted in future versions.

最近遇到一个开源项目spring-loaded,看了下官方的介绍文档:发现它功能比JDK自带的强大多了。

Spring Loaded is a JVM agentforreloadingclassfile changes whilst a JVM is running.
It transforms classes at loadtime to make them amenable to later reloading.
Unlike'hot code replace'which only allows simple changes once a JVM is running
(e.g. changes to method bodies), Spring Loaded allows you to
add/modify/delete methods/fields/constructors.
The annotations on types/methods/fields/constructors
can also be modified and it is possible to add/remove/change values inenumtypes.

经过自己的尝试,发现使用spring-loaded项目,确实可以实现java应用的热部署。下面介绍下如何将spring-loaded引入到项目中。我们可以运行下面的这段代码,然后修改A.say()方法,看看在不重启JVM的情况下,是否能够动态改变。

packagetest;
importdemo.A;
publicclassTestPreMain
{
// -javaagent:springloaded-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar -noverify
publicstaticvoidmain(String[] args)throwsException
{
A a =newA();
while(true)
{
a.say();
Thread.sleep(3000);
}
}
}

为了使用spring-loaded实现热部署,我们只需要在启动JVM的时候,增加如下的启动参数即可
1
|
-javaagent:springloaded-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar -noverify
|
如果是通过eclipse启动,那么可以在run confiuration中进行设置

1
|
set JAVA_OPTS=-javaagent:springloaded-1.2.0.RELEASE.jar -noverify
|
这样就完成了spring-loaded的安装,能够检测tomcat下部署的webapp,在不重启tomcat的情况下,实现应用的热部署。
