Enum Class TypeValidation

java.lang.Object
java.lang.Enum<TypeValidation>
net.bytebuddy.dynamic.scaffold.TypeValidation
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<TypeValidation>, Constable

public enum TypeValidation extends Enum<TypeValidation>

If type validation is enabled, Byte Buddy performs several checks to ensure that a generated class file is specified in a valid manner. This involves checks of the generated instrumented type and checks of the generated byte code. Byte Buddy's Implementation instances perform their own checks, independently of any type validation.

The JVM's verifier performs its own checks; an illegal class file is never loaded. However, Byte Buddy's checks might be more expressive in the context of using the library. Also, Byte Buddy emits exceptions at class creation time while the JVM emits errors at class loading time.

  • Enum Constant Details

    • ENABLED

      public static final TypeValidation ENABLED
      Enables Byte Buddy's validation.
    • DISABLED

      public static final TypeValidation DISABLED
      Disables Byte Buddy's validation.
  • Field Details

    • enabled

      private final boolean enabled
      true if type validation is enabled.
  • Constructor Details

    • TypeValidation

      private TypeValidation(boolean enabled)
      Creates a new type validation enumeration.
      Parameters:
      enabled - true if type validation is enabled.
  • Method Details

    • values

      public static TypeValidation[] values()
      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.
      Returns:
      an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared
    • valueOf

      public static TypeValidation valueOf(String name)
      Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
      name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
      the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name
      NullPointerException - if the argument is null
    • of

      public static TypeValidation of(boolean enabled)
      Returns ENABLED if the supplied argument is true.
      Parameters:
      enabled - true if type validation should be enabled.
      Returns:
      A suitable type validation representation.
    • isEnabled

      public boolean isEnabled()
      Returns true if type validation is enabled.
      Returns:
      true if type validation is enabled.
