Previously, RandomAccessDataFile used a semaphore and acquired it
interruptibly. This meant that an interrupted thread was unable to
access the file. Notably, this would prevent LaunchedURLClassLoader from
loading classes or resources on an interrupted thread.
The previous commit (937f857) updates RandomAccessDataFile to acquire
the semaphore uninterruptibly. This commit adds a test to
LaunchedURLClassLoader to verify that it can now load a resource from
an interrupted thread.
Closes gh-6683
This commit improves the performance of JarURLConnection. There are two
main changes:
Firstly, the way in which the spec is determined has been changed so
that it’s no longer necessary to create an absolute file. Instead,
the JarFile’s pathFromRoot is used to extract the spec from the URL
relative to the JarFile.
Secondly, the number of temporary Objects that are created has been
reduced, for example by tracking an index as we process a String
rather than creating a new substring for each iteration.
See gh-6215
JarURLConnection is very performance sensitive. The change in 3772d9f
meant that every JarURLConnection would create a FilePermission,
irrespective of whether it was actually used.
This commit updates JarURLConnection to create its FilePermission
lazily. When there is no security manager a permission will no longer
be created at all.
Closes gh-5411
See gh-6215
Previously, JarURLConnection assumed that that URL with which it was
created would contain the absolute path of the underlying jar file.
This meant that when it was created with a relative URL, it could fail
to find an entry or throw a StringIndexOutOfBoundsException.
This commit updates the logic for normalizing the input URL so that
both absolute and relative URLs are supported.
Closes gh-6109
Previously, JarURLConnection didn't override getPermission(). This
meant that it required all permissions. This was at odds with the
Oracle JVM's concrete sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection which
overrides getPermission to return a FilePermission with the read
action for the path of the underlying jar.
This commit updates our JarURLConnection to align its behaviour with
sun.net.www.protocol.jar.JarURLConnection.
Closes gh-5411
Using a separate thread to call the application's main method is
unnecessary – the context class loader of the current thread can be
updated instead – and makes exception and exit code handling more
complicated than it needs to be.
This commit updates the Launcher so that it calls the main method
runner using the current (main) thread. As a result, any exception
that's thrown will be caught by the JVM and result in a non-zero exit
code being returned from the process.
Closes gh-5922
Update CentralDirectoryParser to reduce the number of objects created
when parsing the central directory. A single CentralDirectoryFileHeader
object is now reused as entries are parsed.
Fixes gh-5260
Previously, the CLI would always use the class loader to try to locate
a source file. This was contrary to the SourceOptions javadoc which
states that the class loader is “used to try and load files that are
not found in the local filesystem”. This provide to be problematic on
Windows when a fully-qualified source file was supplied. The driver
letter colon slash (e.g. c:/) at the start of the path is considered
invalid for a class path resource by URLClassPath.Loader resulting in an
IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
A workaround for this URLClassPath behaviour was added in a71c9b5d. It
was removed as part of reworking LaunchedURLClassLoader to use a
conventional delegation model in 87fe0b2a. It was then reinstated in
cc140b2c. This work around is undesirable as it causes
LaunchedURLClassLoader’s behaviour to diverge from URLClassLoader’s
behaviour (this is contrary to the comments in the test added in
a71c9b5d which incorrectly tests the two class loader with different
class paths. If the two class loaders are created with the same class
path then their behaviour is the same).
This commit updates SourceOptions to make its behaviour match its
javadoc so that a search of the class path is only performed if the
filename doesn’t exist on the filesystem. Furthermore, when running on
Windows, if the filename is an absolute path no further searching is
performed as the path cannot reliably be used to search the class path
due to the behaviour of URLClassPath.Loader when given a path that
is an absolute file path on Windows. This ensures that the user is
presented with an error message indicating that the file could not be
found.
Closes gh-5650
Previously, JarURLConnection would fail when created with a URL that
began with jar:file:// as the double-slash is not included in jarFile.getUrl().getFile().
This commit updates JarURLConnection to normalise the value return from
url.getFile() to remove a double-slash when present.
Fixes gh-5287
Closes gh-5289
Previously, JarLauncher considered any entry whose name began with
BOOT-INF/classes/ as being a nested entry. This was incorrect as it
meant that subdirectories of BOOT-INF/classes/ would be added to the
classpath rather than just BOOT-INF/classes/ itself.
This commit updates JarLauncher so that only directory entries with a
name equal to BOOT-INF/classes are used.
Closes gh-5610
Previously, if a JarFile was created from a directory nested inside
another jar file, it would look for the manifest in
pathFromRoot/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. This is incorrect as, unlike a
JarFile created from a jar file, the archives are one and the same
so the manifests should be too.
This commit updates JarFile so that its aware of how it was created
(direct from a file, from a nested directory, from a nested jar). If
it was created from a file or from a nested jar, it uses its manifest.
If it was created from a nested directory, it uses the manifest of the
root archive.
Closes gh-5609
Previously, if loader.path directly specified a jar file that contained
nested archives (.zip or .jar), launching would fail unless those
nested archives were uncompressed. However, if loader.path specified a
directory that contained such a jar file the launch would succeed. This
was because the nested archives within the jar were ignored.
This commit updates PropertiesLauncher so that its behaviour in the
scenarios described above is consistent by not looking for archives
nested with a jar that’s be specified on loader.path. The javadoc for
loader.path has also been updated to make it clear that loader.path
can points to directories or jar files, bringing it into line with
the reference guide.
Closes gh-3701
Following changes to LaunchedURLClassLoader made in 87fe0b2a, it is
no longer necessary for the launcher to load MainMethodRunner via
reflection as both the app class loader that the launcher URL class
loader share the same MainMethodRunner class.
This commit takes advantage of this by updating Launcher to instantiate
MainMethodRunner directly rather than via reflection, removing one
source of possible exceptions in the launcher.
As the MainMethodRunner is now loaded directly and its class is shared
between the two class loaders, there’s no longer a need for it to
implement Runnable. This allows it to throw Exception from its run
method, rather than having to wrap any Exception in a RuntimeException.
Lastly, rather than catching any exception thrown from the launch,
Launcher and its subclasses have been updated to allow this exception
to be thrown from the main method. This allows the Exception to reach
the JVM, to be processed by our registered uncaught exception handler,
and to trigger the JVM’s standard processing for exiting due to a
failure. This removes the need for the Launcher itself to call
System.exit(1) and ensures that the exception is only output to the
console if it hasn’t been registered as a logged exception.
Closes gh-5358
Previously, when defining a package for a class, LaunchedURLClassLoader
would use the manifest from the first location that contained the
required package. If the package was split across multiple locations,
this could lead to the manifest from a jar other than the one that
contains the class being used.
This commit updates LaunchedURLClassLoader so that it will use the
manifest of the jar file that contains the class which triggered the
definition of the package.
Closes gh-5485
LaunchedURLClassLoader preemptively defines the package for any
classes that it attempts to load so that the manifest from a nested
jar is correctly associated with the package. This can lead to a race
where the package is defined on two threads in parallel, resulting
in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
This problem was manifesting itself as a NoClassDefFoundError.
If the initialization of a class failed due to the above-described
IllegalArgumentException, subsequent attempts to use that class
would then fail with a NoClassDefFoundError.
This commit updates LaunchedURLClassLoader to catch the
IllegalArgumentException and then double-check that the package has
already been defined. This approach, including thrown an
AssertionError when the second check fails, is modelled on the
approach taken by URLClassLoader.
Closes gh-5464
Previously, the Launcher would call ex.printStackTrace for any
exception that was thrown when launching the application. This was
unnecessary as the stack trace should already have been logged by
the application when it failed to start.
This commit removes the call to ex.printStackTrace, thereby allowing
an exception to be logged only once or not at all after successful
failure analysis.
Closes gh-5358
Previously, JarURLConnection would corrupt a URL that contained a
mixture of encoded and unencoded double-byte characters. URLs that
only contained unencoded double-byte characters were not affected as
they are passed through as-is.
This commit updates JarURLConnection.JarEntryName to correctly handle
characters with a value that won't fit in a single signed byte (a
value greater than 127). Such characters are now URL encoded and then
written to the output stream as multiple bytes.
Closes gh-5194
When an application is run as an executable archive with nested jars,
the application's own classes need to be able to load classes from
within the nested jars. This means that the application's classes need
to be loaded by the same class loader as is used for the nested jars.
When an application is launched with java -jar the contents of the
jar are on the class path of the app class loader, which is the
parent of the LaunchedURLClassLoader that is used to load classes
from within the nested jars. If the root of the jar includes the
application's classes, they would be loaded by the app class loader
and, therefore, would not be able to load classes from within the
nested jars.
Previously, this problem was resolved by LaunchedURLClassLoader being
created with a copy of all of the app class laoder's URLs and by
using an unconventional delegation model that caused it to skip its
parent (the app class loader) and jump straight to its root class
loader. This ensured that the LaunchedURLClassLoader would load both
the application's own classes and those from within any nested jars.
Unfortunately, this unusual delegation model has proved to be
problematic. We have seen and worked around some problems with Java
Agents (see gh-4911 and gh-863), but there are others (see gh-4868)
that cannot be made to work with the current delegation model.
This commit reworks LaunchedURLClassLoader to use a conventional
delegate model with the app class loader as its parent. With this
change in place, the application's own classes need to be hidden
from the app class loader via some other means. This is now achieved
by packaging application classes in BOOT-INF/classes (and, for
symmetry, nested jars are now packaged in BOOT-INF/lib). Both the
JarLauncher and the PropertiesLauncher (which supports the executable
jar layout) have been updated to look for classes and nested jars in
these new locations.
Closes gh-4897
Fixes gh-4868
Previously, the Launcher was creating a new runner thread that would
call the application's main method. An exception thrown by this thread
is handled differently to one thrown by the JVM's main thread leading
to different exit behaviour. Furthermore, the separate thread isn't
actually necessary.
This commit removew the use of a separate runner thread from the
Launcher. This means that the JVM's exit behaviour will be consistent
and also removes the overhead of createing a starting an extra thread.
