[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBAOP-600) JRockitPluggableClassPreProcessor prevents jvmti agents from working with jrockit

JRockitPluggableClassPreProcessor prevents jvmti agents from working with jrockit --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAOP-600 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAOP-600 Project: JBoss AOP Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: Aspect Library Affects Versions: 2.0.0.CR12 Reporter: Erich Georg Hochmuth Assigned To: Flavia Rainone Fix For: 2.0.0.GA Attachments: JRockitClassPreProcessor.java, JRockitPluggableClassPreProcessor.java Original Estimate: 10 minutes Remaining Estimate: 10 minutes The preProcess method should return the original bytecode if the class wasn't modified, but JRockitPluggableClassPreProcessor returns null in this case. When a jvmti agent is used with jrockit (and uses the ClassFileLoadHook to transform classes), the jvmti agent is called first to transform this class. The preProcess method is then called with the jvmti transformed bytecode. If the preProcess method returns null, the jvmti transformed bytecode is dismissed too. It's bad error handling in the jrockit vm, but a bug of the JRockitPluggableClassPreProcessor.
