Class Submit


  • public class Submit
    extends Object
    A Java API that can be used to submit requests to a remote Byteman agent. This also includes a main routine for use as a command-line utility. This object provides a means by which you communicate with the Byteman agent at runtime allowing loading, reloading, unloading of rules and listing of the current rule set and any successful or failed attempts to inject, parse and typecheck the rules. Note that this class is completely standalone and has no dependencies on any other Byteman class. It can be shipped alone in a client jar to be used as a very small app.

      • deleteAllRules

        public String deleteAllRules()
                              throws Exception
        Tells the Byteman agent to delete all rules. This will effectively revert the Byteman's VM to its original state; that is, no Byteman injected byte-code will be invoked.

        Throws:
        Exception - if the request failed

                                       throws Exception
        Gets all deployed rules from the agent just as listAllRules(), but will return the rules organized by script (i.e. rule file). Each "script", or rule file, has a set of rules associated with it.
        Returns:
        all the scripts deployed in the Byteman agent the keys are the script names (typically this is the filenames where the rule definitions were found); the values are the rule definitions in the scripts
        Throws:

        Given the content of a script (which will be one or more rule definitions), this will return each rule definition as an individual string within the returned list. The returned list will be ordered - that is, the first rule in the list is the first rule encountered in the script. One usage of this method is to pass in map values from the results of getAllScripts() in case you need the scripts' individual rules.
        Parameters:
        scriptContent - the actual content of a script (i.e. the rule definitions)
        Returns:
        all the rule definitions found in the given script
        Throws:
        Exception - if an string processing error occurs

                                 throws Exception

        Parameters:
        ruleDefinition - the actual content of an individual rule
        Returns:
        the name of the given rule, or null if it could not be determined

        Deploys rules into Byteman, where the rule definitions are found in the local files found at the given paths. The rule definitions found in the files are actually passed down directly to Byteman, not the file paths themselves. Therefore, these files must exist on the machine where this client is running (i.e. the files are not loaded directly by the Byteman agent).

        Deletes rules from Byteman, where the rule definitions are found in the local files found at the given paths. After this method is done, the given rules will no longer be processed by Byteman. The rule definitions found in the files are actually passed down directly to Byteman, not the file paths themselves.
