Direct Known Subclasses:

DefaultAdvice

public abstract class HotSpotAdvice
extends java.lang.Object

HotSpotAdvice is an abstract base class for all of the advises used by HotSpotInstrumentor.

A HotSpotInstrumentor locates HotSpots according to its configuration. A HotSpot migh be an invocation, for example. Once hotspot is found HotSpotInstrumentor calls HotSpotAdvice.advice() method.

Body of the HotSpotAdvice.advice() is then copied into instrumented class.

Method Detail

advice

public abstract void advice()

Each extending class must provide advice() method. Body of this method is copied into instrumented class.

The exact location, where method body gets copied into, depends how developer writes the method body.

A call to doHotSpot() in method body, is a tagging method call indicating that current hotspot should be executed.

For example, of we have a method foo()...

 public void foo() {
    bar.doSomeThing();
 }
 

...and HotSpotAdvisor.advice():

 public void advice() {
    long l1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    doHotSpot();
    long l2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("It took " + (l2-l1) + " ms");
 }
 

...then it would result in instrumented foo() method like

 public void foo() {
    long l1 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    bar.doSomething();
    long l2 = System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("It took " + (l2-l1) + " ms");
 }

 If a developer does not call doHotSpot() method in
 implementation of advice() method, corresponding hotspot
 gets replaced from instrumented class.
