Class ClassFileWriter

java.lang.Object
javassist.bytecode.ClassFileWriter
public class ClassFileWriter extends Object
A quick class-file writer. This is useful when a generated class file is simple and the code generation should be fast.

Example: 

ClassFileWriter cfw = new ClassFileWriter(ClassFile.JAVA_4, 0);
ConstPoolWriter cpw = cfw.getConstPool();

FieldWriter fw = cfw.getFieldWriter();
fw.add(AccessFlag.PUBLIC, "value", "I", null);
fw.add(AccessFlag.PUBLIC, "value2", "J", null);

int thisClass = cpw.addClassInfo("sample/Test");
int superClass = cpw.addClassInfo("java/lang/Object");

MethodWriter mw = cfw.getMethodWriter();

mw.begin(AccessFlag.PUBLIC, MethodInfo.nameInit, "()V", null, null);
mw.add(Opcode.ALOAD_0);
mw.add(Opcode.INVOKESPECIAL);
int signature = cpw.addNameAndTypeInfo(MethodInfo.nameInit, "()V");
mw.add16(cpw.addMethodrefInfo(superClass, signature));
mw.add(Opcode.RETURN);
mw.codeEnd(1, 1);
mw.end(null, null);

mw.begin(AccessFlag.PUBLIC, "one", "()I", null, null);
mw.add(Opcode.ICONST_1);
mw.add(Opcode.IRETURN);
mw.codeEnd(1, 1);
mw.end(null, null);

byte[] classfile = cfw.end(AccessFlag.PUBLIC, thisClass, superClass,
                           null, null);

The code above generates the following class: 

package sample;
public class Test {
    public int value;
    public long value2;
    public Test() { super(); }
    public one() { return 1; }
}
