The problem is to create a dynamic enhanced version of existing objects.
I cannot modify the object's Class. Instead I have to:
subclass it
wrap the existing object in the new Class
delegate all the original method calls to the wrapped object
implement all methods that are defined by another interface
The interface to add to existing objects is:
public interface EnhancedNode {
Node getNode();
void setNode(Node node);
Set getRules();
void setRules(Set rules);
Map getGroups();
void setGroups(Map groups);
}
With Byte Buddy I managed to subclass and to implement my interface. The problem is the delegation to the wrapped object. The only way to do this that I found is using reflection what is too slow (I have heavy load on the application and performance is critical).
So far my code is:
Class extends Node> proxyType = new ByteBuddy()
.subclass(node.getClass(), ConstructorStrategy.Default.IMITATE_SUPER_TYPE_PUBLIC)
.method(anyOf(finalNode.getClass().getMethods())).intercept(MethodDelegation.to(NodeInterceptor.class))
.defineField("node", Node.class, Visibility.PRIVATE)
.implement(EnhancedNode.class).intercept(FieldAccessor.ofBeanProperty())
.defineField("groups", Map.class, Visibility.PRIVATE)
.implement(EnhancedNode.class).intercept(FieldAccessor.ofBeanProperty())
.defineField("rules", Set.class, Visibility.PRIVATE)
.implement(EnhancedNode.class).intercept(FieldAccessor.ofBeanProperty())
.make()
.load(getClass().getClassLoader(), ClassLoadingStrategy.Default.WRAPPER)
.getLoaded();
enhancedClass = (Class) proxyType;
EnhancedNode enhancedNode = (EnhancedNode) enhancedClass.newInstance();
enhancedNode.setNode(node);
where Node is the object to subclass/wrap. The NodeInterceptor forwards the invoked methods to the getNode property.
Here the code of the NodeInterceptor:
public class NodeInterceptor {
@RuntimeType
public static Object intercept(@Origin Method method,
@This EnhancedNode proxy,
@AllArguments Object[] arguments)
throws Exception {
Node node = proxy.getNode();
Object res;
if (node != null) {
res = method.invoke(method.getDeclaringClass().cast(node), arguments);
} else {
res = null;
}
return res;
}
}
Everything is working but the intercept method is too slow, I'm planning to use ASM directly to add the implementation of every method of Node but I hope there is a simpler way using Byte Buddy.

You probably want to use a Pipe rather than the reflection API:
public class NodeInterceptor {
@RuntimeType
public static Object intercept(@Pipe Function pipe,
@FieldValue("node") Node proxy) throws Exception {
return proxy != null
? pipe.apply(proxy);
: null;
}
}
In order to use a pipe, you first need to install it. If you have Java 8 available, you can use java.util.Function. Otherwise, simply define some type:
interface Function { S apply(T t); }
yourself. The name of the type and the method are irrelevant. The install the type:
MethodDelegation.to(NodeInterceptor.class)
.appendParameterBinder(Pipe.Binder.install(Function.class));
Are you however sure that the reflection part is the critical point of your application's performance problems? Are you caching the generated classes correctly and is your cache working efficiently? The reflection API is faster than its reputation, especially since use Byte Buddy tends to imply monomorphic call sites.
Finally, some general feedback. You are calling
.implement(EnhancedNode.class).intercept(FieldAccessor.ofBeanProperty())
multiple times. This has no effect. Also, method.getDeclaringClass().cast(node) is not necessary. The reflection API does the cast for you.
