I have a Ruby script that I'd like to run at the startup of my Java program.
When you tell the ScriptEngine to evaluate the code for the first time, it takes a while. I'm under the impression that the reason it takes this long is because it first needs to compile the code, right?
I found that you can compile Ruby code, and then evaluate it later. The evaluation itself is fast - the compilation part is the slow one. Here I am compiling:
jruby = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("jruby");
Compilable compilingEngine = (Compilable)jruby;
String code = "print 'HELLO!'";
CompiledScript script;
script = compilingEngine.compile(code);
This snippet is what takes a while. Later when you evaluate it, it is fine.
So of course, I was wondering if it would be possible to "save" this compiled code into a file, so in the future I can "load" it and just execute it without compiling again.
As others have said, this is not possible with CompiledScript. However, with JRuby you have another option. You can use the command line tool jrubyc to compile a Ruby script to Java bytecode like so:
jrubyc <scriptname.rb>
This will produce a class file named scriptname.class. You can run this class from the command line as if it were a normal class with a main(String[] argv) method (note: the jruby runtime needs to be in the classpath) and you can of course load it into your application at runtime.
You can find more details on the output of jrubyc here: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/JRubyCompiler#methods-in-output-class-file
According to this, no.
"Unfortunately, compiled scripts are not, by default, serializable, so they can't be pre-compiled as part of a deployment process, so compilation should be applied at runtime when you know it makes sense."
I think some really easy cache will solve your problem:
class CompiledScriptCache {
static {
CompiledScriptCache INSTANCE = new CompiledScritCache();
}
publich static CompiledScriptCache get(){
retrun INSTANCE;
};
List<CompiledScript> scripts = new ArrayList<>();
public CompiledScript get(int id){
return scripts.get(id);
}
public int add(String code){
ScriptEngine jruby = new ScriptEngineManager().getEngineByName("jruby");
Compilable compilingEngine = (Compilable)jruby;
CompiledScript script;
script = compilingEngine.compile(code);
scripts.add(script);
return scripts.size()-1;
}
}
update
I thought this question was about avoiding to comile the source more than once.
Only other approach I could imagine is to create Java-Classes and make a cross-compile:

From this answer, I learnt that, every Groovy script compiles to a class that extends groovy.lang.Script class
Below is a test groovy script written for Jenkins pipeline in Jenkins editor.
node('worker_node'){
print "***1. DRY principle***"
def list1 = [1,2,3,4]
def list2 = [10,20,30,40]
def factor = 2
def applyFactor = {e -> e * factor}
print(list1.each(applyFactor))
print(list2.each(applyFactor))
print "***2. Higher order function***"
def foo = { value, f -> f(value *2) }
foo(3, {print "Value is $it"})
foo(3){
print "Value is $it"
}
}
How to compile this groovy script to see the class generated(source code)?
The class generated is bytecode, not source code. The source code is the Groovy script.
If you want to see something similar to what the equivalent Java source code would look like, use groovyc to compile the script as usual, and then use a Java decompiler to produce Java source (this question's answers lists a few).
That's subject to the usual caveats on decompiled code, of course. High-level information is lost in the process of compiling. Decompilers have to guess a bit to figure out the best way to represent what might have been in the original source. For instance, what was a for loop in the original code may end up being decompiled as a while loop instead.
groovy in jenkins pipeline is a Domain Specific Language.
It's not a plain groovy.
However if you remove node(){ } then it seems to be groovy in your case.
and you can run it in groovyconsole or compile to class with groovyc
just download a stable groovy binary and extract it.
if you have java7 or java8 on your computer - you can run groovyconsole and try your code there.
with Ctrl+T you can see the actual class code generated for your script.
Has anyone attempted to "link" in the Rascal command line jar in a java executable and call REPL commands from this java executable?
I found a similar question on stackoverflow (Running a Rascal program from outside the REPL), but that doesn't go into details unfortunately.
I also checked the Rascal tutor site, but couldn't find any examples on how to do this. Tijs told me that it's something along the lines of "instantiate an interpreter and then call the import() function, after which the call() function can be called to inject REPL commands).
Is there any example code on how to do, e.g. the following from the tutor site on the REPL but from a java programming context instead of on the command line:
rascal>import demo::lang::Exp::Concrete::NoLayout::Syntax;
ok
rascal>import ParseTree;
ok
rascal>parse(#Exp, "2+3");
sort("Exp"): `2+3`
The following would do the trick; a utility class for the same can be found in rascal/src/org/rascalmpl/interpreter/JavaToRascal.java:
GlobalEnvironment heap = new GlobalEnvironment();
IValueFactory vf = ValueFactoryFactory.getValueFactory();
TypeFactory TF = TypeFactory.getInstance();
IRascalMonitor mon = new NullRascalMonitor();
Evaluator eval = new Evaluator(vf, new PrintWriter(System.err), new PrintWriter(System.out), new ModuleEnvironment(ModuleEnvironment.SHELL_MODULE, heap), heap);
eval.doImport(mon, "demo::lang::Exp::Concrete::NoLayout::Syntax");
eval.doImport(mon, "ParseTree");
eval.eval(mon, "parse(#Exp, \"2+3\");", URIUtil.rootLocation("unknown"));
There is also more efficient ways of interacting with the evaluator, via the pdb.values IValue interfaces to build data and ICalleableValue to call Rascal functions. You can use the above heap object to query its environments to get references to functions and you can use the low level pdb.values API to construct values to pass to these functions.
Caveat emptor: this code is "internal" API with no guarantee for backward compatibility. I can guarantee that something like this will always be possible.
I got a little project where I have to compute a list. The computation depends on serveal factors.
The point is that these factors change from time to time and the user should be allowed to change this by it's self.
Up to now, the factors are hard-coded and no changes can be done without recompiling the code.
At the moment the code looks like this:
if (someStatement.equals("someString")) {
computedList.remove("something");
}
My idea is to make an editable and human readable textfile, configfile, etc. which is loaded at runtime/ at startup? This file should hold the java code from above.
Any ideas how to do that? Please note: The targeted PCs do not have the JDK installed, only an JRE.
An effective way of going about this is using a static initializer. Static Block in Java A good and concise explanation can be found under this link.
One option here that would allow this would be to use User Input Dialogs from the swing API - then you could store the users answer's in variables and export them to a text file/config file, or just use them right in the program without saving them. You would just have the input dialogs pop up at the very beginning of the program before anything else happens, and then the program would run based off those responses.
You could use Javascript for the configuration file language, instead of java. Java 7 SE and later includes a javascript interpreter that you can call from Java. it's not difficult to use, and you can inject java objects into the javascript environment.
Basically, you'd create a Javascript environment, insert the java objects into it which the config file is expected to configure, and then run the config file as javascript.
Okay, here we go... I found an quite simple solution for my problem.
I am using Janino by Codehaus (Link). This library has an integrated Java compiler and seems to work like the JavaCompiler class in Java 7.
BUT without having the JDK to be installed.
Through Janino you can load and compile *.java files(which are human readable) at runtime, which was exactly what I needed.
I think the examples and code-snippets on their homepage are just painful, so here's my own implementation:
Step one is to implement an interface with the same methods your Java file has which is loaded at runtime:
public interface ZuordnungInterface {
public ArrayList<String> Zuordnung(ArrayList<String> rawList);}
Then you call the Janino classloader when you need the class:
File janinoSourceDir = new File(PATH_TO_JAVAFILE);
File[] srcDir = new File[] { janinoSourceDir };
String encoding = null;
ClassLoader parentClassLoader = this.getClass().getClassLoader();
ClassLoader cl = new JavaSourceClassLoader(parentClassLoader, srcDir,
encoding);
And create an new instance
ZuordnungsInterface myZuordnung = (ZuordnungInterface) cl.loadClass("zuordnung")
.newInstance();
Note: The class which is loaded is named zuordnung.java, so there is no extension needed in the call cl.loadClass("zuordnung").
And finaly the class I want to load and compile at runtime of my program, which can be located wherever you want it to be (PATH_TO_JAVAFILE):
public class zuordnung implements ZuordnungInterface {
public ArrayList<String> Zuordnung(ArrayList<String> rawList){
ArrayList<String> computedList = (ArrayList<String>) rawList.clone();
if (Model.getSomeString().equals("Some other string")) {
computedList.add("Yeah, I loaded an external Java class");
}
return computedList;
}}
That's it. Hope it helps others with similar problems!
OK, again having some problems with caliper.
I am now running on Linux, trying to use the beta snapshot. I am attempting to run Google's caliper via commandline using just the jar. (Beta snapshot)
I do not have access to maven on this machine, and installing it is out of the question. I would just like to use a jar and, maybe once this is working, I can write up a script or something.
Here is what I am doing:
1. Using small example Benchmark:
import com.google.caliper.Benchmark;
public class Tutorial {
public static class Benchmark1 {
#Benchmark void timeNanoTime(int reps) {
for (int i = 0; i < reps; i++) {
System.nanoTime();
}
}
}
}
2. Compile with javac -cp caliper-1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT-all.jar Tutorial.java
3. (Attempt to) run with
java -cp caliper-1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT-all.jar com.google.caliper.runner.CaliperMain Tutorial.Benchmark1, receive message Benchmark class not found: Tutorial.Benchmark1.
I've tried to work this out from bits and pieces of information from various sources but I am really having a heck of a time with this. I would appreciate any input.
I believe you really need no maven, this should work.
Your own class doesn't get found and I think it's a problem of your classpath. As they're usually more problem with nested classes try simply
java -cp caliper-1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT-all.jar com.google.caliper.runner.CaliperMain Tutorial
If the message changes to something like "class contains no benchmarks", then you'll know more. If you insists on using nested class, you may need to call Tutorial$Benchmark1 (unprobable, but possible; java class naming is sick).
Please try also
java -cp caliper-1.0-beta-SNAPSHOT-all.jar Tutorial.Benchmark1
to see if your class lies on the classpath (the message should change to something like "no main method").

Is there a way in using externally stored sourcecode and loading it into a Java programm, so that it can be used by it?
I would like to have a program that can be altered without editing the complete source code and that this is even possible without compiling this every time. Another advantage is, that I can change parts of the code like I want.
Of course I have to have interfaces so that it is possible to send data into this and getting it back into the fixed source program again.
And of course it should be faster than a pure interpreting system.
So is there a way in doing this like an additional compiling of these external source code parts and a start of the programm after this is done?
Thank you in advance, Andreas :)
You need the javax.tools API for this. Thus, you need to have at least the JDK installed to get it to work (and let your IDE point to it instead of the JRE). Here's a basic kickoff example (without proper exception and encoding handling just to make the basic example less opaque, cough):
public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
String source = "public class Test { static { System.out.println(\"test\"); } }";
File root = new File("/test");
File sourceFile = new File(root, "Test.java");
Writer writer = new FileWriter(sourceFile);
writer.write(source);
writer.close();
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
compiler.run(null, null, null, sourceFile.getPath());
URLClassLoader classLoader = URLClassLoader.newInstance(new URL[] { root.toURI().toURL() });
Class<?> cls = Class.forName("Test", true, classLoader);
}
This should print test in stdout, as done by the static initializer in the test source code. Further use would be more easy if those classes implements a certain interface which is already in the classpath. Otherwise you need to involve the Reflection API to access and invoke the methods/fields.
In Java 6 or later, you can get access to the compiler through the javax.tools package. ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() will get you a javax.tools.JavaCompiler, which you can configure to compile your source. If you are using earlier versions of Java, you can still get at it through the internal com.sun.tools.javac.Main interface, although it's a lot less flexible.
Java6 has a scripting API. I've used it with Javascript, but I believe you can have it compile external Java code as well.
