Class Verifier

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.bcel.verifier.Verifier

    public class Verifier

extends Object

A Verifier instance is there to verify a class file according to The Java Virtual Machine Specification, 2nd Edition. Pass-3b-verification includes pass-3a-verification; pass-3a-verification includes pass-2-verification; pass-2-verification includes pass-1-verification. A Verifier creates PassVerifier instances to perform the actual verification. Verifier instances are usually generated by the VerifierFactory.

Method Summary
`VerificationResult` `doPass1()` Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.
`VerificationResult` `doPass2()` Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.
`VerificationResult` `doPass3a(int method_no)` Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.
`VerificationResult` `doPass3b(int method_no)` Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.
`void` `flush()` Forget everything known about the class file; that means, really start a new verification of a possibly different class file from BCEL's repository.
`String` `getClassName()` Returns the name of the class this verifier operates on.
`String[]` `getMessages()` This returns all the (warning) messages collected during verification.
`static void` `main(String[] args)` Verifies class files.

Method Detail

### doPass1

    public VerificationResult doPass1()

  Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.

### doPass2

    public VerificationResult doPass2()

  Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.

### doPass3a

    public VerificationResult doPass3a(int method_no)

  Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.

### doPass3b

    public VerificationResult doPass3b(int method_no)

  Returns the VerificationResult for the given pass.

### getClassName

    public final String getClassName()

  Returns the name of the class this verifier operates on. This is particularly interesting when this verifier was created recursively by another Verifier and you got a reference to this Verifier by the getVerifiers() method of the VerifierFactory.

    `VerifierFactory`

### flush

    public void flush()

  Forget everything known about the class file; that means, really start a new verification of a possibly different class file from BCEL's repository.

### getMessages

    public String[] getMessages()
                         throws ClassNotFoundException

  This returns all the (warning) messages collected during verification. A prefix shows from which verifying pass a message originates.

  Throws:
    `ClassNotFoundException`

### main

    public static void main(String[] args)

  Verifies class files. This is a simple demonstration of how the API of BCEL's class file verifier "JustIce" may be used. You should supply command-line arguments which are fully qualified namea of the classes to verify. These class files must be somewhere in your CLASSPATH (refer to Sun's documentation for questions about this) or you must have put the classes into the BCEL Repository yourself (via 'addClass(JavaClass)').
