It’s been a long time since I wrote a blog, so today we’re going to talk about Java program breakpoint debugging. The main reason for writing this topic is that companies or individuals around are all attached to developing APAAS platform. Simply speaking, APAAS platform is a zero-code or low-code configuration platform, through which web and mobile codes can be configured relatively quickly. When I was in 2015, I also made such a configuration platform with a front-end friend in order to facilitate rapid outsourcing. I worked for more than two years, and then I worked on apaAS platform in a company for more than one year. I can say THAT I have deep experience in this. First zero code is only suitable for children’s toys in the field of programming obviously, think zero code can pack all of them, wasn’t much of a personal guess either code, or being brainwashed, object-oriented if all systems in the world of business is simply to invoke methods through a variety of objects, and then through a certain logical combination, So does with zero code, but the specific object logic isn’t more complex process oriented code, cycle a few times, several layers of nested loops, loop in a variety of jump, pass a number of local variables, jump out of several layers of circulation and so on, so that how to use the zero code logic pictures come out? I think even if I could draw it, it would be a lot harder than just lifting the code. Compared to low code is more reliable, low code is to write code, if you want to write code without providing debugging, is that a rogue?
In fact, when I was in 2015, I also encountered the embarrassment of needing to provide debugging functions on the configuration platform. At that time, I searched online, but could not find the breakpoint debugging code that could be directly used. Therefore, I designed a poor explanatory language by myself, which can be found from the previous blog. Using AOP + method interceptor +stack to implement simple breakpoint debugging. However, the implementation has always felt very poor. Just now, I decided to study Java breakpoint debugging, and found the next batch of JDI implementations. But basically it’s all about a bunch of theories, and then a HelloWord example, and then a breakpoint, and then a breakpoint event, and then a breakpoint event, and then a breakpoint event, and then a log, and then nothing. I was thinking if you want to print logs using AOP isn’t it fragrant? What about debugging? Go one step further: debug multithreaded applications using JDI, click on mindless consumption events, and print a bunch of logs. I can’t think of a breakpoint debugging program that I can use directly on the Internet after so many years, but I also want to thank you, if you already have, then I don’t have anything to do with this article. In view of a pile of JDI theoretical articles on the Internet, in order to write only the original works that can not be found on the Internet, this article decided not to talk about the theory, there are a lot of theory baidu, search “JDI debugging”.
Java.tools.jar (JDK) has implemented a set of debug JDI API, also known as Java debug interface, but it is really a very time to use, in order to increase the interest of you to demonstrate the effect of breakpoint debugging, next to enter my favorite post code link, first prepare the following debug services
1 package com.rdpaas.debugger.test.controller; 2 3 import com.rdpaas.debugger.test.bean.Person; 4 import com.rdpaas.debugger.test.service.TestService; 5 import com.rdpaas.debugger.test.utils.MyList; 6 import com.rdpaas.debugger.test.utils.MyMap; 7 import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired; 8 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestMapping; 9 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RequestParam; 10 import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.RestController; 11 12 import java.util.Arrays; 17 @author rongdi 17 * @date 2021/1/24 18 */ 19 @restController 20 public class TestController { 21 22 @Autowired 23 private TestService testService; 24 25 private Integer flag = 1; 26 27 @RequestMapping("/test") 28 public Person test(@RequestParam String name) throws Exception { 29 Person ret = testService.getPerson(name); 30 MyList list1 = new MyList(); 31 list1. AddAll (Arrays. AsList (1, 2, 3)); 32 MyList list2 = new MyList(); 33 list2.add(new Person(" 三",20)); 34 MyMap map1 = new MyMap(); 35 map1. Put ("name"," xiao Ming "); 36 MyMap map2 = new MyMap(); Map2. Put ("person",new person ("person", 30)); 38 return ret; 39} 40 41 42}Copy the code

Let's start by using the debug interface to break line 29 of the TestController classCopy the code
The breakpoint interface blocks and requests the breakpoint service
The interface being debugged is blocked, and the breakpoint interface has returned
Finally, we finish debugging, and the debugged service returns with success
Rely on the following
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId> < artifactId > JDK.

Okay, so those of you who are interested should be able to stick with it. Remote debugging is different from native debugging of a JVM. JDI remote debugging returns only mirror objects, even the simplest generic data types, which makes it much more difficult to handle data, especially collections and maps, which we’ll see later.
First we need to prepare a program to be debugged, whether it is a Web service or a local program, but be sure to add the following startup parameters, in order to configure the various parameters needed for debugging
-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=5000
Copy the code
As shown above, a socket port 5000 is opened for remote debugging. The connection code is as follows
/** * Returns a virtual host object, * @param hostname Specifies the host address of the program to be debugged. * @param port Specifies the backdoor debugging port opened by the debugger. * @return * @throws Exception */ private VirtualMachine connJVM(String hostname, Integer port) throws Exception { VirtualMachineManager vmm = Bootstrap.virtualMachineManager(); List<AttachingConnector> connectors = vmm.attachingConnectors(); SocketAttachingConnector sac = null; for(AttachingConnector ac:connectors) { if(ac instanceof SocketAttachingConnector) { sac = (SocketAttachingConnector) ac; }} if(sac == null) {throw new Exception(" SocketAttachingConnector not found "); } Map<String, Connector.Argument> arguments = sac.defaultArguments(); arguments.get("hostname").setValue(hostname); arguments.get("port").setValue(String.valueOf(port)); return sac.attach(arguments); }Copy the code
Ok, I admit it’s easier to post the code and add a detailed comment to it. It feels awkward to post the code and explain it outside. Here’s the code for debugging:
/**

The above code, in fact, all my thoughts and difficulties when WRITING this code are all in the comments. Personally, I feel that the API provided by JDI is really difficult to use, requiring a lot of patience to break points and try API after API, and because I did not find the source code of Tools. jar, it is more difficult to use.
Finally, the relevant dependencies are as follows
<dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId> <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-test</artifactId> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>jdk.tools</groupId> < artifactId > JDK.

One class that does it all, that’s my favorite way to do it, and some people might disagree with that and have some fancy design patterns that are very deep in invocation, and I would say, if the JVM doesn’t have optimizations like method inlining, The vast majority of code on the market has no performance, or else why tail-recursive optimization optimizes recursion into a loop. Each call to a method involves new method stack, save the local variables, destroy method such as stack cumbersome process, so every method call comes at a price, as a developer, I’ve always thought unnecessary don’t optimize the structure, the straight is the easiest way to understand the structure of optimizing structure does not bring performance boost, optimization algorithm is, The code with the most extreme performance is often the simplest.
Of course you need to use some design patterns for extensibility, but you need to use them where you need to extend. Big projects, big tools, complex design at the beginning, what are you going to extend, and what are the scalability bottlenecks. Many open source projects often written in fact is not convenient to let others understand, literally a call to all have a double-digit call depth, this is a technique or deliberately increase technical barriers, if I write a method has been to call, call more than 20 method, are you willing to bite the bullet and see or decisive give up? Some of the big factory code is not good to look for a job, is really no courage to look. Some open source software is not because people don’t want to participate in it, but because your code is complicated enough and the technology is great enough, few people can understand it, hehe. The next blog continues to achieve breakpoint debugging single step debugging related functions, interested in the public can pay attention to the same name, convenient real-time push updates and access to the complete source code.
