OQL allows to filter/select information wanted from Java heap. While pre-defined queries such as "show all instances of class X" are already supported by HAT, OQL adds more flexibility. OQL is based on JavaScript expression language. </p> <p> OQL query is of the form <pre> <code> <span class="key">select</span> <JavaScript expression to select> [ <span class="key">from</span> [<span class="key">instanceof</span>] <class name> <identifier> [ <span class="key">where</span> <JavaScript boolean expression to filter> ] ] </code> </pre> where class name is fully qualified Java class name (example: java.net.URL) or array class name. [C is char array name, [Ljava.io.File; is name of java.io.File[] and so on. Note that fully qualified class name does not always uniquely identify a Java class at runtime. There may be more than one Java class with the same name but loaded by different loaders. So, class name is permitted to be id string of the class object. If <span class="key">instanceof</span> keyword is used, subtype objects are selected. If this keyword is not specified, only the instances of exact class specified are selected. Both <span class="key">from</span> and <span class="key">where</span> clauses are optional. </p> <p> In <span class="key">select</span> and (optional) <span class="key">where</span> clauses, the expression used in JavaScript expression. Java heap objects are wrapped as convenient script objects so that fields may be accessed in natural syntax. For example, Java fields can be accessed with obj.field_name syntax and array elements can be accessed with array[index] syntax. Each Java object selected is bound to a JavaScript variable of the identifier name specified in <span class="key">from</span> clause. </p> <h2>OQL Examples</h2> <ul> <li>select all Strings of length 100 or more <pre> <code> select s from java.lang.String s where s.value.length >= 100 </code> </pre> <li>select all int arrays of length 256 or more <pre> <code> select a from [I a where a.length >= 256 </code> </pre> <li>show content of Strings that match a regular expression <pre> <code> select s.value.toString() from java.lang.String s where /java/.test(s.value.toString()) </code> </pre> <li>show path value of all File objects <pre> <code</b> select file.path.value.toString() from java.io.File file </code> </pre> <li>show names of all ClassLoader classes <pre> <code> select <a href="#classof">classof</a>(cl).name from instanceof java.lang.ClassLoader cl </code> </pre> <li>show instances of the Class identified by given id string <pre> <code> select o from instanceof 0xd404b198 o </code> </pre> Note that 0xd404b198 is id of a Class (in a session). This is found by looking at the id shown in that class's page. </ul> <h2>OQL built-in objects, functions</h2> <h3>heap object</h3> The <b>heap</b> built-in object supports the following methods: <ul> <li><b>heap.forEachClass</b> -- calls a callback function for each Java Class <pre> <code> heap.forEachClass(callback); </code> </pre> <li><b>heap.forEachObject</b> -- calls a callback function for each Java object <pre> <code> heap.forEachObject(callback, clazz, includeSubtypes); </code> </pre> <code>clazz</code> is the class whose instances are selected.

Default value of this flag is true. <a name="findClass"></a> <li><b>heap.findClass</b> -- finds Java Class of given name <pre> <code> heap.findClass(className); </code> </pre> where <code>className</code> is name of the class to find. The resulting Class object has following properties: <ul> <li>name - name of the class. <li>superclass - Class object for super class (or null if java.lang.Object). <li>statics - name, value pairs for static fields of the Class. <li>fields - array of field objects. field object has name, signature properties. <li>loader - ClassLoader object that loaded this class. <li>signers - signers that signed this class. <li>protectionDomain - protection domain to which this class belongs. </ul> Class objects have the following methods: <ul> <li>isSubclassOf - tests whether given class is direct or indirect subclass of this class or not. <li>isSuperclassOf - tests whether given Class is direct or indirect superclass of this class or not. <li>subclasses - returns array of direct and indirect subclasses. <li>superclasses - returns array of direct and indirect superclasses. </ul> <a name="findObject"></a> <li><b>heap.findObject</b> -- finds object from given object id <pre> <code> heap.findObject(stringIdOfObject); </code> </pre> <a name="classes"></a> <li><b>heap.classes</b> -- returns an enumeration of all Java classes <a name="objects"></a> <li><b>heap.objects</b> -- returns an enumeration of Java objects <pre> <code> heap.objects(clazz, [includeSubtypes], [filter]) </code> </pre> <code>clazz</code> is the class whose instances are selected.

Note that more than one String instance can share the same char[] for the content. <pre> <code> // number of unique char[] instances referenced from any String select count(unique(map(heap.objects('java.lang.String'), 'it.value'))) // total number of Strings select count(heap.objects('java.lang.String')) </code> </pre> <h3>More complex examples</h3> <h4>Print histogram of each class loader and number of classes loaded by it</h4> <pre> <code> select <a href="#map">map</a>(<a href="#sort">sort</a>(map(heap.objects('java.lang.ClassLoader'), '{ loader: it, count: it.classes.elementCount }'), 'lhs.count < rhs.count'), 'toHtml(it) + "<br>"') </code> </pre> <p> The above query uses the fact that, <b>java.lang.ClassLoader</b> has a private field called <b>classes</b> of type <b>java.util.Vector</b> and Vector has a private field named <b>elementCount</b> that is number of elements in the vector. We select multiple values (loader, count) using JavaScript object literal and map function. We sort the result by count (i.e., number of classes loaded) using sort function with comparison expression. </p> <h4>Show parent-child chain for each class loader instance</h4> <pre> <code> select <a href="#map">map</a>(heap.objects('java.lang.ClassLoader'), function (it) { var res = ''; while (it != null) { res += toHtml(it) + "->"; it = it.parent; } res += "null"; return res + "<br>"; }) </code> </pre> <p> Note that we use <b>parent</b> field of <b>java.lang.ClassLoader</b> class and walk until parent is null using the callback function to map call. </p> <h4>Printing value of all System properties</h4> <pre> <code> select <a href="#map">map</a>(<a href="#filter">filter(<a href="#findClass">heap.findClass</a>('java.lang.System').statics.props.table, 'it != null'), function (it) { var res = ""; while (it != null) { res += it.key.value.toString() + '=' + it.value.value.toString() + '<br>'; it = it.next; } return res; }); </code> </pre> <p> The above query uses the following facts: <ul> <li>java.lang.System has static field by name 'props' of type java.util.Properties. <li>java.util.Properties has field by 'table' of type java.util.Hashtable$Entry (this field is inherited from java.util.Hashtable). This is the hashtable buckets array. <li>java.util.Hashtable$Entry has 'key', 'value' and 'next' fields. Each entry points the next entry (or null) in the same hashtable bucket. <li>java.lang.String class has 'value' field of type char[]. </ul> <p> <b>Note that this query (and many other queries) may not be stable - because private fields of Java platform classes may be modified/removed without any notification! (implementation detail)</b>. But, using such queries on user classes may be safe - given that user has the control over the classes. </p> </body> </html>
