I'm trying to dynamically create a method reference of type BiConsumer through LambdaMetafactory. I was trying to apply two approaches found on https://www.cuba-platform.com/blog/think-twice-before-using-reflection/ - createVoidHandlerLambda and here Create BiConsumer as Field setter without reflection the Holger's answer.
However in both cases I'm having below error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.AbstractMethodError: Receiver class org.home.ref.App$$Lambda$15/0x0000000800066040 does not define or inherit an implementation of the resolved method abstract accept(Ljava/lang/Object;Ljava/lang/Object;)V of interface java.util.function.BiConsumer.
at org.home.ref.App.main(App.java:20)
My code is something like this:
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Throwable {
MyClass myClass = new MyClass();
BiConsumer<MyClass, Boolean> setValid = MyClass::setValid;
setValid.accept(myClass, true);
BiConsumer<MyClass, Boolean> mappingMethodReferences = createHandlerLambda(MyClass.class);
mappingMethodReferences.accept(myClass, true);
}
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static BiConsumer<MyClass, Boolean> createHandlerLambda(Class<?> classType) throws Throwable {
Method method = classType.getMethod("setValid", boolean.class);
MethodHandles.Lookup caller = MethodHandles.lookup();
CallSite site = LambdaMetafactory.metafactory(caller,
"accept",
MethodType.methodType(BiConsumer.class),
MethodType.methodType(void.class, MyClass.class, boolean.class),
caller.findVirtual(classType, method.getName(),
MethodType.methodType(void.class, method.getParameterTypes()[0])),
MethodType.methodType(void.class, classType, method.getParameterTypes()[0]));
MethodHandle factory = site.getTarget();
return (BiConsumer<MyClass, Boolean>) factory.invoke();
}
public static <C, V> BiConsumer<C, V> createSetter(Class<?> classType) throws Throwable {
Field field = classType.getDeclaredField("valid");
MethodHandles.Lookup lookup = MethodHandles.lookup();
final MethodHandle setter = lookup.unreflectSetter(field);
final CallSite site = LambdaMetafactory.metafactory(lookup,
"accept", MethodType.methodType(BiConsumer.class, MethodHandle.class),
setter.type().erase(), MethodHandles.exactInvoker(setter.type()), setter.type());
return (BiConsumer<C, V>)site.getTarget().invokeExact(setter);
}
}
Where MyClass looks like this:
public class MyClass {
public boolean valid;
public void setValid(boolean valid) {
this.valid = valid;
System.out.println("Called setValid");
}
}
I will appreciate for help with this one.
EDIT #1. After consulting @Holger I've modified createSetter method to:
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
public static <C, V> BiConsumer<C, V> createSetter(Class<?> classType) throws Throwable {
Field field = classType.getDeclaredField("valid");
MethodHandles.Lookup lookup = MethodHandles.lookup();
final MethodHandle setter = lookup.unreflectSetter(field);
MethodType type = setter.type();
if(field.getType().isPrimitive())
type = type.wrap().changeReturnType(void.class);
final CallSite site = LambdaMetafactory.metafactory(lookup,
"accept", MethodType.methodType(BiConsumer.class, MethodHandle.class),
type.erase(), MethodHandles.exactInvoker(setter.type()), type);
return (BiConsumer<C, V>)site.getTarget().invokeExact(setter);
}
Now this method does not throw the initial Exception althoug it seems that calling accept on this method reference has no effect. I do not see "Called setValid" in logs for this call. Only for MyClass::setValid;
