The Java Debugger 5 JVM MyApp Debugger CLI
JPDA - Java Platform Debugging Architecture The Java Platform Debugger
Architecture (JPDA) consists of three interfaces designed for use by debuggers in development environments for desktop systems. - Oracle Documentation 6
JPDA - Java Platform Debugging Architecture • JDI - Java
Debug Interface • JDWP - Java Debug Wire Protocol • JVMTI - Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface 7
JDI - Java Debug Interface • High level Java API
• Inspect & Control • Connect remotely 8
JDI - Java Debug Interface • Add breakpoint ◦ createBreakpointRequest
• Collect data ◦ visibleVariables ◦ getArgumentValues ◦ frames • Continue program ◦ resume 9
Using JDI • No availability during collection • Zero control
or visibility • Easy to make mistakes • Single instance debugging 10
JPDA - Java Platform Debugging Architecture • JDI - Java
Debug Interface • JDWP - Java Debug Wire Protocol • JVMTI - Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface 11
JDWP - Java Debug Wire Protocol • A protocol •
Used for communication between a debugger and the JVM which it debugs 12 JVM MyApp Debugger CLI JDWP
Using JDWP • No availability during collection • Zero control
or visibility • Easy to make mistakes • Single instance debugging • Managing multiple clients and connecting to multiple servers 13
JPDA - Java Platform Debugging Architecture • JDI - Java
Debug Interface • JDWP - Java Debug Wire Protocol • JVMTI - Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface 14
JVMTI - Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface • Native programming
interface • Interacts directly with the JVM • Inspect & Control 15
JVMTI - Java Virtual Machine Tool Interface • SetBreakpoint •
SetEventNotificationMode ◦ Breakpoint • GetLocalObject ◦ jobject 16
JVMTI - Get Stack Trace /* Get Stack Trace */
err = (*jvmti)->GetStackTrace(jvmti, thr, 0, 5, &frames, &count); if (err != JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) { printf("(GetThreadInfo) Error expected: %d, got: %d\n", JVMTI_ERROR_NONE, err); describe(err); printf("\n"); } printf("Number of records filled: %d\n", count); if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE && count >=1) { char *methodName; methodName = "yet_to_call()"; char *declaringClassName; jclass declaring_class; int i=0; printf("Exception Stack Trace\n"); printf("=====================\n"); printf("Stack Trace Depth: %d\n", count); for ( i=0; i < count; i++) { err = (*jvmti)->GetMethodName(jvmti, frames[i].method, &methodName, NULL, NULL); if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) { err = (*jvmti)->GetMethodDeclaringClass(jvmti, frames[i].method, &declaring_class); err = (*jvmti)->GetClassSignature(jvmti, declaring_class, &declaringClassName, NULL); if (err == JVMTI_ERROR_NONE) { printf("at method %s() in class %s\n", methodName, declaringClassName); } } } } 17 *A lot of code*
Java - Get Stack Trace Thread.currentThread().getStackTrace() 18
Using JVMTI • Incredibly Complex • Native vulnerabilities • Not
portable • Bugs are catastrophic 19
20 Newer? Simpler? Full control? In-process? Unbreakable?
Requirements 21 • Don’t break • Predictability • Availability •
Performance • Security and compliance • Multi-instance debugging
Thread 2: Client Connection public Response Process(Request req) { String
id = req.GetID(); if (isExistingUser(id)) { return new Response("User exists!"); } // Create new user... } Requirements 22 • Don’t break • Availability Thread 1: Server Client Connection Thread 3: Client Connection public Response Process(Request req) { String id = req.GetID(); if (isExistingUser(id)) { return new Response("User exists!"); } // Create new user... } Thread 2: Client Connection public Response Process(Request req) { String id = req.GetID(); if (isExistingUser(id)) { return new Response("User exists!"); } // Create new user... }
