Previously, JarURLConnection would fail when created with a URL that
began with jar:file:// as the double-slash is not included in jarFile.getUrl().getFile().
This commit updates JarURLConnection to normalise the value return from
url.getFile() to remove a double-slash when present.
Fixes gh-5287
Closes gh-5289
Previously, JarLauncher considered any entry whose name began with
BOOT-INF/classes/ as being a nested entry. This was incorrect as it
meant that subdirectories of BOOT-INF/classes/ would be added to the
classpath rather than just BOOT-INF/classes/ itself.
This commit updates JarLauncher so that only directory entries with a
name equal to BOOT-INF/classes are used.
Closes gh-5610
Previously, if a JarFile was created from a directory nested inside
another jar file, it would look for the manifest in
pathFromRoot/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. This is incorrect as, unlike a
JarFile created from a jar file, the archives are one and the same
so the manifests should be too.
This commit updates JarFile so that its aware of how it was created
(direct from a file, from a nested directory, from a nested jar). If
it was created from a file or from a nested jar, it uses its manifest.
If it was created from a nested directory, it uses the manifest of the
root archive.
Closes gh-5609
Previously, if loader.path directly specified a jar file that contained
nested archives (.zip or .jar), launching would fail unless those
nested archives were uncompressed. However, if loader.path specified a
directory that contained such a jar file the launch would succeed. This
was because the nested archives within the jar were ignored.
This commit updates PropertiesLauncher so that its behaviour in the
scenarios described above is consistent by not looking for archives
nested with a jar that’s be specified on loader.path. The javadoc for
loader.path has also been updated to make it clear that loader.path
can points to directories or jar files, bringing it into line with
the reference guide.
Closes gh-3701
Following changes to LaunchedURLClassLoader made in 87fe0b2a, it is
no longer necessary for the launcher to load MainMethodRunner via
reflection as both the app class loader that the launcher URL class
loader share the same MainMethodRunner class.
This commit takes advantage of this by updating Launcher to instantiate
MainMethodRunner directly rather than via reflection, removing one
source of possible exceptions in the launcher.
As the MainMethodRunner is now loaded directly and its class is shared
between the two class loaders, there’s no longer a need for it to
implement Runnable. This allows it to throw Exception from its run
method, rather than having to wrap any Exception in a RuntimeException.
Lastly, rather than catching any exception thrown from the launch,
Launcher and its subclasses have been updated to allow this exception
to be thrown from the main method. This allows the Exception to reach
the JVM, to be processed by our registered uncaught exception handler,
and to trigger the JVM’s standard processing for exiting due to a
failure. This removes the need for the Launcher itself to call
System.exit(1) and ensures that the exception is only output to the
console if it hasn’t been registered as a logged exception.
Closes gh-5358
Previously, when defining a package for a class, LaunchedURLClassLoader
would use the manifest from the first location that contained the
required package. If the package was split across multiple locations,
this could lead to the manifest from a jar other than the one that
contains the class being used.
This commit updates LaunchedURLClassLoader so that it will use the
manifest of the jar file that contains the class which triggered the
definition of the package.
Closes gh-5485
LaunchedURLClassLoader preemptively defines the package for any
classes that it attempts to load so that the manifest from a nested
jar is correctly associated with the package. This can lead to a race
where the package is defined on two threads in parallel, resulting
in an IllegalArgumentException being thrown.
This problem was manifesting itself as a NoClassDefFoundError.
If the initialization of a class failed due to the above-described
IllegalArgumentException, subsequent attempts to use that class
would then fail with a NoClassDefFoundError.
This commit updates LaunchedURLClassLoader to catch the
IllegalArgumentException and then double-check that the package has
already been defined. This approach, including thrown an
AssertionError when the second check fails, is modelled on the
approach taken by URLClassLoader.
Closes gh-5464
Previously, the Launcher would call ex.printStackTrace for any
exception that was thrown when launching the application. This was
unnecessary as the stack trace should already have been logged by
the application when it failed to start.
This commit removes the call to ex.printStackTrace, thereby allowing
an exception to be logged only once or not at all after successful
failure analysis.
Closes gh-5358
Previously, JarURLConnection would corrupt a URL that contained a
mixture of encoded and unencoded double-byte characters. URLs that
only contained unencoded double-byte characters were not affected as
they are passed through as-is.
This commit updates JarURLConnection.JarEntryName to correctly handle
characters with a value that won't fit in a single signed byte (a
value greater than 127). Such characters are now URL encoded and then
written to the output stream as multiple bytes.
Closes gh-5194
When an application is run as an executable archive with nested jars,
the application's own classes need to be able to load classes from
within the nested jars. This means that the application's classes need
to be loaded by the same class loader as is used for the nested jars.
When an application is launched with java -jar the contents of the
jar are on the class path of the app class loader, which is the
parent of the LaunchedURLClassLoader that is used to load classes
from within the nested jars. If the root of the jar includes the
application's classes, they would be loaded by the app class loader
and, therefore, would not be able to load classes from within the
nested jars.
Previously, this problem was resolved by LaunchedURLClassLoader being
created with a copy of all of the app class laoder's URLs and by
using an unconventional delegation model that caused it to skip its
parent (the app class loader) and jump straight to its root class
loader. This ensured that the LaunchedURLClassLoader would load both
the application's own classes and those from within any nested jars.
Unfortunately, this unusual delegation model has proved to be
problematic. We have seen and worked around some problems with Java
Agents (see gh-4911 and gh-863), but there are others (see gh-4868)
that cannot be made to work with the current delegation model.
This commit reworks LaunchedURLClassLoader to use a conventional
delegate model with the app class loader as its parent. With this
change in place, the application's own classes need to be hidden
from the app class loader via some other means. This is now achieved
by packaging application classes in BOOT-INF/classes (and, for
symmetry, nested jars are now packaged in BOOT-INF/lib). Both the
JarLauncher and the PropertiesLauncher (which supports the executable
jar layout) have been updated to look for classes and nested jars in
these new locations.
Closes gh-4897
Fixes gh-4868
Previously, the Launcher was creating a new runner thread that would
call the application's main method. An exception thrown by this thread
is handled differently to one thrown by the JVM's main thread leading
to different exit behaviour. Furthermore, the separate thread isn't
actually necessary.
This commit removew the use of a separate runner thread from the
Launcher. This means that the JVM's exit behaviour will be consistent
and also removes the overhead of createing a starting an extra thread.
Closes gh-5006
Ensure that JarFile caches are cleared once the ApplicationContext has

Refactor `spring-boot-loader` to reduce the amount of memory required
to load fat & exploded jars. Jar files now no longer store a full list
of entry data records, but instead use an array of entry name hashes.
Since ClassLoaders often ask each JAR if they contain a particular
entry (and mostly they do not), the hash array provides a quick way to
deal with misses. Only when a hash does exist is data actually loaded
from the underlying file.
In addition to the JarFile changes, the Archive abstraction has also
been updated to reduce memory consumption.

Previously, if an application’s main method threw an exception,
MainMethodRunner would catch the exception and call System.exit(1).
This meant that the JVM would exit, irrespective of whether or not
any non-daemon threads were running. In contrast, when an application’s
main method was invoked directly (in an IDE, for example) the JVM
would not exit if one or more non-daemon threads were running. This
is standard JVM behaviour that we should be consistent with in the
launcher.
This commit updates MainMethodRunner to wrap any exception thrown by an
application’s main method in a RuntimeException and rethrow it. This
alllows the JVM to handle the exception and use its normal rules for
deciding whether or not it should exit.
Closes gh-4984
PropertiesLauncher creates a ClassLoader that is used by the Launcher
to load an application’s classes. During the creation of this
ClassLoader URLs from its ClassLoader. This resulted resulting in Java
agents that are added to the system class loader via the -javaagent
launch option being available on both the system class loader and the
created class loader. Java agents are intended to always be loaded by
the system class loader. Making them available on another class loader
breaks this model.
This is the same problem that was in ExecutableArchiveLauncher and
that was fixed in ee08667e (see gh-863).
This commit updates PropertiesLauncher so that it skips the URLs of
any Java agents (found by examining the JVM’s input arguments) when
copying URLs over to the new ClassLoader, thereby ensuring that Java
agents are only ever loaded by the system class loader.
Closes gh-4911

Previously, JarFileArchive would always unpack any entries marked for
unpacking to ${java.io.tmpdir}/spring-boot-libs. This could cause
problems if multiple Spring Boot applications were running on the same
host:
- If the apps are run as different users the first application would
create the spring-boot-libs directory and the second and subsequent
applications may not have write permissions to that directory
- Multiple apps may overwrite each others unpacked libs. At best this
will mean one copy of a jar is overwritten with another identical
copy. At worst the jars may have different contents so that some of
the contents of the original jar disappear unexpectedly.
This commit updates JarFileArchive to use an application-specific
location when unpacking libs. A directory beneath ${java.io.tmpdir} is
still used but it's now named <jar-file-name>-spring-boot-libs-<uuid>.
A loop, limited to 1000 attempts, is used to avoid problems caused by
the uuid clashing.
Closes gh-4124
When nested jars are being used, hasMoreElements requires opening a
connection for an entry in every nested jar. If that entry doesn't
exist, a FileNotFoundException is thrown to indicate that a particular
jar doesn't contain the requested entry. This exception is used to
indicate the lack of an entry and is then swallowed, i.e. its stack
trace is of no importance. This means that the performance of
hasMoreElements can be improved by switching on fast exceptions while
it's being called. When fast exceptions are switched on a general
purpose pre-initialized FileNotFoundException is thrown rather than
creating a new FileNotFoundException instance each time.
In certain situations, the use of fast exceptions as described above
can improve performance fairly significantly. The JRE's default SAAJ
implementation uses META-INF/services-based discovery for _every_
request that's handled by Spring Web Services. Each discovery attempt
results in hasMoreElements being called making its performance
critical to throughput.
See gh-3640
I think this is safe, judging by the integration tests, but I'm not
putting it in 1.2.x until we've had some feedback on it. The
integration tests actually had a bug that was masking this problem
because they were merging Properties from the whole classpath instead
of picking the first available resource (which is generally what
we do in Spring Boot applications for application.properties for
instance).

The format is rather unusual.
The time is 16 bits: 5 bits for the hour, 6 bits for the minutes, and 5
bits for the seconds. 5 bits only allows 32 values (0-31) so the number
must be doubled, meaning that the time is only accurate to the nearest
two seconds. Also, the JDK rounds this down by subtracting one. The
doubling and rounding is performed by shifting one place to the left
and masking off the right-most bit respectively.
The date is 16 bits: 7 bits for the year, 4 bits for the month, and 5
bits for the day. The year is from 1980, i.e. the earliest date that
can be represented is 1980-01-01.

on the old ones, which probably aought to be beefed up to the same

Previously, WarLauncher included its root on the classpath. It also used
a filtered version of its root archive to hide both the WEB-INF and
META-INF directories. This meant that files in WEB-INF and META-INF
could be found by the classloader (as they were on the classpath) but
could not be read as the filtered archive was hiding them.
This commit updates WarLauncher to remove the root of the war file from
the classpath. It also removes the filtering of the archive, thereby
allowing files in META-INF and WEB-INF to be accessed via the
ServletContext.

Update ExecutableArchiveLauncher so that `-cp` URLs are not added
when they are already contained as nested JARs. This prevents a
SecurityException "signer information does not match error" when using
signed jars. The root cause of the issue was that the primary JAR file

main URL set as "jar:file:....jar". It is now filtered so that only
the "jar:" variant is added.

Update the executable JAR code to automatically unpack any entries

This prevent a connection from incorrectly resolving an entry against
the wrong jar file.

Tweak 'fat jar' handling to generally improve performance:
- Allow JarURLConnection to throw a static FileNotFoundException when
loading classes. This exception is thrown many times when attempting
to load a class and is silently swallowed so there is no point in
providing the entry name.
- Expose JarFile.getJarEntryData(AsciiBytes) and store AsciiBytes in
the JarURLConnection. Previously AsciiBytes were created, discarded
then created again.
- Use EMPTY_JAR_URL for the JarURLConnection super constructor. The URL
is never actually used so we can improve performance by using a
constant.
- Extract JarEntryName for possible caching. The jar entry name
extracted from the URL is now contained in an inner JarEntryName
class. This could be cached if necessary (although currently it is
not because no perceivable performance benefit was observed)

Update JarFile to reuse the previously parsed entries when creating
