java.lang.ClassFormatError: Extra bytes at the end of class file

 

在精简JRE过程中,将rt.jar中类通过FileInputStream,FileOutputStream进行拷贝操作出错:

java.lang.ClassFormatError: Extra bytes at the end of class file

源代码:

byte buf[] = new byte[256];
while(fin.read(buf) != -1)
{
    fout.write(buf);
    ir.read();
}
fout.flush();

修改后:

byte buf[] = new byte[256];
int len = 256;
while((len = fin.read(buf)) != -1)
{
    fout.write(buf,0,len);
    ir.read();
}
fout.flush();

java.lang.ClassFormatError thrown when applet runs

Symptoms

When running an applet in a browser using the Sun JVM, a ClassFormatError is thrown by theClassLoader. The same applet runs under the Microsoft  VM.

Cause

This error is caused by bytecodes generated from old JDK 1.0.2/1.1 compilers, or from a third-party obfuscator. In the past, many of these compilers and obfuscators generated bytecode that does not conform to the Java VM Specification. Because the verifiers in recent J2SE releases are much stricter about bad class format, the ClassFormatError is thrown by the VM when these bad class files are loaded.

Some typical problems in some older class files are the following (note that this list is not exhaustive):

• There are extra bytes at the end of the class file.
• The class file contains method or field names that do not begin with a letter.
• The class attempts to access private members of another class.
• The class file has other format errors, including illegal constant pool indices and illegal UTF-8 strings.
• The class file produced by an early (third-party) bytecode obfuscator violates proper class-file format.

Resolution

To allow some of the applets with bad class files to run in the Java 2 platform, Java Plug-in contains a bytecode transformer to transform some of the bad class files to good ones. Currently, only bad class files with the following problems may be transformed:

• Local variable name with a bad constant pool index
• Extra bytes at the end of the class file
• Code segment of the wrong length
• Illegal field/method name
• Illegal field/method modifiers
• Invalid start_pc/length in local var table

Unfortunately, the bytecode transformer cannot transform the following problems, which will still result in a ClassFormatError:

• Illegal use of nonvirtual function call
• Arguments can't fit into locals
• Unsorted lookup switch
• Truncated class file

You can resolve these problems by simply recompiling your Java classes with the javac compiler from the Java 2 SDK. If you choose to use a third-party obfuscator, be sure to use one that produces class files that respect proper class-file format.
