Filtering Agent

Prevent some classes to be loaded through a javaagent. It avoids to set a security manager on the JVM when not possible or desired - because it will impact more than just the classloading or because custom classloaders don’t use the security manager.

Configuration

Configuration is passed to the runtime using key1=value1|key2=value2 syntax. Supported keys are:

Key	Description
include	set of rules which will trigger a class to not be instantiable.
exclude	set of rules which will trigger a class to be instantiable.
order	allows to determine if include wins over exclude or not, values can respectively be include-exclude or exclude-include.

A rule is a value with a potential prefix. If no prefix is set the rule if of type prefix. The supported prefixes are:

Prefix	Description
prefix	This will test the value with a startsWith logic.
regex	This will test the value with a java Pattern logic.

Example:

-javaagent:/tmp/filtering-agent-${version}-shaded.jar=include=org.company
