<h1 id="-xshareclasses">-Xshareclasses</h1>
<p>Use the <code>-Xshareclasses</code> option to enable, disable, or modify class sharing behavior. Class data sharing is enabled by default for bootstrap classes only (the equivalent of specifying <code>-Xshareclasses:bootClassesOnly,nonFatal,silent</code>), unless your application is running in a container.</p>
<p>This option can take a number of parameters, some of which are <em>cache utilities</em>. Cache utilities carry out specific operations on a specified cache without starting the Java virtual machine (VM). Although you can combine multiple suboptions, which are separated by commas, the cache utilities are mutually exclusive.</p>
<p>Some cache utilities can work with caches from previous Java&trade; versions or caches that are created by VMs with different bit-widths. These caches are referred to as <em>"incompatible"</em> caches.</p>
<p>See also the <a href="../shrc/">Class data sharing</a> topic, which includes some <a href="../shrc/#best-practices-for-using-xshareclasses">best practices for using <code>-Xshareclasses</code></a>.</p>
<h2 id="syntax">Syntax</h2>
<pre><code> -Xshareclasses:&lt;parameter&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>When you specify <code>-Xshareclasses</code> without any parameters and without specifying either the <code>-Xscmx</code> or <code>-XX:SharedCacheHardLimit</code> options, a shared classes cache is created with a default size, as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li>For 64-bit platforms, the default size is 300 MB, with a "soft" maximum limit for the initial size of the cache (<code>-Xscmx</code>) of 64MB, with the following exceptions:<ul>
<li>For a persistent cache, if the free disk space is less than 6 GB, the default size is set to 64 MB and an <code>-Xscmx</code> size is not set.</li>
<li>For a non-persistent cache on Linux&reg; or macOS&reg; systems, the cache size is limited by the maximum amount of memory that can be reserved by a process (<code>SHMMAX</code>). If <code>SHMMAX</code> is less than 300MB, the default shared cache size is set to equal <code>SHMMAX</code>. If <code>SHMMAX</code> is greater than 80 MB, <code>-Xscmx</code> is set to 64 MB. If <code>SHMMAX</code> is less than 80MB an <code>-Xscmx</code> size is not set.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>For other platforms, the default size is 16MB.</li>
</ul>

<li>On z/OS&reg; systems, <code>&lt;directory&gt;</code> is the <code>/tmp/javasharedresources</code> directory.</li>
<li>On other operating systems, <code>&lt;directory&gt;</code> is <code>javasharedresources</code> in the user's home directory, unless the <code>groupAccess</code> parameter is specified, in which case it is <code>/tmp/javasharedresources</code>, because some members of the group might not have access to the user's home directory. You must have sufficient permissions in <code>&lt;directory&gt;</code>. Do not set user's home directory on a NFS or shared mount.</li>

<dl>
<dd>Used when a JVMTI agent is installed that might modify bytecode at run time. If you do not specify this suboption and a bytecode modification agent is installed, classes are safely shared with an extra performance cost. The <code>&lt;modified context&gt;</code> is a descriptor that is chosen by the user; for example, <em>myModification1</em>. This option partitions the cache so that only VMs that are using context <em>myModification1</em> can share the same classes. So if, for example, you run an application with a modification context and then run it again with a different modification context, all classes are stored twice in the cache.</dd>

<h3 id="restrictclasspaths"><code>restrictClasspaths</code></h3>
<pre><code> -Xshareclasses:restrictClasspaths

<dl>
<dd>Allows only the first VM that is initializing a shared cache to store classpaths in the cache. Subsequent VMs are not allowed to store classpaths in the cache unless the <code>allowClasspaths</code> option is specified.</dd>
<dd>Use the <code>restrictClasspaths</code> option only if the application is designed to create class loaders of type <code>java.net.URLClassloader</code> or its subclass, such that their classpaths are unique to the instance of the application, but the classes that are loaded from these classpaths are the same. In such cases application classpaths that are stored by one VM cannot be used by another VM.</dd>
<dd>
<p>For example, consider two VMs, VM1 and VM2, that are using class paths CP1 and CP2 respectively, where:</p>
<ul>
<li>CP1: <code>url1;url2;url3;tempurl1;url4;url5</code></li>
<li>CP2: <code>url1;url2;url3;tempurl2;url4;url5</code></li>
</ul>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>These class paths differ only by one entry, which is the <code>tempurl</code>. The <code>url1</code>, <code>url2</code>, <code>url3</code>, <code>url4</code>, and <code>url5</code> entries never change from run to run, whereas the <code>tempurl</code> entry is always different. This difference means that a class that is loaded from <code>url4</code> or <code>url5</code>, and stored into the shared cache by VM1, cannot be located by VM2. Therefore, an attempt by VM2 to load a class from <code>url4</code> or <code>url5</code> would cause it to store its own classpath <code>CP2</code> into the shared cache, and also add new metadata for classes that are loaded from <code>url4</code> or <code>url5</code>. Addition of such unique class paths into the shared cache is not useful. Moreover, the additional metadata might adversely affect the performance of other VMs that connect to the shared cache. Because classes loaded from <code>url4</code> or <code>url5</code> are not loaded from the shared cache when the <code>tempurl</code> differs from the original, it is good practice to put the <code>tempurl</code> as the last entry in the class path.</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>In situations such as that described in the example, the <code>restrictClasspaths</code> option can be used to restrict the addition of classpaths by ensuring that the first VM initializes the shared cache, and then prevents the addition of unique classpaths by subsequent VMs that attach to the shared cache. Note that use of the <code>restrictClasspaths</code> option in any other scenario is likely to negatively impact a VM's performance when it is using an existing cache.</p>

<dd>
<p>Typically, after a system is reinitialized, the snapshot file is used to restore the copy of the non-persistent cache into shared memory, via the <a href="#restorefromsnapshot-cache-utility"><code>restoreFromSnapshot</code></a> suboption.

<h3 id="utilities"><code>utilities</code></h3>
<pre><code> -Xshareclasses:utilities
</code></pre>
<dl>
<dd>Can be added to the end of a command line to disable class data sharing. This suboption overrides class sharing arguments found earlier on the command line. This suboption is like <a href="#none"><code>none</code></a>, but does not disable the shared class utility APIs. For more information, see <a href="../shrc/#the-java-shared-classes-utility-api">The Java shared classes utility API</a>.</dd>
</dl>
<h3 id="verbose"><code>verbose</code></h3>
<pre><code> -Xshareclasses:verbose
</code></pre>
<dl>
<dd>Gives detailed output on the cache I/O activity, listing information about classes that are stored and found. Each class loader is given a unique ID (the bootstrap loader is always 0) and the output shows the class loader hierarchy at work, where class loaders ask their parents for a class if they can't find it themselves. It is typical to see many failed requests; this behavior is expected for the class loader hierarchy. The standard option <code>-verbose:class</code> also enables class sharing verbose output if class sharing is enabled.</dd>
</dl>
<h3 id="verboseaot"><code>verboseAOT</code></h3>
<pre><code> -Xshareclasses:verboseAOT
</code></pre>
<dl>
<dd>Enables verbose output when compiled AOT code is being found or stored in the cache. AOT code is generated heuristically. You might not see any AOT code that is generated at all for a small application. You can disable AOT caching by using the <code>noaot</code> suboption. See the <a href="https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSYKE2_8.0.0/com.ibm.java.messages/diag/appendixes/messages/messages.html">VM Messages Guide</a> for a list of the messages produced.</dd>
</dl>
<h3 id="verbosehelper"><code>verboseHelper</code></h3>
<pre><code> -Xshareclasses:verboseHelper
</code></pre>
<dl>
<dd>Enables verbose output for the Java Helper API. This output shows you how the Helper API is used by your class loader.</dd>
</dl>
<h3 id="verboseio"><code>verboseIO</code></h3>
<pre><code> -Xshareclasses:verboseIO
</code></pre>
<dl>
<dd>Gives detailed output on the cache I/O activity, listing information about classes that are stored and found. Each class loader is given a unique ID (the bootstrap loader is always 0) and the output shows the class loader hierarchy at work, where class loaders must ask their parents for a class before they can load it themselves. It is typical to see many failed requests; this behavior is expected for the class loader hierarchy.</dd>
</dl>
<h2 id="method-specification-syntax">Method specification syntax</h2>
<p>The following examples show how to specify more than one method specification when you are using the <a href="#findaotmethods-cache-utility"><code>findAotMethods</code></a>, <a href="#invalidateaotmethods-cache-utility"><code>invalidateAotMethods</code></a>, or <a href="#revalidateaotmethods-cache-utility"><code>revalidateAotMethods</code></a> suboptions.</p>
<p>Each method specification is defined as follows:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;packagename&gt;/&lt;classname&gt;[.&lt;methodname&gt;[(&lt;parameters&gt;)]]
</code></pre>
<p>If you want to include more than one method specification in a single option, separate the specifications with a comma and enclose all the specifications in {braces}. For example:</p>
<pre><code>{&lt;packagename/classname&gt;}[.{&lt;methodname&gt;}[({&lt;parameters&gt;})]]
</code></pre>
<!--
{<method_specification1>,<method_specification2>,<method_specification3>}
-->
<ul>
<li>You can use an asterisk (*) in most places as a wildcard.</li>
<li>You can use an exclamation point (!) before the specification to mean "everything <em>except</em> this".</li>
<li>Parameters are optional, but if specified, should be enclosed in parentheses and the following native signature formats must be used:<ul>
<li><code>B</code> for byte</li>
<li><code>C</code> for char</li>
<li><code>D</code> for double</li>
<li><code>F</code> for float</li>
<li><code>I</code> for int</li>
<li><code>J</code> for long</li>
<li><code>S</code> for short</li>
<li><code>Z</code> for Boolean</li>
<li><code>L&lt;classname&gt;;</code> for objects</li>
<li><code>[</code> before the signature means array</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>If you want to specify parameters to distinguish between methods, you can use <a href="#findaotmethods-cache-utility"><code>-Xshareclasses:findAotMethods=*</code></a> (with a wildcard) to list all the parameter variations. Copy the signature for the method that you want from the output. For example, the signature for the parameters</p>
<pre><code>(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length, Charset charset)
</code></pre>
<p>is</p>
<pre><code>([BIILjava/nio/charset/Charset;)
</code></pre>
<p>Here are some examples:</p>
