Public Methods

public abstract void addClassExclusionFilter (String classPattern)

Restricts the events generated by this request to those whose location is in a class whose name does not match a restricted regular expression. Regular expressions are limited to exact matches and patterns that begin with '*' or end with '*'; for example, "*.Foo" or "java.*".

Parameters
classPattern the pattern String to filter against.
Throws
InvalidRequestStateException if this request is currently enabled or has been deleted. Filters may be added only to disabled requests.

public abstract void addClassFilter (String classPattern)

Restricts the events generated by this request to those whose location is in a class whose name matches a restricted regular expression. Regular expressions are limited to exact matches and patterns that begin with '*' or end with '*'; for example, "*.Foo" or "java.*".

Parameters
classPattern the pattern String to filter for.
Throws
InvalidRequestStateException if this request is currently enabled or has been deleted. Filters may be added only to disabled requests.

public abstract void addClassFilter (ReferenceType refType)

Restricts the events generated by this request to those whose location is in the given reference type or any of its subtypes. An event will be generated for any location in a reference type that can be safely cast to the given reference type.

Parameters
refType the reference type to filter on.
Throws
InvalidRequestStateException if this request is currently enabled or has been deleted. Filters may be added only to disabled requests.

public abstract void addInstanceFilter (ObjectReference instance)

Restricts the events generated by this request to those in which the currently executing instance ("this") is the object specified.

Not all targets support this operation. Use canUseInstanceFilters() to determine if the operation is supported.

Parameters
instance the object which must be the current instance in order to pass this filter.
Throws
UnsupportedOperationException if the target virtual machine does not support this operation.
InvalidRequestStateException if this request is currently enabled or has been deleted. Filters may be added only to disabled requests.

public abstract void addThreadFilter (ThreadReference thread)

Restricts the events generated by this request to those in the given thread.

Parameters
thread the thread to filter on.
Throws
InvalidRequestStateException if this request is currently enabled or has been deleted. Filters may be added only to disabled requests.

public abstract ReferenceType exception ()

Returns exception type for which exception events are requested.

Returns

public abstract boolean notifyCaught ()

Returns whether caught exceptions of the requested type will generate events when they are thrown.

Note that at the time an exception is thrown, it is not always possible to determine whether it is truly caught. See catchLocation() for details.

Returns
  • boolean true if caught exceptions will be reported, false otherwise.

public abstract boolean notifyUncaught ()

Returns whether uncaught exceptions of the requested type will generate events when they are thrown.

Note that at the time an exception is thrown, it is not always possible to determine whether it is truly uncaught. See catchLocation() for details.

Returns
  • boolean true if caught exceptions will be reported, false otherwise.
