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

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 method 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.
