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 this 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 Field field ()

Gets the Field being watched by this WatchpointRequest.

Returns
  • the Field this Watchpoint is monitoring.
