 public interface EventRequest extends Mirror Represents a request for notification of an event. Examples includeBreakpointRequestandExceptionRequest. When an event occurs for which an enabled request is present, anEventSetwill be placed on theEventQueue. The collection of existing event requests is managed by theEventRequestManager.The number of events generated for an event request can be controlled through filters. Filters provide additional constraints that an event must satisfy before it is placed on the event queue. Multiple filters can be used by making multiple calls to filter addition methods such as ExceptionRequest.addClassFilter(java.lang.String classPattern). Filters are added to an event one at a time only while the event is disabled. Multiple filters are applied with CUT-OFF AND, in the order it was added to the request. Only events that satisfy all filters are placed in the event queue.The set of available filters is dependent on the event request, some examples of filters are: - Thread filters allow control over the thread for which events are generated.
- Class filters allow control over the class in which the event occurs.
- Instance filters allow control over the instance in which the event occurs.
- Count filters allow control over the number of times an event is reported.
 Any method on EventRequestwhich takesEventRequestas an parameter may throwVMDisconnectedExceptionif the target VM is disconnected and theVMDisconnectEventhas been or is available to be read from theEventQueue.Any method on EventRequestwhich takesEventRequestas an parameter may throwVMOutOfMemoryExceptionif the target VM has run out of memory.- Since:

Method Detail- 
isEnabledboolean isEnabled() Determines if this event request is currently enabled.- Returns:
- trueif enabled;- falseotherwise.
 
 - 
setEnabledvoid setEnabled(boolean val) Enables or disables this event request. While this event request is disabled, the event request will be ignored and the target VM will not be stopped if any of its threads reaches the event request. Disabled event requests still exist, and are included in event request lists such asEventRequestManager.breakpointRequests().- Parameters:
- val-- trueif the event request is to be enabled;- falseotherwise.
- Throws:
- InvalidRequestStateException- if this request has been deleted.
- IllegalThreadStateException- if this is a StepRequest,- valis- true, and the thread named in the request has died or is not yet started.
 
 - 
enablevoid enable() Same assetEnabled(true).- Throws:
- InvalidRequestStateException- if this request has been deleted.
- IllegalThreadStateException- if this is a StepRequest and the thread named in the request has died or is not yet started.
 
 - 
disablevoid disable() Same assetEnabled(false).- Throws:
- InvalidRequestStateException- if this request has been deleted.
 
 - 
addCountFiltervoid addCountFilter(int count) Limit the requested event to be reported at most once after a given number of occurrences. The event is not reported the firstcount - 1times this filter is reached. To request a one-off event, call this method with a count of 1.Once the count reaches 0, any subsequent filters in this request are applied. If none of those filters cause the event to be suppressed, the event is reported. Otherwise, the event is not reported. In either case subsequent events are never reported for this request. - Parameters:
- count- the number of ocurrences before generating an event.
- Throws:
- InvalidRequestStateException- if this request is currently enabled or has been deleted. Filters may be added only to disabled requests.
- IllegalArgumentException- if- countis less than one.
 
 - 
setSuspendPolicyvoid setSuspendPolicy(int policy) Determines the threads to suspend when the requested event occurs in the target VM. UseSUSPEND_ALLto suspend all threads in the target VM (the default). UseSUSPEND_EVENT_THREADto suspend only the thread which generated the event. UseSUSPEND_NONEto suspend no threads.Thread suspensions through events have the same functionality as explicitly requested suspensions. See ThreadReference.suspend()andVirtualMachine.suspend()for details.- Parameters:
- policy- the selected suspend policy.
- Throws:
- InvalidRequestStateException- if this request is currently enabled or has been deleted. Suspend policy may only be set in disabled requests.
- IllegalArgumentException- if the policy argument contains an illegal value.
 
 - 
suspendPolicyint suspendPolicy() Returns a value which describes the threads to suspend when the requested event occurs in the target VM. The returned value isSUSPEND_ALL,SUSPEND_EVENT_THREAD, orSUSPEND_NONE.- Returns:
- the current suspend mode for this request
 
 - 
putPropertyvoid putProperty(Object key, Object value) Add an arbitrary key/value "property" to this request. The property can be used by a client of the JDI to associate application information with the request; These client-set properties are not used internally by the JDI.The get/putPropertymethods provide access to a small per-instance map. This is not to be confused withProperties.If value is null this method will remove the property. - See Also:
- getProperty(java.lang.Object)
 
 - 
getPropertyObject getProperty(Object key) Returns the value of the property with the specified key. Only properties added withputProperty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)will return a non-null value.- Returns:
- the value of this property or null
- See Also:
- putProperty(java.lang.Object, java.lang.Object)
