Method Detail

name

public String name()
Returns the name of this thread.
Returns:
the string containing the thread name.
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

suspend

public void suspend()
Suspends this thread. The thread can be resumed through resume() or resumed with other threads through VirtualMachine.resume().

Unlike java.lang.Thread#suspend, suspends of both the virtual machine and individual threads are counted. Before a thread will run again, it must be resumed (through resume() or resume()) the same number of times it has been suspended.

Suspending single threads with this method has the same dangers as java.lang.Thread.suspend(). If the suspended thread holds a monitor needed by another running thread, deadlock is possible in the target VM (at least until the suspended thread is resumed again).

The suspended thread is guaranteed to remain suspended until resumed through one of the JDI resume methods mentioned above; the application in the target VM cannot resume the suspended thread through java.lang.Thread#resume.

Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

resume

public void resume()
Resumes this thread. If this thread was not previously suspended through suspend() or through VirtualMachine.suspend(), invoking this method has no effect. Otherwise, the count of pending suspends on this thread is decremented. If it is decremented to 0, the thread will continue to execute.
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

suspendCount

public int suspendCount()
Resumes the number of pending suspends for this thread. See suspend() for an explanation of counted suspends.
Returns:
the integer pending suspend count
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

stop

public void stop(ObjectReference throwable)
          throws InvalidTypeException
Stops this thread with an asynchronous exception. A debugger thread in the target VM will stop this thread with the given Throwable object.
Parameters:
throwable - the asynchronous exception to throw.
Throws:
InvalidTypeException - if throwable is not an instance of java.lang.Throwable in the target VM.
ObjectCollectedException - if this object or the asynchronous exception has been garbage collected.
See Also:
java.lang.Thread#stop(Throwable)

interrupt

public void interrupt()
Interrupts this thread.
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.
See Also:
java.lang.Thread#interrupt()

status

public int status()
Returns the thread's status. If the thread is not suspended the thread's current status is returned. If the thread is suspended, the thread's status before the suspension is returned (or THREAD_STATUS_UNKNOWN if this information is not available. isSuspended() can be used to determine if the thread has been suspended.
Returns:
one of THREAD_STATUS_UNKNOWN, THREAD_STATUS_ZOMBIE, THREAD_STATUS_RUNNING, THREAD_STATUS_SLEEPING, THREAD_STATUS_MONITOR, THREAD_STATUS_WAIT, THREAD_STATUS_NOT_STARTED,
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

isSuspended

public boolean isSuspended()
Determines whether the thread has been suspended by the the debugger.
Returns:
true if the thread is currently suspended; false otherwise.
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

isAtBreakpoint

public boolean isAtBreakpoint()
Determines whether the thread is suspended at a breakpoint.
Returns:
true if the thread is currently stopped at a breakpoint; false otherwise.
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

threadGroup

public ThreadGroupReference threadGroup()
Returns this thread's thread group.
Returns:
a ThreadGroupReference that mirrors this thread's thread group in the target VM.
Throws:
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

frameCount

public int frameCount()
               throws IncompatibleThreadStateException
Returns the number of stack frames in the thread's current call stack. The thread must be suspended (normally through an interruption to the VM) to get this information, and it is only valid until the thread is resumed again.
Returns:
an integer frame count
Throws:
IncompatibleThreadStateException - if the thread is not suspended in the target VM
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

frames

public List frames()
            throws IncompatibleThreadStateException
Returns a List containing each StackFrame in the thread's current call stack. The thread must be suspended (normally through an interruption to the VM) to get this information, and it is only valid until the thread is resumed again.
Returns:
a List of StackFrame with the current frame first followed by each caller's frame.
Throws:
IncompatibleThreadStateException - if the thread is not suspended in the target VM
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

frame

public StackFrame frame(int index)
                 throws IncompatibleThreadStateException
Returns the StackFrame at the given index in the thread's current call stack. Index 0 retrieves the current frame; higher indices retrieve caller frames. The thread must be suspended (normally through an interruption to the VM) to get this information, and it is only valid until the thread is resumed again.
Parameters:
index - the desired frame
Returns:
the requested StackFrame
Throws:
IncompatibleThreadStateException - if the thread is not suspended in the target VM
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the index is greater than or equal to frameCount() or is negative.
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

frames

public List frames(int start,
                   int length)
            throws IncompatibleThreadStateException
Returns a List containing a range of StackFrame mirrors from the thread's current call stack. The thread must be suspended (normally through an interruption to the VM) to get this information, and it is only valid until the thread is resumed again.
Parameters:
start - the index of the first frame
length - the number of frames to retrieve
Returns:
a List of StackFrame with the current frame first followed by each caller's frame.
Throws:
IncompatibleThreadStateException - if the thread is not suspended in the target VM
IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the specified range is not within the range from 0 to frameCount() - 1.
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

ownedMonitors

public List ownedMonitors()
                   throws IncompatibleThreadStateException
Returns a List containing an ObjectReference for each monitor owned by the thread. A monitor is owned by a thread if it has been entered (via the synchronized statement or entry into a synchronized method) and has not been relinquished through Object.wait(long).

Not all target VMs support this operation. See VirtualMachine#canGetOwnedMonitorInfo to determine if the operation is supported.

Returns:
a List of ObjectReference objects. The list has zero length if no monitors are owned by this thread.
Throws:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the target target VM does not support this operation.
IncompatibleThreadStateException - if the thread is not suspended in the target VM
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.

currentContendedMonitor

public ObjectReference currentContendedMonitor()
                                        throws IncompatibleThreadStateException
Returns an ObjectReference for the monitor, if any, for which this thread is currently waiting. The thread can be waiting for a monitor through entry into a synchronized method, the synchronized statement, or Object.wait(long). The status() method can be used to differentiate between the first two cases and the third.

Not all target VMs support this operation. See VirtualMachine#canGetCurrentContendedMonitor to determine if the operation is supported.

Returns:
the ObjectReference corresponding to the contended monitor, or null if it is not waiting for a monitor.
Throws:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if the target target VM does not support this operation.
IncompatibleThreadStateException - if the thread is not suspended in the target VM
ObjectCollectedException - if this object has been garbage collected.
