  java.lang.management.ThreadInfo

public class ThreadInfo
extends Object

Thread information. ThreadInfo contains the information about a thread including:

General thread information

• Thread ID.
• Name of the thread.

Execution information

• Thread state.
• The object upon which the thread is blocked due to:
  • waiting to enter a synchronization block/method, block or
  • waiting to be notified in a Object.wait
  • parking due to a LockSupport.park
• The ID of the thread that owns the object that the thread is blocked.
• Stack trace of the thread.

Synchronization statistics

• The number of times that the thread has blocked for synchronization or waited for notification.
• The accumulated elapsed time that the thread has blocked for synchronization or waited for notification since thread contention monitoring was enabled. Some Java virtual machine implementation may not support this. The ThreadMXBean.isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported() method can be used to determine if a Java virtual machine supports this.

This thread information class is designed for use in monitoring of the system, not for synchronization control.

Method Detail

getThreadId

public long getThreadId()

Returns the ID of the thread associated with this ThreadInfo .

Returns:

the ID of the associated thread.

getThreadName

public String getThreadName()

Returns the name of the thread associated with this ThreadInfo .

Returns:

the name of the associated thread.

getThreadState

public Thread.State getThreadState()

Returns the state of the thread associated with this ThreadInfo .

Returns:

Thread.State of the associated thread.

getBlockedTime

public long getBlockedTime()

Returns the approximate accumulated elapsed time (in milliseconds) that the thread associated with this ThreadInfo has blocked to enter or reenter a monitor since thread contention monitoring is enabled. I.e. the total accumulated time the thread has been in the BLOCKED state since thread contention monitoring was last enabled. This method returns -1 if thread contention monitoring is disabled.

The Java virtual machine may measure the time with a high resolution timer. This statistic is reset when the thread contention monitoring is reenabled.

Returns:

the approximate accumulated elapsed time in milliseconds that a thread entered the BLOCKED state; -1 if thread contention monitoring is disabled.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine does not support this operation.

See Also:

ThreadMXBean.isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported() , ThreadMXBean.setThreadContentionMonitoringEnabled(boolean)

getBlockedCount

public long getBlockedCount()

Returns the total number of times that the thread associated with this ThreadInfo blocked to enter or reenter a monitor. I.e. the number of times a thread has been in the BLOCKED state.

Returns:

the total number of times that the thread entered the BLOCKED state.

getWaitedTime

public long getWaitedTime()

Returns the approximate accumulated elapsed time (in milliseconds) that the thread associated with this ThreadInfo has waited for notification since thread contention monitoring is enabled. I.e. the total accumulated time the thread has been in the WAITING or TIMED_WAITING state since thread contention monitoring is enabled. This method returns -1 if thread contention monitoring is disabled.

The Java virtual machine may measure the time with a high resolution timer. This statistic is reset when the thread contention monitoring is reenabled.

Returns:

the approximate accumulated elapsed time in milliseconds that a thread has been in the WAITING or TIMED_WAITING state; -1 if thread contention monitoring is disabled.

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if the Java virtual machine does not support this operation.

See Also:

ThreadMXBean.isThreadContentionMonitoringSupported() , ThreadMXBean.setThreadContentionMonitoringEnabled(boolean)

getWaitedCount

public long getWaitedCount()

Returns the total number of times that the thread associated with this ThreadInfo waited for notification. I.e. the number of times that a thread has been in the WAITING or TIMED_WAITING state.

Returns:

the total number of times that the thread was in the WAITING or TIMED_WAITING state.

getLockInfo

 
public LockInfogetLockInfo () 

Returns the LockInfo of an object for which the thread associated with this ThreadInfo is blocked waiting. A thread can be blocked waiting for one of the following:

• an object monitor to be acquired for entering or reentering a synchronization block/method.
  The thread is in the BLOCKED synchronized statement or method.

• an object monitor to be notified by another thread.
  The thread is in the WAITING or TIMED_WAITING state due to a call to the Object.wait

• a synchronization object responsible for the thread parking.
  The thread is in the WAITING or TIMED_WAITING state due to a call to the LockSupport.park method. The synchronization object is the object returned from LockSupport.getBlocker method. Typically it is an ownable synchronizer or a Condition

This method returns null if the thread is not in any of the above conditions.

Returns:

LockInfo of an object for which the thread is blocked waiting if any; null otherwise.

Since:

1.6

getLockName

public String getLockName()

Returns the string representation string representation of an object for which the monitor lock that the thread associated with this ThreadInfo is blocked waiting. This method is equivalent to calling: is blocked to enter or waiting to be notified through the Object.wait method. The returned string representation of a monitor lock consists of the name of the class of which the object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the identity hash code of the object. The returned string may not be unique depending on the implementation of the System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object) method. This method returns a string equals to the value of:

 getLockInfo().toString()
 
 lock.getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(System.identityHashCode(lock))
 

where lock is the monitor lock object.

This method will return If the thread is not blocking to enter on any monitor object, or is not waiting on a monitor object for notification in a Object.wait call, this method returns null if this thread is not blocked waiting for any object or if the object is not owned by any thread. .

Returns:

the string representation of the object on which the thread is blocked if any; the string representation of the monitor lock that the thread is blocking to enter or waiting to be notified through the Object.wait method if any; null otherwise.

getLockInfo()

getLockOwnerId

public long getLockOwnerId()

Returns the ID of the thread which owns holds the monitor lock of an object for on which the thread associated with this ThreadInfo is blocked waiting. is blocking. This method will return -1 if this thread is not blocked or waiting for on any object monitor, or if the object monitor lock is not owned held by any thread.

Returns:

the thread ID of the owner thread of the monitor lock of the object this thread is blocked blocking on; -1 if this thread is not blocked or waiting on any monitor, or if the object lis monitor lock is not owned held by any thread.

getLockInfo() getLockName()

getLockOwnerName

public String getLockOwnerName()

Returns the name of the thread which owns holds the monitor lock of an object for on which the thread associated with this ThreadInfo is blocked waiting. is blocking. This method will return null if this thread is not blocked or waiting for on any object monitor, or if the object monitor lock is not owned held by any thread.

Returns:

the name of the thread that owns holds the monitor lock of the object this thread is blocked blocking on; null if this thread is not blocked or waiting on any monitor, or if the object monitor lock is not owned held by any thread.

getLockInfo() getLockName()

getStackTrace

public StackTraceElement[] getStackTrace()

Returns the stack trace of the thread associated with this ThreadInfo . If no stack trace was requested for this thread info, this method will return a zero-length array. If the returned array is of non-zero length then the first element of the array represents the top of the stack, which is the most recent method invocation in the sequence. The last element of the array represents the bottom of the stack, which is the least recent method invocation in the sequence.

Some Java virtual machines may, under some circumstances, omit one or more stack frames from the stack trace. In the extreme case, a virtual machine that has no stack trace information concerning the thread associated with this ThreadInfo is permitted to return a zero-length array from this method.

Returns:

an array of StackTraceElement objects of the thread.

isSuspended

public boolean isSuspended()

Tests if the thread associated with this ThreadInfo is suspended. This method returns true if Thread.suspend() has been called.

Returns:

true if the thread is suspended; false otherwise.

Tests if the thread associated with this ThreadInfo is executing native code via the Java Native Interface (JNI). The JNI native code does not include the virtual machine support code or the compiled native code generated by the virtual machine.

Returns:

true if the thread is executing native code; false otherwise.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a string representation of this thread info.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

Returns:

a string representation of this thread info.
