A complex data type that consists of one or more fields.

This class provides methods to select and query nested objects by passing a dot "." delimited String object (for instance, "aaa.bbb"). A method evaluates a nested object from left to right, and if a part is null, it throws NullPointerException.

Method Details

hasField

public boolean hasField(String name)

Returns true if a field with the given name exists, false otherwise.

It's possible to index into a nested field by using "." (for instance "thread.group.parent.name").

Parameters:

name - name of the field to get, not null

Returns:

true if the field exists, false otherwise

See Also:

• getFields()

getValue

public final <T> T getValue(String name)

Returns the value of the field with the given name.

The return type may be a primitive type or a subclass of RecordedObject.

It's possible to index into a nested object by using "." (for instance "thread.group.parent.name").

A field might change or be removed in a future JDK release. A best practice for callers of this method is to validate the field before attempting access.

Example

if (event.hasField("intValue")) {
    int intValue = event.getValue("intValue");
    System.out.println("Int value: " + intValue);
}

if (event.hasField("objectClass")) {
    RecordedClass clazz = event.getValue("objectClass");
    System.out.println("Class name: " + clazz.getName());
}

if (event.hasField("sampledThread")) {
    RecordedThread sampledThread = event.getValue("sampledThread");
    System.out.println("Sampled thread: " + sampledThread.getJavaName());
}

Type Parameters:
