public class RecordedObject extends Object
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.

    • 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:
    • 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());
       }
