Load agent library - library name will be expanded in target VM.

Specified by:

loadAgentLibrary in class VirtualMachine

Parameters:

agentLibrary - The name of the agent library.

options - The options to provide to the Agent_OnAttach function (can be null).

Throws:

AgentLoadException - If the agent library does not exist, or cannot be loaded for another reason.

AgentInitializationException - If the Agent_OnAttach function returns an error

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs

                          java.io.IOException

Load agent - absolute path of library provided to target VM.

Specified by:

loadAgentPath in class VirtualMachine

Parameters:

agentLibrary - The full path of the agent library.

options - The options to provide to the Agent_OnAttach function (can be null).

Throws:

AgentLoadException - If the agent library does not exist, or cannot be loaded for another reason.

AgentInitializationException - If the Agent_OnAttach function returns an error

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs

                      AgentInitializationException,
                      java.io.IOException

Load JPLIS agent which will load the agent JAR file and invoke the agentmain method.

Specified by:

loadAgent in class VirtualMachine

Parameters:

agent - Path to the JAR file containing the agent.

options - The options to provide to the agent's agentmain method (can be null).

Throws:

AgentLoadException - If the agent does not exist, or cannot be started in the manner specified in the java.lang.instrument specification.

AgentInitializationException - If the agentmain throws an exception

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs

getSystemProperties

public java.util.Properties getSystemProperties()
                                         throws java.io.IOException

Send "properties" command to target VM.

Specified by:

getSystemProperties in class VirtualMachine

Returns:

The system properties

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs

getAgentProperties

public java.util.Properties getAgentProperties()
                                        throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: VirtualMachine

Returns the current agent properties in the target virtual machine.

The target virtual machine can maintain a list of properties on behalf of agents. The manner in which this is done, the names of the properties, and the types of values that are allowed, is implementation specific. Agent properties are typically used to store communication end-points and other agent configuration details. For example, a debugger agent might create an agent property for its transport address.

This method returns the agent properties whose key and value is a String. Properties whose key or value is not a String are omitted. If there are no agent properties maintained in the target virtual machine then an empty property list is returned.

Specified by:

getAgentProperties in class VirtualMachine

Returns:

The agent properties

Throws:

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs
