Interface Value
- All Superinterfaces:
Mirror
- All Known Subinterfaces:
ArrayReference,BooleanValue,ByteValue,CharValue,ClassLoaderReference,ClassObjectReference,DoubleValue,FloatValue,IntegerValue,LongValue,ModuleReference,ObjectReference,PrimitiveValue,ShortValue,StringReference,ThreadGroupReference,ThreadReference,VoidValue
The mirror for a value in the target VM.
This interface is the root of a
value hierarchy encompassing primitive values and object values.
Some examples of where values may be accessed:
ObjectReference.getValue(Field)- value of a field StackFrame.getValue(LocalVariable)- value of a variable VirtualMachine.mirrorOf(double)- created in the target VM by the JDI client ModificationWatchpointEvent.valueToBe()- returned with an event
The following tables illustrate which subinterfaces of Value are used to mirror values in the target VM --

Is mirrored as an instance of |
