Method Detail

unableToReloadEvent

void unableToReloadEvent(java.lang.String typename,
                         java.lang.Class<?> clazz,
                         TypeDelta typeDelta,
                         java.lang.String encodedTimestamp)

Called when a type cannot be reloaded, due to a change being made that is not supported by the agent, for example when the set of interfaces for a type is changed. Note, the class is only truly defined to the VM once, and so the Class object (clazz parameter) is always the same for the same type (ignoring multiple classloader situations). It is passed here so that plugins processing events can clear any cached state related to it. The encodedTimestamp is an encoding of the ID that the agent has assigned to this reloaded version of this type. The TypeDelta (a work in progress) captures details about what changed in the type that could not be reloaded.

Parameters:

typename - the (dotted) type name, for example java.lang.String

clazz - the Class object that has been reloaded

typeDelta - encapsulates information about the changes made in this version of the type that prevented the reload

encodedTimestamp - an encoded time stamp for this version, containing chars (A-Za-z0-9)
