Method Details

isTransient

boolean isTransient()
             throws DebugException

Returns whether this variable is declared as transient.

Returns:

whether this variable has been declared as transient

Throws:

DebugException - if this method fails. Reasons include:

• Failure communicating with the VM. The DebugException's status code contains the underlying exception responsible for the failure.

isVolatile

boolean isVolatile()
            throws DebugException

Returns whether this variable is declared as volatile.

Returns:

whether this variable has been declared as volatile

Throws:

DebugException - if this method fails. Reasons include:

• Failure communicating with the VM. The DebugException's status code contains the underlying exception responsible for the failure.
