Interface StackWalker.StackFrame

Enclosing class:
StackWalker

public static interface StackWalker.StackFrame
A StackFrame object represents a method invocation returned by StackWalker.

The getDeclaringClass() method may be unsupported as determined by the stack walking options of a stack walker.

      String getClassName()
      Gets the binary name of the declaring class of the method represented by this stack frame.
      Returns:
      the binary name of the declaring class of the method represented by this stack frame
      See Java Language Specification:
      13.1 The Form of a Binary
    • getMethodName

      String getMethodName()

      the name of the method represented by this stack frame
    • getDeclaringClass

      Class<?> getDeclaringClass()
      Gets the declaring Class for the method represented by this stack frame.
      Returns:
      the declaring Class of the method represented by this stack frame
      Throws:
      UnsupportedOperationException - if this StackWalker is not configured with Option.RETAIN_CLASS_REFERENCE.
    • getMethodType

      default MethodType getMethodType()
      Returns the MethodType representing the parameter types and the return type for the method represented by this stack frame.

    • getByteCodeIndex

      int getByteCodeIndex()
      Returns the index to the code array of the Code attribute containing the execution point represented by this stack frame. The code array gives the actual bytes of Java Virtual Machine code that implement the method.
      Returns:
      the index to the code array of the Code attribute containing the execution point represented by this stack frame, or a negative number if the method is native.
      See Java Virtual Machine Specification:
      4.7.3 The Code Attribute
    • getFileName

      String getFileName()
      Returns the name of the source file containing the execution point represented by this stack frame. Generally, this corresponds to the SourceFile attribute of the relevant class file as defined by The Java Virtual Machine Specification. In some systems, the name may refer to some source code unit other than a file, such as an entry in a source repository.
      Returns:
      the name of the file containing the execution point represented by this stack frame, or null if this information is unavailable.
      See Java Virtual Machine Specification:
      4.7.10 The SourceFile Attribute
    • getLineNumber

      int getLineNumber()
      Returns the line number of the source line containing the execution point represented by this stack frame. Generally, this is derived from the LineNumberTable attribute of the relevant class file as defined by The Java Virtual Machine Specification.
      Returns:
      the line number of the source line containing the execution point represented by this stack frame, or a negative number if this information is unavailable.
      See Java Virtual Machine Specification:
      4.7.12 The LineNumberTable Attribute
    • isNativeMethod

      boolean isNativeMethod()
      Returns true if the method containing the execution point represented by this stack frame is a native method.
      Returns:
      true if the method containing the execution point represented by this stack frame is a native method.
    • toStackTraceElement

      StackTraceElement toStackTraceElement()
      Gets a StackTraceElement for this stack frame.
      Returns:
      StackTraceElement for this stack frame.
