public interface VMDeathEvent extends Event
Notification of target VM termination.
This event occurs if the target VM terminates before the
VM disconnects (
VMDisconnectEvent).
Thus, this event will NOT occur if external forces terminate
the connection (e.g. a crash) or if the connection is intentionally
terminated with VirtualMachine.dispose()
On VM termination, a single unsolicited VMDeathEvent will always be sent with a
suspend policy
of SUSPEND_NONE.
Additional VMDeathEvents will be sent in the same event set if they are
requested with a VMDeathRequest.
The VM is still intact and can be queried at the point this
event was initiated but immediately thereafter it is not
considered intact and cannot be queried.
Note: If the enclosing EventSet has a
suspend policy other than
SUSPEND_ALL
the initiating point may be long past.
All VMDeathEvents will be in a single EventSet,
no other events will be in the event set. A resume
must occur to continue execution after any event set which
performs suspensions - in this case to allow proper shutdown.
