Interface PayloadInfo

public interface PayloadInfo

A payload info represents a verbose description that can be added added to the current call stack together with associated timing information. Payload infos are created with factory methods in the interceptor context class and can have optional memento objects that help you keep additional state if the payload info is handled in different contexts, such as interception entry and interception exit.

A typical example for payload is the SQL string that is displayed by the built-in JDBC probe.

Method Summary

PayloadInfo	calculateTime() Calculates the elapsed time since the creation of the payload and save it in the payload info.
PayloadInfo	discardTime() Discards the associated timing information in the payload, so that the displayed time in the JProfiler GUI will be zero.
java.lang.String	getDescription() Returns the description for the payload info.
java.lang.Object	getMemento() Retrieves the memento object.
void	setDescription(java.lang.String description) Sets the description for the payload info.
void	setMemento(java.lang.Object memento) Sets the memento object.

Method Detail

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription()

Returns the description for the payload info.

Returns:

the description

setDescription

void setDescription(java.lang.String description)

Sets the description for the payload info.

Parameters:

description - the description

getMemento

java.lang.Object getMemento()

Retrieves the memento object.

Returns:

the memento object, can be null

setMemento

void setMemento(java.lang.Object memento)

Sets the memento object. When you are finished with the payload info (for example when you add it to the call tree), you might want to set the memento object to null, to prevent possible memory leaks.

Parameters:

memento - the memento object, can be null

calculateTime

PayloadInfo calculateTime()

Calculates the elapsed time since the creation of the payload and save it in the payload info. This timing information is displayed in the hot spots view of the probe. If the probe annotates data into the call tree, it is also displayed in the call tree view.

Returns:

this object

discardTime

PayloadInfo discardTime()

Discards the associated timing information in the payload, so that the displayed time in the JProfiler GUI will be zero.

Returns:

this object
