| Launches an application and connects to its VM. Properties
of the launch (possibly including options,
main class, and arguments) are specified in
arguments.
The argument map associates argument name strings to instances
of
Connector.Argument . The default argument map for a
connector can be obtained through
Connector.defaultArguments .
Argument map values can be changed, but map entries should not be
added or deleted.
A target VM launched by a launching connector is not
guaranteed to be stable until after the
com.sun.jdi.event.VMStartEvent has been
received.
Important note: If a target VM is launched through this
funcctions, its output and error streams must be read as it
executes. These streams are available through the
java.lang.Process Process object returned by
com.sun.jdi.VirtualMachine.process . If the streams are not periodically
read, the target VM will stop executing when the buffers for these
streams are filled.
Parameters:
arguments - the argument map to be used in launching the VM. the VirtualMachine mirror of the target VM.
throws:
java.io.IOException - when unable to launch. Specific exceptions are dependent on the Connector implementationin use.
throws:
IllegalConnectorArgumentsException - when one of the connector arguments is invalid.
throws:
VMStartException - when the VM was successfully launched, but terminated with an error before a connection could be established. |
