Request for notification when a field is set.
This event will be triggered when a value is assigned to the specified
field with a Java
TM programming
language statement (assignment, increment, etc) or by a
Java Native Interface (JNI) set function (
Set<Type>Field,
SetStatic<Type>Field
).
Setting a field to a value which is the same as the previous value
still triggers this event.
Modification by JDI does not trigger this event.
When an enabled
ModificationWatchpointRequest is satisfied, an
event set
containing a
ModificationWatchpointEvent
will be placed on
the
EventQueue
.
The collection of existing
watchpoints is
managed by the
EventRequestManager
.
