     31  * Represents a request for notification of an event.  Examples include
     32  * {@link BreakpointRequest} and {@link ExceptionRequest}.
     33  * When an event occurs for which an enabled request is present,
     34  * an  {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventSet EventSet} will
     35  * be placed on the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventQueue EventQueue}.
     36  * The collection of existing event requests is
     37  * managed by the {@link EventRequestManager}.
     38  * <p>
     39  * The number of events generated for an event request can be controlled
     40  * through filters. Filters provide additional constraints that an event
     41  * must satisfy before it is placed on the event queue. Multiple filters can
     42  * be used by making multiple calls to filter addition methods such as
     43  * {@link ExceptionRequest#addClassFilter(java.lang.String classPattern)}.
     44  * Filters are added to an event one at a time only while the event is
     45  * disabled. Multiple filters are applied with CUT-OFF AND, in the order
     46  * it was added to the request. Only events that satisfy all filters are
     47  * placed in the event queue.
     48  * <p>
     49  * The set of available filters is dependent on the event request,
     50  * some examples of filters are:
     51  * <ul>
     52  * <li>Thread filters allow control over the thread for which events are
     53  * generated.
     54  * <li>Class filters allow control over the class in which the event
     55  * occurs.
     56  * <li>Instance filters allow control over the instance in which
     57  * the event occurs.
     58  * <li>Count filters allow control over the number of times an event
     59  * is reported.
     60  * </ul>
     61  * Filters can dramatically improve debugger performance by reducing the
     62  * amount of event traffic sent from the target VM to the debugger VM.
     63  * <p>
     64  * Any method on <code>EventRequest</code> which
     65  * takes <code>EventRequest</code> as an parameter may throw
     66  * {@link com.sun.jdi.VMDisconnectedException} if the target VM is
     67  * disconnected and the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.VMDisconnectEvent} has been or is
     68  * available to be read from the {@link com.sun.jdi.event.EventQueue}.
     69  * <p>
     70  * Any method on <code>EventRequest</code> which
     71  * takes <code>EventRequest</code> as an parameter may throw
     72  * {@link com.sun.jdi.VMOutOfMemoryException} if the target VM has run out of memory.
