This is a GUI, that is able to show/browse any java instance. The GUI is constructed through a jartifex xml file.
The ObjectBrowser shows you the following:
- Name: Name of the class of the iinstance
- Path: Path where the Classloaderr gets the class
- Hierarchy: Selectionbox holding the super classes of the current classes
- Methodpar: Editable field. Lets you input some ','-separated parameters for a selected method
- MemberTree: Shows you all memberrs of your current instance
- SelectedItem: Shows you the conttent of the selected member.
- Back-Button: browse back
- Refresh-Button: refresh the listt of members
- Browse-Button: browse to the sellected member
- Open-Button: Lets you select andd open a serialized java object
Start
You can start it through the Shell (shell.bat -->objectbrowser),
because, it makes no sense to start it as a standalone application.
Showing the content of a member
If you double click a member (attribute or method) in the tree view, the content or return object
of this member will be shown inside the table 'Content of selected Tree element'.
If the selected method needs parameters, you can give them through the field 'Methodparameter'.
It's only for simple arguments like Strings, Numbers and Dates. If it has to be more than one arguments,
separate the arguments with a ',' sign.
Browsing to a member
The prinzip is the same as in 'Showing the content of a member', but you only select the member
and click the button 'Browse'. This is the button with the zoomglas (the third one).
This actualizes the view showing now the selected member properties.
