package java.lang.management;

The management interface for the class loading system of the Java virtual machine.

A Java virtual machine has a single instance of the implementation class of this interface. This instance implementing this interface is an MXBean that can be obtained by calling the ManagementFactory.getClassLoadingMXBean method or from the platform MBeanServer.

The ObjectName for uniquely identifying the MXBean for the class loading system within an MBeanServer is:

java.lang:type=ClassLoading
It can be obtained by calling the PlatformManagedObject.getObjectName method.

Tests if the verbose output for the class loading system is enabled.
Returns:true if the verbose output for the class loading system is enabled; false otherwise.

public boolean isVerbose();
Enables or disables the verbose output for the class loading system. The verbose output information and the output stream to which the verbose information is emitted are implementation dependent. Typically, a Java virtual machine implementation prints a message each time a class file is loaded.

This method can be called by multiple threads concurrently. Each invocation of this method enables or disables the verbose output globally.

Params:
  • value – true to enable the verbose output; false to disable.
Throws:
  • SecurityException – if a security manager exists and the caller does not have ManagementPermission("control").
