public class RemoteObject
extends RemoteValue
The RemoteObject class allows access to an object in a remote Java interpreter. Remote objects are not created by the local debugger, but are returned by the remote debugging agent when queried for the values of instance or static variables of known objects (such as classes), or from local (stack) variables. Each remote object has a reference cached by the remote Java interpreter, so that the object will not be garbage-collected during examination. The RemoteDebugger's gc() operation frees references to objects that are no longer being examined.

o setField 
  public void setField(String name,
                       boolean value) throws Exception
Set a boolean instance variable, specified by name. If the instance variable doesn't exist, an IllegalAccessException is thrown.
Parameters:

value - the value to use
o setField 
  public void setField(String name,
                       int value) throws Exception
Set an int instance variable, specified by name. If the instance variable doesn't exist, an IllegalAccessException is thrown.
Parameters:
name - the name of the instance variable
value - the value to use
o setField 
  public void setField(String name,
                       char value) throws Exception

value - the value to use
o setField 
  public void setField(String name,
                       long value) throws Exception

Parameters:
name - the name of the instance variable
value - the value to use
o setField 
  public void setField(String name,
                       float value) throws Exception
