Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| sessionId | Yes | ||
| file | Yes | Path to the source file or Java FQCN. For Java, passing a fully-qualified class name (e.g. "com.example.MyClass" or "com.example.Outer$Inner") is preferred — it works reliably with all classloaders including custom classloaders. Alternatively, use absolute file paths. | |
| line | Yes | Line number where to set breakpoint. Executable statements (assignments, function calls, conditionals, returns) work best. Structural lines (function/class definitions), declarative lines (imports), or non-executable lines (comments, blank lines) may cause unexpected stepping behavior | |
| condition | No | ||
| suspendPolicy | No | Suspend policy when breakpoint is hit: "all" suspends all threads (default), "thread" only suspends the event thread. Only supported by the Java/JDI adapter. |
