Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes
Modifier and Type	Interface	Description
`static class`	`AgentBuilder.DescriptionStrategy.Default`	Default implementations of a `AgentBuilder.DescriptionStrategy`.
`static class`	`AgentBuilder.DescriptionStrategy.SuperTypeLoading`	A description strategy that enforces the loading of any super type of a type description but delegates the actual type description to another description strategy.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`TypeDescription`	`apply(java.lang.String name, java.lang.Class<?> type, TypePool typePool, AgentBuilder.CircularityLock circularityLock, java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader, JavaModule module)`	Describes the given type.
`boolean`	`isLoadedFirst()`	Indicates if this description strategy makes use of loaded type information and yields a different type description if no loaded type is available.

- Method Detail
  - isLoadedFirst
```
boolean isLoadedFirst()
```
    Indicates if this description strategy makes use of loaded type information and yields a different type description if no loaded type is available.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this description strategy prefers loaded type information when describing a type and only uses a type pool if loaded type information is not available.
  - apply
```
TypeDescription apply(java.lang.String name,
                      @MaybeNull
                      java.lang.Class<?> type,
                      TypePool typePool,
                      AgentBuilder.CircularityLock circularityLock,
                      @MaybeNull
                      java.lang.ClassLoader classLoader,
                      @MaybeNull
                      JavaModule module)
```
    Describes the given type.
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - The binary name of the type to describe.
    
    type - The type that is being redefined, if a redefinition is applied or null if no redefined type is available.
    
    typePool - The type pool to use for locating a type if required.
    
    classLoader - The type's class loader where null represents the bootstrap class loader.
    
    circularityLock - The currently used circularity lock.
    
    module - The type's module or null if the current VM does not support modules.
    
    Returns:
    
    An appropriate type description.
