GenericClass

public GenericClass(GenericReflector reflector,
            ReflectClass delegateClass,
            java.lang.String name,

Method Detail

arrayClass

public GenericClass arrayClass()

deepClone

public java.lang.Object deepClone(java.lang.Object obj)

Description copied from interface: DeepClone

The parameter allows passing one new object so parent references can be corrected on children.

Specified by:

deepClone in interface DeepClone

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

getComponentType

public ReflectClass getComponentType()

Specified by:

getComponentType in interface ReflectClass

getDeclaredField

public ReflectField getDeclaredField(java.lang.String name)

Specified by:

getDeclaredField in interface ReflectClass

getDeclaredFields

public ReflectField[] getDeclaredFields()

Specified by:

getDeclaredFields in interface ReflectClass

getDelegate

public ReflectClass getDelegate()

Description copied from interface: ReflectClass

Returns the ReflectClass instance being delegated to. If there's no delegation it should return this.

Specified by:

getDelegate in interface ReflectClass

Returns:

delegate or this

getMethod

public ReflectMethod getMethod(java.lang.String methodName,
                      ReflectClass[] paramClasses)

Specified by:

getMethod in interface ReflectClass

getName

public java.lang.String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface ReflectClass

getSuperclass

public ReflectClass getSuperclass()

Specified by:

getSuperclass in interface ReflectClass

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

initFields

public void initFields(GenericField[] fields)

isAbstract

public boolean isAbstract()

Specified by:

isAbstract in interface ReflectClass

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Specified by:

isArray in interface ReflectClass

isAssignableFrom

public boolean isAssignableFrom(ReflectClass subclassCandidate)

Specified by:

isAssignableFrom in interface ReflectClass

isCollection

public boolean isCollection()

Specified by:

isCollection in interface ReflectClass

isInstance

public boolean isInstance(java.lang.Object candidate)

Specified by:

isInstance in interface ReflectClass

isInterface

public boolean isInterface()

Specified by:

isInterface in interface ReflectClass

isPrimitive

public boolean isPrimitive()

Specified by:

isPrimitive in interface ReflectClass

newInstance

public java.lang.Object newInstance()

Specified by:

newInstance in interface ReflectClass

reflector

public Reflector reflector()

Specified by:

reflector in interface ReflectClass

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString(java.lang.Object obj)

ensureCanBeInstantiated

public boolean ensureCanBeInstantiated()

Description copied from interface: ReflectClass

Calling this method may change the internal state of the class, even if a usable constructor has been found on earlier invocations.

Specified by:

ensureCanBeInstantiated in interface ReflectClass

Returns:

true, if instances of this class can be created, false otherwise

nullValue

public java.lang.Object nullValue()

Specified by:

nullValue in interface ReflectClass

isImmutable

public boolean isImmutable()

Description copied from interface: ReflectClass

We need this for replication, to find out if a class needs to be traversed or if it simply can be copied across. For now we will simply return the classes that are ReflectClass.isPrimitive() and Platform4.isSimple(Class) We can think about letting users add an Immutable annotation.

Specified by:

isImmutable in interface ReflectClass
