Constructor Detail

CIMMethod

public CIMMethod(String pName,
                 CIMDataType pType,
                 CIMQualifier<?>[] pQualis,
                 CIMParameter<?>[] pParams,
                 boolean pPropagated,
                 String pOriginClass)

Constructs a CIMMethod object with the specified information.

Parameters:

pName - The name of the method.

pType - The data type of the method.

pQualis - The method qualifiers.

pParams - The array of parameters for this method.

pPropagated - Is this method propagated from the superclass.

pOriginClass - The class this method was defined or overridden in.

Method Detail

equals

public boolean equals(Object pObj)

Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and is a CIMMethod object that represents the same value as this object.

Overrides:

equals in class CIMTypedElement

Parameters:

pObj - The object to compare.

Returns:

true if the objects are the same; false otherwise.

filter

public CIMMethod<E> filter(boolean pIncludeQualifiers,
                           boolean pIncludeClassOrigin)

Returns a CIMMethod filtered as specified.

Parameters:

pIncludeQualifiers - If true all qualifiers are returned; otherwise no qualifiers.

pIncludeClassOrigin - If true the class origin is included; otherwise no class origin is present.

Returns:

A filtered CIMMethod.

filter

public CIMMethod<E> filter(boolean pIncludeQualifiers,
                           boolean pIncludeClassOrigin,
                           boolean pLocalOnly)

Returns a CIMMethod filtered as specified.

Parameters:

pIncludeQualifiers - If true all qualifiers are returned; otherwise no qualifiers.

pIncludeClassOrigin - If true the class origin is included; otherwise no class origin is present

pLocalOnly - If true only the qualifiers defined on this class are included; otherwise all qualifiers are included.

Returns:

A filtered CIMMethod.

getOriginClass

public String getOriginClass()

Returns the class name in which this method was defined or overridden.

Returns:

Name of class where this property was defined.

getParameter

public CIMParameter<?> getParameter(String pName)

Get the parameter that matches the specified name.

Parameters:

pName - The name of the CIMParameter to retrieve.

Returns:

CIMParameter matching the name specified; otherwise null.

getParameters

public CIMParameter<?>[] getParameters()

Returns an array of the parameters for this method.

Returns:

The parameters for this method.

getQualifier

public CIMQualifier<?> getQualifier(int pIndex)
                             throws ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

Get a qualifier by index.

Specified by:

getQualifier in interface CIMQualifiedElementInterface

Parameters:

pIndex - The index of the qualifier.

Returns:

The Qualifier at index pIndex.

Throws:

ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

getQualifier

public CIMQualifier<?> getQualifier(String pName)

Gets a qualifier by name.

Specified by:

getQualifier in interface CIMQualifiedElementInterface

Parameters:

pName - The name of the qualifier to get.

Returns:

null if the qualifier does not exist, otherwise returns the reference to the qualifier.

getQualifierCount

public int getQualifierCount()

Get the number of qualifiers defined for this CIM Method.

Specified by:

getQualifierCount in interface CIMQualifiedElementInterface

Returns:

The number of qualifiers.

getQualifiers

public CIMQualifier<?>[] getQualifiers()

Returns the list of qualifiers for this class.

Specified by:

getQualifiers in interface CIMQualifiedElementInterface

Returns:

Qualifiers for this class.

getQualifierValue

public Object getQualifierValue(String pName)

Gets a qualifier value by name.

Specified by:

getQualifierValue in interface CIMQualifiedElementInterface

Parameters:

pName - The name of the qualifier to get.

Returns:

null if the qualifier does not exist or value is null, otherwise returns the reference to the qualifier.

hasQualifier

public boolean hasQualifier(String pName)

Checks whether the specified qualifier is one of the qualifiers in this CIM method.

Specified by:

hasQualifier in interface CIMQualifiedElementInterface

Parameters:

pName - The name of the qualifier.

Returns:

true if the qualifier exists in this CIM method, otherwise false.

hasQualifierValue

public boolean hasQualifierValue(String pName,
                                 Object pValue)

Specified by:

hasQualifierValue in interface CIMQualifiedElementInterface

Parameters:

pName - The name of the qualifier.

pValue - The value to be tested.

Returns:

true if the qualifier exists and has this value, otherwise false.

isPropagated

public boolean isPropagated()

Determines if this method is Propagated.

Returns:

true if this method is propagated.

toString

public String toString()

Returns a String representation of the CIMMethod. This method is intended to be used only for debugging purposes, and the format of the returned string may vary between implementations. The returned string may be empty but may not be null.

Overrides:
