Class TypePlaceHolder

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.reflect.Type

    public class TypePlaceHolder
    extends ResolvedType
    Placeholder used for resolving type assignments to figure out type parameters for subtypes.
    • Field Detail

      • _ordinal

        protected final int _ordinal
      • _actualType

        protected ResolvedType _actualType
        Type assigned during wildcard resolution (which follows type structure resolution)
    • Constructor Detail

      • TypePlaceHolder

        public TypePlaceHolder​(int ordinal)
    • Method Detail

      • getParentClass

        public ResolvedType getParentClass()
        Description copied from class: ResolvedType
        Returns parent class of this type, if it has one; primitive types and interfaces have no parent class, nor does Object type Object. Also, placeholders for cyclic (recursive) types return null for this method.
        Specified by:
        getParentClass in class ResolvedType
      • getSelfReferencedType

        public ResolvedType getSelfReferencedType()
        Description copied from class: ResolvedType
        Accessor that must be used to find out actual type in case of "self-reference"; case where type refers recursive to itself (like, T implements Comparable<T>). For all other types returns null but for self-references "real" type. Separate accessor is provided to avoid accidental infinite loops.
        Specified by:
        getSelfReferencedType in class ResolvedType
      • getImplementedInterfaces

        public java.util.List<ResolvedType> getImplementedInterfaces()
        Description copied from class: ResolvedType
        Returns ordered list of interfaces (in declaration order) that this type implements.
        Specified by:
        getImplementedInterfaces in class ResolvedType
        Returns:
        List of interfaces this type implements, if any; empty list if none
      • getArrayElementType

        public ResolvedType getArrayElementType()
        Description copied from class: ResolvedType
        Method that can be used to access element type of array types; will return null for non-array types, and non-null type for array types.
        Specified by:
        getArrayElementType in class ResolvedType
      • isArray

        public boolean isArray()
        Description copied from class: ResolvedType
        Method that indicates whether this type is an array type.
        Specified by:
        isArray in class ResolvedType
      • isPrimitive

        public boolean isPrimitive()
        Description copied from class: ResolvedType
        Method that indicates whether this type is one of small number of primitive Java types; not including array types of primitive types but just basic primitive types.
        Specified by:
        isPrimitive in class ResolvedType
      • appendSignature

        public java.lang.StringBuilder appendSignature​(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)
        Specified by:
        appendSignature in class ResolvedType
      • appendErasedSignature

        public java.lang.StringBuilder appendErasedSignature​(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)
        Specified by:
        appendErasedSignature in class ResolvedType
      • appendBriefDescription

        public java.lang.StringBuilder appendBriefDescription​(java.lang.StringBuilder sb)
        Specified by:
