Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public String	Returns: a string containing the JNI signature of array components. componentSignature() Gets the JNI signature of the components of this array class.
public Type	Returns: the `Type` of this array's components. componentType() Returns the component type of this array, as specified in the array declaration.
public String	Returns: a text representation of the component type. componentTypeName() Returns a text representation of the component type of this array.
public ArrayReference	Returns: the newly created `ArrayReference` mirroring the new object in the target VM. newInstance(int the number of components in the new array length) Creates a new instance of this array class in the target VM.

Method Detail

componentSignature	back to summary
public String componentSignature() Gets the JNI signature of the components of this array class. The signature describes the declared type of the components. If the components are objects, their actual type in a particular run-time context may be a subclass of the declared class. Returns:String a string containing the JNI signature of array components.

componentSignature

public String componentSignature()

Gets the JNI signature of the components of this array class. The signature describes the declared type of the components. If the components are objects, their actual type in a particular run-time context may be a subclass of the declared class.

Returns:String: a string containing the JNI signature of array components.

componentType back to summary

componentType	back to summary
public Type componentType() throws ClassNotLoadedException Returns the component type of this array, as specified in the array declaration. Note The component type of a array will always be created or loaded before the array - see The Java Virtual Machine Specification, section 5.3.3 - Creating Array Classes. However, although the component type will be loaded it may not yet be prepared, in which case the type will be returned but attempts to perform some operations on the returned type (e.g. `fields()`) will throw a `ClassNotPreparedException`. Use `ReferenceType#isPrepared()` to determine if a reference type is prepared. Returns:Type the `Type` of this array's components. See Also `Type`, `Field.type() - for usage examples`

public Type componentType() throws ClassNotLoadedException

Returns the component type of this array, as specified in the array declaration.

Note

The component type of a array will always be created or loaded before the array - see The Java Virtual Machine Specification, section 5.3.3 - Creating Array Classes. However, although the component type will be loaded it may not yet be prepared, in which case the type will be returned but attempts to perform some operations on the returned type (e.g. fields()) will throw a ClassNotPreparedException. Use ReferenceType#isPrepared() to determine if a reference type is prepared.

Returns:Type: the Type of this array's components.
See Also: Type, Field.type() - for usage examples

componentTypeName	back to summary
public String componentTypeName() Returns a text representation of the component type of this array. Returns:String a text representation of the component type.

componentTypeName

back to summary

public String componentTypeName()

Returns a text representation of the component type of this array.

Returns:String: a text representation of the component type.

newInstance back to summary

newInstance	back to summary
public ArrayReference newInstance(int length) Creates a new instance of this array class in the target VM. The array is created with the given length and each component is initialized to is standard default value. Parameters length:int the number of components in the new array Returns:ArrayReference the newly created `ArrayReference` mirroring the new object in the target VM. Exceptions VMCannotBeModifiedException: if the VirtualMachine is read-only - see `VirtualMachine#canBeModified()`.

public ArrayReference newInstance(int length)

Creates a new instance of this array class in the target VM. The array is created with the given length and each component is initialized to is standard default value.

Parameters

length:int: the number of components in the new array

Returns:ArrayReference

the newly created ArrayReference mirroring the new object in the target VM.

Exceptions

VMCannotBeModifiedException:: if the VirtualMachine is read-only - see VirtualMachine#canBeModified().
