Method Summary

Modifier and TypeMethod and Description
public boolean
accessibleTo(final ObjectType accessor)

Java Virtual Machine Specification edition 2, 5.4.4 Access Control

public boolean

Returns:

true if both type objects refer to the same class.
equals
(final Object type)

Overrides com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

public String
getClassName()

Overrides com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type.getClassName.

Returns: name of referenced class

public static ObjectType

Returns:

a new instance.
getInstance
(final String
fully qualified class name, e.g. java.lang.String
className
)

Constructs a new instance.

public int

Returns:

a hash code value for the object.
hashCode
()

Overrides com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for this object.

public boolean
referencesClass()
Deprecated (since 6.0) this method returns an inaccurate result if the class or interface referenced cannot be found: use referencesClassExact() instead

If "this" doesn't reference a class, it references an interface or a non-existant entity.

public boolean

Returns:

true if the type references a class, false if it references an interface
referencesClassExact
()

Return true if this type references a class, false if it references an interface.

public boolean
referencesInterface()
Deprecated (since 6.0) this method returns an inaccurate result if the class or interface referenced cannot be found: use referencesInterfaceExact() instead

If "this" doesn't reference an interface, it references a class or a non-existant entity.

public boolean

Returns:

true if the type references an interface, false if it references a class
referencesInterfaceExact
()

Return true if this type references an interface, false if it references a class.

public boolean
subclassOf(final ObjectType superclass)

Return true if this type is a subclass of given ObjectType.

equalsback to summary
public boolean equals(final Object type)

Overrides com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type.equals.

Doc from java.lang.Object.equals.

Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.

The equals method implements an equivalence relation on non-null object references:

  • It is reflexive: for any non-null reference value x, x.equals(x) should return true.
  • It is symmetric: for any non-null reference values x and y, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
  • It is transitive: for any non-null reference values x, y, and z, if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.
  • It is consistent: for any non-null reference values x and y, multiple invocations of x.equals(y) consistently return true or consistently return false, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the objects is modified.
  • For any non-null reference value x, x.equals(null) should return false.

An equivalence relation partitions the elements it operates on into equivalence classes; all the members of an equivalence class are equal to each other. Members of an equivalence class are substitutable for each other, at least for some purposes.

Returns:boolean

true if both type objects refer to the same class.

hashCodeback to summary
public int hashCode()

Overrides com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.Type.hashCode.

Doc from java.lang.Object.hashCode.

Returns a hash code value for this object. This method is supported for the benefit of hash tables such as those provided by java.util.HashMap.

The general contract of hashCode is:

  • Whenever it is invoked on the same object more than once during an execution of a Java application, the hashCode method must consistently return the same integer, provided no information used in equals comparisons on the object is modified. This integer need not remain consistent from one execution of an application to another execution of the same application.
  • If two objects are equal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce the same integer result.
  • It is not required that if two objects are unequal according to the equals method, then calling the hashCode method on each of the two objects must produce distinct integer results. However, the programmer should be aware that producing distinct integer results for unequal objects may improve the performance of hash tables.
Returns:int

a hash code value for the object.
