Class ResolvedRecursiveType

java.lang.Object

com.fasterxml.classmate.ResolvedType

com.fasterxml.classmate.types.ResolvedRecursiveType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Type

public class ResolvedRecursiveType
extends ResolvedType

Specialized type placeholder used in cases where type definition is recursive; to avoid infinite loop, reference that would be "back" in hierarchy is represented by an instance of this class. Underlying information is achievable (for full resolution), but not exposed using super type (parent) accessors; and has special handling when used for constructing descriptions.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
StringBuilder	appendBriefDescription(StringBuilder sb)
StringBuilder	appendErasedSignature(StringBuilder sb)
StringBuilder	appendFullDescription(StringBuilder sb)
StringBuilder	appendSignature(StringBuilder sb)
boolean	canCreateSubtypes()	Method that can be used to check if call to TypeResolver.resolveSubtype(ResolvedType, Class) may ever succeed; if false, it will fail with an exception, if true, it may succeed.
boolean	equals(Object o)
ResolvedType	getArrayElementType()	To avoid infinite loops, will return null type
List<RawConstructor>	getConstructors()
List<ResolvedType>	getImplementedInterfaces()	To avoid infinite loops, will return empty list
List<RawField>	getMemberFields()
List<RawMethod>	getMemberMethods()
ResolvedType	getParentClass()	To avoid infinite loops, will return null;
ResolvedType	getSelfReferencedType()	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>).
List<RawField>	getStaticFields()
List<RawMethod>	getStaticMethods()
boolean	isAbstract()
boolean	isArray()	Method that indicates whether this type is an array type.
boolean	isInterface()
boolean	isPrimitive()	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.
void	setReference(ResolvedType ref)

Method Detail

canCreateSubtypes

public boolean canCreateSubtypes()

Description copied from class: ResolvedType

Method that can be used to check if call to TypeResolver.resolveSubtype(ResolvedType, Class) may ever succeed; if false, it will fail with an exception, if true, it may succeed.

Specified by:

canCreateSubtypes in class ResolvedType

setReference

public void setReference(ResolvedType ref)

getParentClass

public ResolvedType getParentClass()

To avoid infinite loops, will return null;

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 List<ResolvedType> getImplementedInterfaces()

To avoid infinite loops, will return empty list

Specified by:

getImplementedInterfaces in class ResolvedType

Returns:

List of interfaces this type implements, if any; empty list if none

getArrayElementType

public ResolvedType getArrayElementType()

To avoid infinite loops, will return null type

Specified by:

getArrayElementType in class ResolvedType

isInterface

public boolean isInterface()

Specified by:

isInterface in class ResolvedType

isAbstract

public boolean isAbstract()

Specified by:

isAbstract in class ResolvedType

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:
