Constructor Detail

ObjectIdentifier

public ObjectIdentifier(ResolutionType resolutionType,
                        Type type,
                        Annotation... annotations)

Method Detail

getResolutionType

public ResolutionType getResolutionType()

Returns:

the resolution type (scope) requested for the object

getType

public Type getType()

Returns the type of the requested object. In general this is the type as returned by Field.getGenericType() or similar: it is a Type, which may be a Class for simple types or types where no generic information is provided, or it may be a ParameterizedType for types with generic information. Other extensions of Type are not supported by default.

Use getTypeAsClass() to get the type as a Class safely. See ReflectionUtils for performing further operations on the type.

Returns:

the type

getTypeAsClass

public Class<?> getTypeAsClass()

Returns the type of the requested object as a Class. If the type is a type with generic information, the returned class is the raw type without the generic information (e.g. List if the type represents List<String>).

Returns:

the type as class

getAnnotations

public List<Annotation> getAnnotations()

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
