Class TypeVariableSignature

    • Constructor Detail

      • TypeVariableSignature

        public TypeVariableSignature​(String typeVariableName)
        Parameters:
        typeVariableName - The type variable name.

    • Method Detail

      • getTypeVariableName

        public String getTypeVariableName()
        Get the name of the type variable.
        Returns:
        The type variable name.

      • getCorrespondingTypeParameter

        public TypeParameter getCorrespondingTypeParameter()
        Look up a type variable (e.g. "T") in the defining method and/or enclosing class' type parameters, and returns the type parameter with the same name (e.g. "T extends com.xyz.Cls").
        Returns:
        the type parameter (e.g. "T extends com.xyz.Cls", or simply "T" if the type parameter does not have any bounds). Returns null if a type parameter with the same name as the type variable could not be found (this should not in general happen, since type variables in successfully-compiled code should be able to be linked to the corresponding type parameter).

      • instantiate

        public Class<?> instantiate​(ScanResult scanResult)
        Description copied from class: TypeSignature
        Instantiate the type signature into a class reference. The ScanResult is used to ensure the correct classloader is used to load the class.
        Specified by:
        instantiate in class TypeSignature
        Parameters:
        scanResult - The scan result.
        Returns:
        The instantiation of the type signature as a Class<?>.

      • hashCode

        public int hashCode()
        Overrides:
        hashCode in class Object

      • toStringWithTypeBound

        public String toStringWithTypeBound()
        Returns the type variable along with its type bound, if available (e.g. "X extends xyz.Cls"). You can get this in structured from by calling getCorrespondingTypeParameter(). Returns just the type variable if there is no type bound, or if no type bound is known (i.e. if getCorrespondingTypeParameter() returns null).
        Returns:
        The string representation.
