Class<S>	getType() Returns the type of the property.
List<TypeInformation<?>>	getTypeArguments() Returns the TypeInformation for the type arguments of the current TypeInformation.
protected Map<TypeVariable,Type>	getTypeVariableMap() Returns the type variable map.
int	hashCode()
boolean	isAssignableFrom(TypeInformation<?> target) Returns if the current TypeInformation can be safely assigned to the given one.
boolean	isCollectionLike() Returns whether the type can be considered a collection, which means it's a container of elements, e.g. a Collection and Array or anything implementing Iterable.
boolean	isMap() Returns whether the property is a Map.
protected Class<S>	resolveType(Type type) Resolves the given type into a plain Class.

Method Detail

from

public static <S> TypeInformation<S> from(Class<S> type)

Simple factory method to easily create new instances of ClassTypeInformation.

Type Parameters:

S -

Parameters:

type -

Returns:

fromReturnTypeOf

public static <S> TypeInformation<S> fromReturnTypeOf(Method method)

Creates a TypeInformation from the given method's return type.

Parameters:

method -

Returns:

getType

public Class<S> getType()

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns the type of the property. Will resolve generics and the generic context of

Specified by:

getType in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

isAssignableFrom

public boolean isAssignableFrom(TypeInformation<?> target)

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns if the current TypeInformation can be safely assigned to the given one. Mimics semantics of Class.isAssignableFrom(Class) but takes generics into account. Thus it will allow to detect that a List<Long> is assignable to List<? extends Number>.

Specified by:

isAssignableFrom in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

getTypeVariableMap

protected Map<TypeVariable,Type> getTypeVariableMap()

Returns the type variable map. Will traverse the parents up to the root on and use it's map.

Returns:

createInfo

protected TypeInformation<?> createInfo(Type fieldType)

Creates TypeInformation for the given Type.

Parameters:

fieldType -

Returns:

resolveType

protected Class<S> resolveType(Type type)

Resolves the given type into a plain Class.

Parameters:

type -

Returns:

getParameterTypes

public List<TypeInformation<?>> getParameterTypes(Constructor<?> constructor)

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns the TypeInformations for the parameters of the given Constructor.

Specified by:

getParameterTypes in interface TypeInformation<S>

Parameters:

constructor - must not be null.

Returns:

getProperty

public TypeInformation<?> getProperty(String fieldname)

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns the property information for the property with the given name. Supports proeprty traversal through dot notation.

Specified by:

getProperty in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

getActualType

public TypeInformation<?> getActualType()

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Transparently returns the Map value type if the type is a Map, returns the component type if the type TypeInformation.isCollectionLike() or the simple type if none of this applies.

Specified by:

getActualType in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

isMap

public boolean isMap()

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns whether the property is a Map. If this returns true you can expect TypeInformation.getComponentType() as well as TypeInformation.getMapValueType() to return something not null.

Specified by:

isMap in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

getMapValueType

public TypeInformation<?> getMapValueType()

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Will return the type of the value in case the underlying type is a Map.

Specified by:

getMapValueType in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

isCollectionLike

public boolean isCollectionLike()

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns whether the type can be considered a collection, which means it's a container of elements, e.g. a Collection and Array or anything implementing Iterable. If this returns true you can expect TypeInformation.getComponentType() to return a non-null value.

Specified by:

isCollectionLike in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

getComponentType

public TypeInformation<?> getComponentType()

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns the component type for Collections or the key type for Maps.

Specified by:

getComponentType in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

getReturnType

public TypeInformation<?> getReturnType(Method method)

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns a TypeInformation for the return type of the given Method. Will potentially resolve generics information against the current types type parameter bindings.

Specified by:

getReturnType in interface TypeInformation<S>

Parameters:

method - must not be null.

Returns:

getParameterTypes

public List<TypeInformation<?>> getParameterTypes(Method method)

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns the TypeInformations for the parameters of the given Method.

Specified by:

getParameterTypes in interface TypeInformation<S>

Parameters:

method - must not be null.

Returns:

getSuperTypeInformation

public TypeInformation<?> getSuperTypeInformation(Class<?> superType)

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns the TypeInformation for the given raw super type.

Specified by:

getSuperTypeInformation in interface TypeInformation<S>

Parameters:

superType - must not be null.

Returns:

the TypeInformation for the given raw super type or null in case the current TypeInformation does not implement the given type.

getTypeArguments

public List<TypeInformation<?>> getTypeArguments()

Description copied from interface: TypeInformation

Returns the TypeInformation for the type arguments of the current TypeInformation.

Specified by:

getTypeArguments in interface TypeInformation<S>

Returns:

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Overrides:

equals in class Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object
