Constructor Detail

StandardClassMetadata

public StandardClassMetadata(Class<?> introspectedClass)

Create a new StandardClassMetadata wrapper for the given Class.

Parameters:

introspectedClass - the Class to introspect

Method Detail

getIntrospectedClass

public final Class<?> getIntrospectedClass()

Return the underlying Class.

getClassName

public String getClassName()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return the name of the underlying class.

Specified by:

getClassName in interface ClassMetadata

isInterface

public boolean isInterface()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return whether the underlying class represents an interface.

Specified by:

isInterface in interface ClassMetadata

isAnnotation

public boolean isAnnotation()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return whether the underlying class represents an annotation.

Specified by:

isAnnotation in interface ClassMetadata

isAbstract

public boolean isAbstract()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return whether the underlying class is marked as abstract.

Specified by:

isAbstract in interface ClassMetadata

isConcrete

public boolean isConcrete()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return whether the underlying class represents a concrete class, i.e. neither an interface nor an abstract class.

Specified by:

isConcrete in interface ClassMetadata

isFinal

public boolean isFinal()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return whether the underlying class is marked as 'final'.

Specified by:

isFinal in interface ClassMetadata

isIndependent

public boolean isIndependent()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Determine whether the underlying class is independent, i.e. whether it is a top-level class or a nested class (static inner class) that can be constructed independently from an enclosing class.

Specified by:

isIndependent in interface ClassMetadata

hasEnclosingClass

public boolean hasEnclosingClass()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return whether the underlying class is declared within an enclosing class (i.e. the underlying class is an inner/nested class or a local class within a method).

If this method returns false, then the underlying class is a top-level class.

Specified by:

hasEnclosingClass in interface ClassMetadata

getEnclosingClassName

@Nullable
public String getEnclosingClassName()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return the name of the enclosing class of the underlying class, or null if the underlying class is a top-level class.

Specified by:

getEnclosingClassName in interface ClassMetadata

hasSuperClass

public boolean hasSuperClass()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return whether the underlying class has a super class.

Specified by:

hasSuperClass in interface ClassMetadata

getSuperClassName

@Nullable
public String getSuperClassName()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return the name of the super class of the underlying class, or null if there is no super class defined.

Specified by:

getSuperClassName in interface ClassMetadata

getInterfaceNames

public String[] getInterfaceNames()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return the names of all interfaces that the underlying class implements, or an empty array if there are none.

Specified by:

getInterfaceNames in interface ClassMetadata

getMemberClassNames

public String[] getMemberClassNames()

Description copied from interface: ClassMetadata

Return the names of all classes declared as members of the class represented by this ClassMetadata object. This includes public, protected, default (package) access, and private classes and interfaces declared by the class, but excludes inherited classes and interfaces. An empty array is returned if no member classes or interfaces exist.

Specified by:

getMemberClassNames in interface ClassMetadata
