Class TypeVariable

java.lang.Object
org.jboss.jandex.Type
org.jboss.jandex.TypeVariable
public final class TypeVariable extends Type
Represents a resolved type parameter or type argument. The name() of this type variable corresponds to the raw type name. For type variables, the raw type name is the first upper bound. The identifier() is the name of the type variable as present in the source code.

For example: 

 T extends Number
In this case, the identifier is T, while the name is java.lang.Number.

  • Method Details

    • name

      public DotName name()
      Description copied from class: Type
      Returns the raw name of this type. Primitives and void are returned as the Java keyword (void, boolean, byte, short, int, long, float, double, char). Arrays are returned using the Java reflection array syntax (e.g. [[[Ljava.lang.String;) Classes are returned as a normal DotName.

      Generic values are returned as the underlying raw value. For example, a wildcard such as ? extends Number has a raw type of Number.

      Overrides:
      name in class Type
      Returns:
      the name of this type

    • identifier

      public String identifier()
      The identifier of this type variable as it appears in Java source code.

      The following class has a type parameter, with an identifier of "T": 

       class Foo<T extends Number> {
 }
      Returns:
      the identifier of this type variable

    • bounds

      public List<Type> bounds()

    • kind

      public Type.Kind kind()
      Description copied from class: Type
      Returns the kind of Type this is.
      Specified by:
      kind in class Type
      Returns:
      the kind

    • asTypeVariable

      public TypeVariable asTypeVariable()
      Description copied from class: Type
      Casts this type to a TypeVariable and returns it if the kind is Type.Kind.TYPE_VARIABLE. Throws an exception otherwise.
      Overrides:
      asTypeVariable in class Type
      Returns:
      a TypeVariable

    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object o)
      Description copied from class: Type
      Compares this Type with another type. A type is equal to another type if it is of the same kind, and all of their fields are equal. This includes annotations, which must be equal as well.
      Overrides:
      equals in class Type
      Parameters:
      o - the type to compare to
      Returns:
      true if equal
