Unwraps the method underlying object and returns it.

Returns:

the wrapped method

getName

java.lang.String getName()

Returns the method name.

Returns:

the method name

getOwner

ClassTypeInfo getOwner()

Returns the class type owning this method.

Returns:

the class type

getReturnType

TypeInfo getReturnType()

Returns the return type.

Returns:

the return type

getParameterTypes

java.util.List<TypeInfo> getParameterTypes()

Returns the list of type parameter of this method.

Returns:

the parameter types

getParameterNames

java.util.List<java.lang.String> getParameterNames()

Returns the parameter names of the method or null if the parameter names cannot be determined.

Returns:

the method parameter names

getSignature

MethodSignature getSignature()

Returns the method signature.

Returns:

the method signature

getSignature

MethodSignature getSignature(ClassTypeInfo context)

Resolves a type signature with a provided class type context.

For instance, let's consider the following class: public class A implements java.util.List { ... public boolean add(String e) { ... } ... } Whenever you resolve the method List.add(Object) from the List interface within the context of the A class, you will obtain the signature add(String e) instead of the add(Object e) signature.

Parameters:

context - the class type context

Returns:

the signature with respect to the provided context

isAbstract

boolean isAbstract()

Returns true when the method getType() returns the value MethodType.ABSTRACT.

Returns:

true when the method is abstract

getType()

isNative

boolean isNative()

Returns true when the method getType() returns the value MethodType.NATIVE.

Returns:

true when the method is native

See Also:

getType()

isConcrete

boolean isConcrete()

Returns true when the method getType() returns the value MethodType.CONCRETE.
