Method Detail

validate

public abstract boolean validate(Object object)

Description copied from interface: Type

Tests whether the given object is of this type.

Specified by:

validate in interface Type

Overrides:

validate in class AbstractType

Parameters:

object - the object to test

Returns:

true if the given object if of this type, false otherwise

getSuperType

public Type getSuperType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Gets the super type.

Specified by:

getSuperType in interface Type

Overrides:

getSuperType in class AbstractType

Returns:

the super type or null if this is a primitive type

getTypeHierarchy

public Type[] getTypeHierarchy()

Description copied from interface: Type

Gets the entire hierarchy of super-types.

The array is ordered as follows:

• the direct super type is the first element,
• the super super type is the second element,
• and so on.

The returned array is never null. An empty array is returned in the case of ANY type.

Specified by:

getTypeHierarchy in interface Type

Overrides:

getTypeHierarchy in class AbstractType

Returns:

an array containing the supertypes of this type

isPrimitive

public boolean isPrimitive()

Description copied from interface: SimpleType

Tests whether this type is a primitive type.

Specified by:

isPrimitive in interface SimpleType

Returns:

true if this type is a primitive type, false otherwise

isSimpleType

public boolean isSimpleType()

Description copied from interface: Type

Tests whether this type is a simple type.

Specified by:

isSimpleType in interface Type

Overrides:

isSimpleType in class AbstractType

Returns:

true if this type is a simple type, false otherwise

getPrimitiveType

public SimpleType getPrimitiveType()

Specified by:

getPrimitiveType in interface SimpleType

getRef

public TypeRef<PrimitiveType> getRef()

Description copied from interface: Type

Gets a proxy (or reference to this type).

Specified by:

getRef in interface SimpleType

Specified by:

getRef in interface Type

Overrides:

getRef in class AbstractType

Returns:

a reference to the type
