public class ClassHelper
extends Object

This class is a Helper for ClassNode and classes handling ClassNodes. It does contain a set of predefined ClassNodes for the most used types and some code for cached ClassNode creation and basic ClassNode handling

Method Detail

make

public static ClassNode[] make(Class[] classes)

Creates an array of ClassNodes using an array of classes. For each of the given classes a new ClassNode will be created

Parameters:

classes - an array of classes used to create the ClassNodes

Returns:

an array of ClassNodes

See Also:

make(Class)

make

public static ClassNode make(Class c)

Creates a ClassNode using a given class. A new ClassNode object is only created if the class is not one of the predefined ones

Parameters:

c - class used to created the ClassNode

Returns:

ClassNode instance created from the given class

makeWithoutCaching

public static ClassNode makeWithoutCaching(String name)

Creates a ClassNode using a given class. Unlike make(String) this method will not use the cache to create the ClassNode. This means the ClassNode created from this method using the same name will have a different references

Parameters:

name - of the class the ClassNode is representing

See Also:

make(String)

make

public static ClassNode make(String name)

Creates a ClassNode using a given class. If the name is one of the predefined ClassNodes then the corresponding ClassNode instance will be returned. If the is null of of length 0 the dynamic type is returned

Parameters:

name - of the class the ClassNode is representing

getWrapper

public static ClassNode getWrapper(ClassNode cn)

Creates a ClassNode containing the wrapper of a ClassNode of primitive type. Any ClassNode representing a primitive type should be created using the predefined types used in class. The method will check the parameter for known references of ClassNode representing a primitive type. If Reference is found, then a ClassNode will be contained that represents the wrapper class. For exmaple for boolean, the wrapper class is java.lang.Boolean. If the parameter is no primitve type, the redirected ClassNode will be returned

Parameters:

cn - the ClassNode containing a possible primitive type

See Also:

make(Class), make(String)

isPrimitiveType

public static boolean isPrimitiveType(ClassNode cn)

Test to determine if a ClasNode is a primitve type. Note: this only works for ClassNodes created using a predefined ClassNode

Parameters:

cn - the ClassNode containing a possible primitive type

Returns:

true if the ClassNode is a primitve type

See Also:

make(Class), make(String)

makeReference

public static ClassNode makeReference()
