Class EnclosingMethod

java.lang.Object

org.netbeans.modules.classfile.EnclosingMethod

public final class EnclosingMethod
extends Object

A class representing the enclosing method of an inner class. An enclosing method is similar to a CPMethodInfo type, but differs in two respects. First, the classfile stores this information in an "EnclosingMethod" attribute, rather than in the constant pool Second, an enclosing method attribute may not actually have a method reference (only a class reference). This is because the inner class is defined in an init block instead of an actual method.

Method Detail

getClassName

public ClassName getClassName()

getClassInfo

public CPClassInfo getClassInfo()

Returns the constant pool entry for the enclosing class.

Returns:

the constant pool entry for the enclosing class

hasMethod

public boolean hasMethod()

Returns whether the enclosing method attribute describes a method the inner class is defined within. If false, then the inner class was defined in an init block (or statement) in the class, outside of any method or constructor bodies.

Returns:

true if the enclosing method attribute describes a method the inner class is defined within

getMethodInfo

public CPNameAndTypeInfo getMethodInfo()

Returns the constant pool entry for the enclosing method, or null if the inner class was defined outside of any method or constructor bodies. Note: a CPNameAndTypeInfo instance is returned because the method is external to the enclosed class. Do not attempt to cast it to a CPMethodInfo type, which is an internal method structure.

Returns:

the constant pool entry for the enclosing method

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object
