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() specifies the name of the type variable as specified in the source code.

For example, consider the type variable:

T extends Number

The identifier() is "T", while the name() is "java.lang.Number".

Method Detail

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 ParameterizedType and returns it if the kind is Type.Kind.TYPE_VARIABLE Throws an exception otherwise.

Overrides:

asTypeVariable in class Type

Returns:

a ClassType

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Description copied from class: Type

Compares this Type with another type, and returns true if they are equivalent. A type is equivalent to another type if it is the same kind, and all of its 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
