Method Detail

values

public static GenericReflection[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (GenericReflection c : GenericReflection.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static GenericReflection valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getMethodReturnTypes

public static Set<Type> getMethodReturnTypes(Type type)

Obtain the return types for method on this type

Parameters:

type - to scan

Returns:

set of types

getReturnType

public static Type getReturnType(Method method,
                                 Type type)

Obtain the return type of a method as defined by a class or interface

Parameters:

method - to lookup

type - to look for the definition.

Returns:

the return type

erase

public static Class<?> erase(Type type)

Obatin the raw type if available.

Parameters:

type - to erase

Returns:

raw class
