Package com.tngtech.archunit.core.domain

Class JavaGenericArrayType

java.lang.Object

com.tngtech.archunit.core.domain.JavaGenericArrayType

All Implemented Interfaces:

JavaType, HasName

@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public final class JavaGenericArrayType
extends java.lang.Object
implements JavaType

Represents a generic array type used in signatures of parameterized types.
E.g. for MyClass<A, T extends List<A[]>> the upper bound List<A[]> would have one JavaGenericArrayType A[] as its type parameter.
Like its concrete counterpart a JavaGenericArrayType can be queried for its component type, which will by definition be a JavaTypeVariable or a JavaGenericArrayType corresponding to a lower dimensional array.

Method Detail

getName

@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public java.lang.String getName()

Specified by:

getName in interface HasName

Returns:

The name of this JavaGenericArrayType, e.g. for A[] within signature MyClass<A, T extends List<A[]>> the name would be "A[]"

getComponentType

@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public JavaType getComponentType()

Returns:

The component type of this JavaGenericArrayType, e.g. for A[] within signature MyClass<A, T extends List<A[]>> the component type would be A, while for A[][] within MyClass<A, T extends List<A[][]>> the component type would be A[].

toErasure

@PublicAPI(usage=ACCESS)
public JavaClass toErasure()

Description copied from interface: JavaType

Converts this JavaType into the erased type (compare the Java Language Specification). In particular this will result in

• the class itself, if this type is a JavaClass
• the JavaClass equivalent to Object, if this type is an unbound JavaTypeVariable
• the JavaClass equivalent to the erasure of the left most bound, if this type is a bound JavaTypeVariable
• if this type is a JavaGenericArrayType, the erasure will be the JavaClass equivalent to the array type that has the erasure of the generic component type of this type as its component type; e.g. take the generic array type T[][] where T is unbound, then the erasure will be the array type Object[][]

Specified by:

toErasure in interface JavaType

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
