Class MethodKey
java.lang.Object
edu.internet2.middleware.grouperClientExt.org.apache.commons.jexl2.internal.introspection.MethodKey
A method key usable by the introspector cache.
This stores a method (or class) name and parameters.
This replaces the original key scheme which used to build the key by concatenating the method name and parameters class names as one string with the exception that primitive types were converted to their object class equivalents.
The key is still based on the same information, it is just wrapped in an object instead. Primitive type classes are converted to they object equivalent to make a key; int foo(int) and int foo(Integer) do generate the same key.
A key can be constructed either from arguments (array of objects) or from parameters (array of class). Roughly 3x faster than string key to access the map & uses less memory.-

isInvocationConvertible
public static boolean isInvocationConvertible(Class<?> formal, Class<?> actual, boolean possibleVarArg) Determines whether a type represented by a class object is convertible to another type represented by a class object using a method invocation conversion, treating object types of primitive types as if they were primitive types (that is, a Boolean actual parameter type matches boolean primitive formal type). This behavior is because this method is used to determine applicable methods for an actual parameter list, and primitive types are represented by their object duals in reflective method calls.- Parameters:
formal
- the formal parameter type to which the actual parameter type should be convertibleactual
- the actual parameter type.possibleVarArg
- whether or not we're dealing with the last parameter in the method declaration- Returns:
- true if either formal type is assignable from actual type, or formal is a primitive type and actual is its corresponding object type or an object type of a primitive type that can be converted to the formal type.
-
isStrictInvocationConvertible
public static boolean isStrictInvocationConvertible(Class<?> formal, Class<?> actual, boolean possibleVarArg) Determines whether a type represented by a class object is convertible to another type represented by a class object using a method invocation conversion, without matching object and primitive types. This method is used to determine the more specific type when comparing signatures of methods.- Parameters:
formal
- the formal parameter type to which the actual parameter type should be convertibleactual
- the actual parameter type.possibleVarArg
- whether or not we're dealing with the last parameter in the method declaration- Returns:
- true if either formal type is assignable from actual type, or formal and actual are both primitive types and actual can be subject to widening conversion to formal.
