Interface Implementation.Target

All Known Implementing Classes:

Implementation.Target.AbstractBase, RebaseImplementationTarget, SubclassImplementationTarget

Enclosing interface:

Implementation

public static interface Implementation.Target

The target of an implementation. Implementation targets must be immutable and can be queried without altering the implementation result. An implementation target provides information on the type that is to be created where it is the implementation's responsibility to cache expensive computations, especially such computations that require reflective look-up.

Nested Class Summary

Nested Classes

Modifier and Type	Interface and Description
static class	Implementation.Target.AbstractBase An abstract base implementation for an Implementation.Target.
static interface	Implementation.Target.Factory A factory for creating an Implementation.Target.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
TypeDescription	getOriginType() Identifies the origin type of an implementation.
TypeDescription	getTypeDescription() Returns a description of the instrumented type.
Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation	invokeDefault(TypeDescription targetType, MethodDescription.Token methodToken) Creates a special method invocation for invoking a default method.
Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation	invokeDominant(MethodDescription.Token methodToken) Invokes a dominant method, i.e.
Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation	invokeSuper(MethodDescription.Token methodToken) Creates a special method invocation for invoking the super method of the given method.

Method Detail

getTypeDescription

TypeDescription getTypeDescription()

Returns a description of the instrumented type.

Returns:

A description of the instrumented type.

getOriginType

TypeDescription getOriginType()

Identifies the origin type of an implementation. The origin type describes the type that is subject to any form of enhancement. If a subclass of a given type is generated, the base type of this subclass describes the origin type. If a given type is redefined or rebased, the origin type is described by the instrumented type itself.

Returns:

The origin type of this implementation.

invokeSuper

Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation invokeSuper(MethodDescription.Token methodToken)

Creates a special method invocation for invoking the super method of the given method.

Parameters:

methodToken - A token of the method that is to be invoked as a super method.

Returns:

The corresponding special method invocation which might be illegal if the requested invocation is not legal.

invokeDefault

Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation invokeDefault(TypeDescription targetType,
                                                     MethodDescription.Token methodToken)

Creates a special method invocation for invoking a default method.

Parameters:

targetType - The interface on which the default method is to be invoked.

methodToken - A token that uniquely describes the method to invoke.

Returns:

The corresponding special method invocation which might be illegal if the requested invocation is not legal.

invokeDominant

Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation invokeDominant(MethodDescription.Token methodToken)

Invokes a dominant method, i.e. if the method token can be invoked as a super method invocation, this invocation is considered dominant. Alternatively, a method invocation is attempted on an interface type as a default method invocation only if this invocation is not ambiguous for several interfaces.

Parameters:

methodToken - The method token representing the method to be invoked.

Returns:

A special method invocation for a method representing the method token.
