Method Detail

getInternalName

String getInternalName()

Returns the internal internalName of this byte code element.

Returns:

The internal internalName of this byte code element as used within the Java class file format.

getSourceCodeName

String getSourceCodeName()

Returns the name of this byte code element as it is defined in Java source code. This means:

• For type descriptions, the main distinction is the display of arrays whose actual names are blended with internal names when calling NamedElement.getName().
• For method descriptions, representations of constructors and the type initializer, return the empty string.

Returns:

The name of this type as represented in Java source code.

getDescriptor

String getDescriptor()

Returns the descriptor of this byte code element.

Returns:

The descriptor of this byte code element.

getGenericSignature

String getGenericSignature()

Returns the generic signature of this byte code element.

Returns:

The generic signature or null if this element is not generic.

isVisibleTo

boolean isVisibleTo(TypeDescription typeDescription)

Checks if this element is visible from a given type.

Parameters:

typeDescription - The type which is checked for its access of this element.

Returns:

true if this element is visible for typeDescription.
