public interface NamedElement

Represents a Java element with a name.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field and Description
static String	EMPTY_NAME Represents an element without a name in the source code.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
String	getInternalName() Returns the internal internalName of this byte code element.

Constant Field Values

Method Detail

getName

String getName()

Returns the internalName of this byte code element.

Returns:

The internalName of this byte code element as visible from within a running Java application.

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 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.
