CMessageDescriptor (Providence 2.7.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

CAnnotatedDescriptor, PDescriptor

All Known Implementing Classes:

CExceptionDescriptor, CInterfaceDescriptor, CStructDescriptor, CUnionDescriptor
```
public interface CMessageDescriptor
extends CAnnotatedDescriptor, PDescriptor
```
See the struct descriptor of PStructDescriptor. It is avoided in this case in order to be able to have subclasses of PStructDescriptor and PUnionDescriptor to implement an interface that already have the getFields() methods with the CField contained field implementation.

Method Detail

getFields
```
@Nonnull
PField<?>[] getFields()
```

findFieldByName

@Nullable
PField<?> findFieldByName(java.lang.String name)

findFieldById

@Nullable
PField<?> findFieldById(int id)

fieldForName

@Nullable
PField<?> fieldForName(java.lang.String name)

fieldForId

@Nullable
PField<?> fieldForId(int id)

getVariant
```
@Nonnull
PMessageVariant getVariant()
```

getImplementing

@Nullable
CInterfaceDescriptor getImplementing()

isSimple
```
boolean isSimple()
```
Returns:

True if the message is simple. A simple message contains no containers, and no sub-messages.
