MethodWriter (JAXB XJC 4.0.0-M4 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.sun.tools.xjc.generator.bean.MethodWriter

```
public abstract class MethodWriter
extends Object
```
The back-end may or may not generate the content interface separately from the implementation class. If so, a method needs to be declared on both the interface and the implementation class.
This class hides those details and allow callers to declare methods just once.

declareMethod
```
public abstract JMethod declareMethod(JType returnType,
                                      String methodName)
```
Declares a method in both the interface and the implementation.

Returns:

JMethod object that represents a newly declared method on the implementation class.

declareMethod

public final JMethod declareMethod(Class<?> returnType,
                                   String methodName)

javadoc
```
public abstract JDocComment javadoc()
```
To generate javadoc for the previously declared method, use this method to obtain a JDocComment object. This may return a value different from declareMethod().javadoc().

addParameter
```
public abstract JVar addParameter(JType type,
                                  String name)
```
Adds a parameter to the previously declared method.

Returns:

JVar object that represents a newly added parameter on the implementation class.

addParameter

public final JVar addParameter(Class<?> type,
                               String name)
