Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
CtTypeParameterReference	clone()	Clone the element which calls this method in a new object.
CtTypeReference<?>	getBoundingType()	A type parameter can have an extends clause which declare one (CtTypeReference or more (CtIntersectionTypeReference references.
CtTypeParameter	getDeclaration()	Returns the CtTypeParameter, a CtTypeParameter, that declares the type parameter referenced or null if the reference is not in a context where such type parameter is declared.
boolean	isDefaultBoundingType()	Returns true if this has the default bounding type that is java.lang.Object (which basically means that there is no bound)

Method Details

getBoundingType

CtTypeReference<?> getBoundingType()

A type parameter can have an extends clause which declare one (CtTypeReference or more (CtIntersectionTypeReference references.

     // Extends with generics.
     T extends Interface1
     // Intersection type with generics.
     T extends Interface1 & Interface2
 

getDeclaration

CtTypeParameter getDeclaration()

Returns the CtTypeParameter, a CtTypeParameter, that declares the type parameter referenced or null if the reference is not in a context where such type parameter is declared. See also CtTypeReference.getTypeParameterDeclaration() which has a different semantic.

Specified by:

getDeclaration in interface CtReference

Specified by:

getDeclaration in interface CtTypeReference<Object>

Returns:

the referenced element or null if the type declaration is not the analyzed source files.

clone

CtTypeParameterReference clone()

Description copied from interface: CtElement

Clone the element which calls this method in a new object. Note that that references are kept as is, and thus, so if you clone whole classes or methods, some parts of the cloned element (eg executable references) may still point to the initial element. In this case, consider using methods Refactoring.copyType(CtType) and Refactoring.copyMethod(CtMethod) instead which does additional work beyond cloning.

Specified by:

clone in interface CtElement

Specified by:

clone in interface CtReference

Specified by:

clone in interface CtTypeReference<Object>

Returns:

a clone of this element. All children are cloned, but the parent of the returned clone is set to null.

setActualTypeArguments

<T extends CtActualTypeContainer> T setActualTypeArguments(List<? extends CtTypeReference<?>> actualTypeArguments)

Description copied from interface: CtActualTypeContainer

Sets the type arguments.

Specified by:

setActualTypeArguments in interface CtActualTypeContainer

isDefaultBoundingType

boolean isDefaultBoundingType()

Returns true if this has the default bounding type that is java.lang.Object (which basically means that there is no bound)
