Interface GenericTypeAdapter

All Known Implementing Classes:

ClassTypingContext, MethodTypingContext

public interface GenericTypeAdapter

Provides adapting of generic types from one scope to another scope.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
CtTypeReference<?>	adaptType(CtTypeInformation type) adapts `type` to the CtTypeReference of the scope of this GenericTypeAdapter This mapping function is able to resolve CtTypeParameter of: A) input type or any super class or any enclosing class of input type or it's super class B) super interfaces of input type or super interfaces of it's super classes. The type reference is adapted recursive including all it's actual type arguments and bounds.

Method Detail

getAdaptationScope

CtFormalTypeDeclarer getAdaptationScope()

Returns:

the scope of this type adapter

adaptType

CtTypeReference<?> adaptType(CtTypeInformation type)

adapts `type` to the CtTypeReference of the scope of this GenericTypeAdapter This mapping function is able to resolve CtTypeParameter of:
A) input type or any super class or any enclosing class of input type or it's super class
B) super interfaces of input type or super interfaces of it's super classes.
The type reference is adapted recursive including all it's actual type arguments and bounds.

Parameters:

type - to be adapted type

Returns:

CtTypeReference adapted to scope of this ClassTypingContext or null if type cannot be adapted to this `scope`.

getEnclosingGenericTypeAdapter

GenericTypeAdapter getEnclosingGenericTypeAdapter()

Returns:

the GenericTypeAdapter, which adapts generic types of enclosing type
