Class Invokable<T,​R>

  • Type Parameters:
    T - the type that owns this method or constructor.
    R - the return type of (or supertype thereof) the method or the declaring type of the constructor.
    All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement, java.lang.reflect.Member

    public abstract class Invokable<T,​R>
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements java.lang.reflect.AnnotatedElement, java.lang.reflect.Member
    Wrapper around either a Method or a Constructor. Convenience API is provided to make common reflective operation easier to deal with, such as isPublic(), getParameters() etc.

    In addition to convenience methods, TypeToken.method(java.lang.reflect.Method) and TypeToken.constructor(java.lang.reflect.Constructor<?>) will resolve the type parameters of the method or constructor in the context of the owner type, which may be a subtype of the declaring class. For example:

    
     Method getMethod = List.class.getMethod("get", int.class);
     Invokable<List<String>, ?> invokable = new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}.method(getMethod);
     assertEquals(TypeToken.of(String.class), invokable.getReturnType()); // Not Object.class!
     assertEquals(new TypeToken<List<String>>() {}, invokable.getOwnerType());
     

    Note: earlier versions of this class inherited from AccessibleObject and GenericDeclaration. Since version 31.0 that is no longer the case. However, most methods from those types are present with the same signature in this class.

    Since:
    14.0 (no longer implements AccessibleObject or GenericDeclaration since 31.0)

        Throws:
        java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if this Constructor object enforces Java language access control and the underlying method or constructor is inaccessible.
        java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the number of actual and formal parameters differ; if an unwrapping conversion for primitive arguments fails; or if, after possible unwrapping, a parameter value cannot be converted to the corresponding formal parameter type by a method invocation conversion.
        java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException - if the underlying method or constructor throws an exception.
      • getParameters

        public final ImmutableList<ParametergetParameters()
        Returns all declared parameters of this Invokable. Note that if this is a constructor of a non-static inner class, unlike Constructor.getParameterTypes(), the hidden this parameter of the enclosing class is excluded from the returned parameters.
      • returning

        public final <R1 extends RInvokable<T,​R1> returning​(java.lang.Class<R1> returnType)
        Explicitly specifies the return type of this Invokable. For example:
