Interface AuxiliaryType.MethodAccessorFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AuxiliaryType.MethodAccessorFactory.Illegal, Implementation.Context.Default

Enclosing interface:

AuxiliaryType

public static interface AuxiliaryType.MethodAccessorFactory

A factory for creating method proxies for an auxiliary type. Such proxies are required to allow a type to call methods of a second type that are usually not accessible for the first type. This strategy is also adapted by the Java compiler that creates accessor methods for example to implement inner classes.

static class	AuxiliaryType.MethodAccessorFactory.Illegal A method accessor factory that forbids any accessor registration.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
MethodDescription.InDefinedShape	registerAccessorFor(Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation specialMethodInvocation) Registers an accessor method for a Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation which cannot itself be triggered invoked directly from outside a type.
MethodDescription.InDefinedShape	registerGetterFor(FieldDescription fieldDescription) Registers a getter for the given FieldDescription which might itself not be accessible from outside the class.
MethodDescription.InDefinedShape	registerSetterFor(FieldDescription fieldDescription) Registers a setter for the given FieldDescription which might itself not be accessible from outside the class.

Method Detail

registerAccessorFor

MethodDescription.InDefinedShape registerAccessorFor(Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation specialMethodInvocation)

Registers an accessor method for a Implementation.SpecialMethodInvocation which cannot itself be triggered invoked directly from outside a type. The method is registered on the instrumented type with package-private visibility, similarly to a Java compiler's accessor methods.

Parameters:

specialMethodInvocation - The special method invocation.

Returns:

The accessor method for invoking the special method invocation.

registerGetterFor

MethodDescription.InDefinedShape registerGetterFor(FieldDescription fieldDescription)

Registers a getter for the given FieldDescription which might itself not be accessible from outside the class. The returned getter method defines the field type as its return type, does not take any arguments and is of package-private visibility, similarly to the Java compiler's accessor methods. If the field is static, this accessor method is also static.

Parameters:

fieldDescription - The field which is to be accessed.

Returns:

A getter method for the given field.

registerSetterFor

MethodDescription.InDefinedShape registerSetterFor(FieldDescription fieldDescription)

Registers a setter for the given FieldDescription which might itself not be accessible from outside the class. The returned setter method defines the field type as its only argument type, returns void and is of package-private visibility, similarly to the Java compiler's accessor methods. If the field is static, this accessor method is also static.

Parameters:

fieldDescription - The field which is to be accessed.

Returns:

A setter method for the given field.
