MethodCallExpression

public MethodCallExpression(Expression objectExpression,
                            String method,
                            Expression arguments)

MethodCallExpression

public MethodCallExpression(Expression objectExpression,
                            Expression method,
                            Expression arguments)

Method Detail

getMetaMethod

public MetaMethod getMetaMethod()

Deprecated.

visit

public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)

Overrides:

visit in class ASTNode

transformExpression

public Expression transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)

Description copied from class: Expression

Return a copy of the expression calling the transformer on any nested expressions

Specified by:

transformExpression in class Expression

getArguments

public Expression getArguments()

setArguments

public void setArguments(Expression arguments)

getMethod

public Expression getMethod()

setMethod

public void setMethod(Expression method)

getMethodAsString

public String getMethodAsString()

This method returns the method name as String if it is no dynamic calculated method name, but a constant.

setObjectExpression

public void setObjectExpression(Expression objectExpression)

getObjectExpression

public Expression getObjectExpression()

getText

public String getText()

Overrides:

getText in class ASTNode

isSafe

public boolean isSafe()

Returns:

is this a safe method call, i.e. if true then if the source object is null then this method call will return null rather than throwing a null pointer exception

setSafe

public void setSafe(boolean safe)

isSpreadSafe

public boolean isSpreadSafe()

setSpreadSafe

public void setSpreadSafe(boolean value)

isImplicitThis

public boolean isImplicitThis()

Returns:

true if no object expression was specified otherwise if some expression was specified for the object on which to evaluate the method then return false

setImplicitThis

public void setImplicitThis(boolean implicitThis)

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Object

setMetaMethod

public void setMetaMethod(MetaMethod mmeth)

Deprecated.
