MetaClassRegistryImpl

public MetaClassRegistryImpl()

MetaClassRegistryImpl

public MetaClassRegistryImpl(int loadDefault)

MetaClassRegistryImpl

public MetaClassRegistryImpl(boolean useAccessible)

Parameters:

useAccessible - defines whether or not the AccessibleObject.setAccessible(boolean) method will be called to enable access to all methods when using reflection

MetaClassRegistryImpl

public MetaClassRegistryImpl(int loadDefault,
                             boolean useAccessible)

Method Detail

getMetaClass

public final MetaClass getMetaClass(Class theClass)

Specified by:

getMetaClass in interface MetaClassRegistry

getMetaClass

public MetaClass getMetaClass(Object obj)

removeMetaClass

public void removeMetaClass(Class theClass)

Description copied from interface: MetaClassRegistry

Removes a cached MetaClass from the registry

Specified by:

removeMetaClass in interface MetaClassRegistry

Parameters:

theClass - The Java class of the MetaClass to remove

setMetaClass

public void setMetaClass(Class theClass,
                         MetaClass theMetaClass)

Registers a new MetaClass in the registry to customize the type

Specified by:

setMetaClass in interface MetaClassRegistry

Parameters:

theClass -

theMetaClass -

setMetaClass

public void setMetaClass(Object obj,
                         MetaClass theMetaClass)

useAccessible

public boolean useAccessible()

getMetaClassCreationHandler

public MetaClassRegistry.MetaClassCreationHandle getMetaClassCreationHandler()

Gets a handle internally used to create MetaClass implementations WARNING: experimental code, likely to change soon

Specified by:

getMetaClassCreationHandler in interface MetaClassRegistry

Returns:

the handle

setMetaClassCreationHandle

public void setMetaClassCreationHandle(MetaClassRegistry.MetaClassCreationHandle handle)

Sets a handle internally used to create MetaClass implementations. When replacing the handle with a custom version, you should reuse the old handle to keep custom logic and to use the default logic as fall back. WARNING: experimental code, likely to change soon

Specified by:

setMetaClassCreationHandle in interface MetaClassRegistry

Parameters:

handle - the handle

addMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener

public void addMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener(MetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener listener)

Adds a listener for constant meta classes.

Specified by:

addMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener in interface MetaClassRegistry

Parameters:

listener - the listener

removeMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener

public void removeMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener(MetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener listener)

Removes a constant meta class listener.

Specified by:

removeMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener in interface MetaClassRegistry

Parameters:

listener - the listener

fireConstantMetaClassUpdate

protected void fireConstantMetaClassUpdate(Class c,
                                           MetaClass newMc)

Causes the execution of all registered listeners. This method is used mostly internal to kick of the listener notification. It can also be used by subclasses to achieve the same.

Parameters:

c - the class

newMc - the new MetaClass

getMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListeners

public MetaClassRegistryChangeEventListener[] getMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListeners()

Gets an array of of all registered ConstantMetaClassListener instances.

Specified by:

getMetaClassRegistryChangeEventListeners in interface MetaClassRegistry

Returns:

an array containing all change listener

getInstance

public static MetaClassRegistry getInstance(int includeExtension)

Singleton of MetaClassRegistry.

Parameters:

includeExtension -

getInstanceMethods

public FastArray getInstanceMethods()

getStaticMethods

public FastArray getStaticMethods()

iterator

public Iterator iterator()

Returns an iterator to iterate over all constant meta classes. This iterator can be seen as making a snapshot of the current state of the registry. The snapshot will include all meta classes that has been used unless they are already collected. Collected meta classes will be skipped automatically, so you can expect that each element of the iteration is not null. Calling this method is thread safe, the usage of the iterator is not.

Specified by:

iterator in interface MetaClassRegistry

Returns:

the iterator.
