Method Detail

getAnnotations

public abstract Object[] getAnnotations()

Returns the annotations associated with this member. For example, if an annotation @Author is associated with this member, the returned array contains an Author object. The member values can be obtained by calling methods on the Author object.

Returns: an array of annotation-type objects.

getAttribute

public abstract byte[] getAttribute(String name)

Obtains a user-defined attribute with the given name. If that attribute is not found in the class file, this method returns null.

Note that an attribute is a data block specified by the class file format. See AttributeInfo.

Parameters: name attribute name

getAvailableAnnotations

public abstract Object[] getAvailableAnnotations()

Returns the annotations associated with this member. This method is equivalent to getAnnotations() except that, if any annotations are not on the classpath, they are not included in the returned array.

Returns: an array of annotation-type objects.

Since: 3.3

getDeclaringClass

public CtClass getDeclaringClass()

Returns the class that declares this member.

getModifiers

public abstract int getModifiers()

Obtains the modifiers of the member.

Returns: modifiers encoded with javassist.Modifier.

getName

public abstract String getName()

Obtains the name of the member.

As for constructor names, see getName() in CtConstructor.

getSignature

public abstract String getSignature()

Returns the character string representing the signature of the member. If two members have the same signature (parameter types etc.), getSignature() returns the same string.

setAttribute

public abstract void setAttribute(String name, byte[] data)

Adds a user-defined attribute. The attribute is saved in the class file.

Note that an attribute is a data block specified by the class file format. See AttributeInfo.

Parameters: name attribute name data attribute value
