Field Detail

typesArray

public static final java.lang.String[] typesArray

in function names, most common letters that represent all types of: primitive, object, and void. P is the root type: Parameter of a CS. D-Z are primitive. L represents Object or array. V is void.

letterToClass

public static final java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.Class> letterToClass

code: Reflect.letterToClass.get("D") returns double.class

letterToPrimitiveName

public static final java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> letterToPrimitiveName

types

public static java.util.Map<java.lang.Object,Reflect.T> types

actions

public static final java.lang.String[] actions

in function names, most common text that represents what the function does. The first String is empty because some functions, like P(int) have the implied action: get, but no "get" in the name.

Constructor Detail

Reflect

public Reflect()

Method Detail

classToPrimitiveLetter

public static java.lang.String classToPrimitiveLetter(java.lang.Class primitiveType)

example: int.class --> "I". no array or object classes. primitives only

addType

public static void addType(java.lang.String letter,
                           java.lang.String name,
                           java.lang.Class type)

getType

public Reflect.T getType(java.lang.Object key)

key is a 1-letter primitive type name, Java keyword for that type, or Class for that type

javaCodeForNewSubclassOfCS

public static java.lang.String javaCodeForNewSubclassOfCS(java.lang.String nameOfNewClass,
                                                          java.lang.Class parentClass,
                                                          java.lang.reflect.Method callMe)

Builds a class that wraps any java Method in a CS.

Returns a String of Java code that, when put into a Java compiler (javac *.java), builds a Java Class whose code calls a specific Method when that class's DForProxy() function is executed.

Parameters:

nameOfParentClass - - name of any subclass of CS

m - - any Method from any Class

shouldCatch

public static boolean shouldCatch(java.lang.Class throwableType)

what the Java compiler requires you catch if you write code that throws Throwables

catchWhich

public static java.lang.Class[] catchWhich(java.lang.Class[] throwableTypes)

reduces array size by only including those that shouldCatch(Class) returns true for

javaCodeForType

public static java.lang.String javaCodeForType(java.lang.Class type)

javaCodeForType(List.class) returns "java.util.List". javaCodeForType(List[][][].class) returns "java.util.List[][][]"

arrayDim

public static int arrayDim(java.lang.Class arrayOrObject)

quantity of array dimensions of the Class. 0 if not array

repeatString

public static java.lang.String repeatString(java.lang.String s,
                                            int quantity)

simpleName

public static java.lang.String simpleName(java.lang.Class type)

Name of a Class or primitive type with no array brackets. boolean[][].class --> "boolean". Integer.class --> "java.lang.Integer".

javaCodeToExecuteCS

public static java.lang.String javaCodeToExecuteCS(java.lang.Class returnType)

Returns code that calls one of CS's execute functions: L(Class) D() F() J() I() S() C() B() Z() V(). Examples: int.class --> "I()". JButton[].class --> "L(JButton[].class)". ReturnType can not be CS.class.

getCSMethod

public static java.lang.reflect.Method getCSMethod(java.lang.String type,
                                                   java.lang.String action,
                                                   java.lang.String target)

Parameters:

type - any of: "Z" "B" "C" "S" "I" "J" "F" "D" "L" "P"

action - any of: "get" "set" "insert" "delete"

target - any of: "this" "oneParam" "paramRange"

preferredClassName

public static java.lang.String preferredClassName(java.lang.reflect.Method wrapMe)

for wrapping a Method in a new automatically-generated Java class, returns the name the class should be called if possible.

reflectFunctionsOf

public CS[] reflectFunctionsOf(java.lang.Object anyObject)

returns 1 CS for each function of anyObject.getClass(), and puts anyObject into those CSs params so they know which Object they're for. reflectFunctionsOf(new Integer(5)) should include a CS something like this: intValue(Integer) because intValue() is a function of class Integer, an needs 1 Integer instance object.
