Interface ITypeDescription

All Known Implementing Classes:

TypeDescription

Deprecated.

This interface does not cover all the features supported by the corresponding (unpublished) implementation. But no client code should need to access this functionality, anyway.

public interface ITypeDescription

The ITypeDescription allows to examine a type in detail (e.g. it is used for marshaling/unmarshaling).

Method Detail

getSuperType

ITypeDescription getSuperType()

Deprecated.

Gets the ITypeDescription of the super, if it exists.

Returns:

the ITypeDescription.

getMethodDescriptions

IMethodDescription[] getMethodDescriptions()

Deprecated.

Gets the IMethodDescription for every method, if this type is an interface. Otherwise returns null.

Returns:

the IMethodDescription[].

getMethodDescription

IMethodDescription getMethodDescription(int methodId)

Deprecated.

Gets the IMethodDescription for the method with index methodId, if it exists, otherwise returns null.

Returns:

the IMethodDescription.

getMethodDescription

IMethodDescription getMethodDescription(java.lang.String name)

Deprecated.

Gets the IMethodDescription for the method with the name name, if it exists, otherwise returns null.

Returns:

the IMethodDescription.

getFieldDescriptions

IFieldDescription[] getFieldDescriptions()

Deprecated.

Gets the IFieldDescription for every field, if this type is an interface. Otherwise returns null.

Returns:

the IFieldDescription[].

getFieldDescription

IFieldDescription getFieldDescription(java.lang.String name)

Deprecated.

Gets the IFieldDescription for the field with the name name, if it exists, otherwise returns null.

Returns:

the IFieldDescription.

getTypeClass

TypeClass getTypeClass()

Deprecated.

Gets the IDL TypeClass of the type.

Returns:

the TypeClass.

getComponentType

ITypeDescription getComponentType()

Deprecated.

Gets the component ITypeDescription if this is an array type, otherwise returns null.

Returns:

the ITypeDescription

getTypeName

java.lang.String getTypeName()

Deprecated.

Gets the (UNO) type name.

The following table lists how UNO types map to type names:

UNO type	type name
VOID	"void"
BOOLEAN	"boolean"
CHAR	"char"
BYTE	"byte"
SHORT	"short"
UNSIGNED SHORT	"unsigned short"
LONG	"long"
UNSIGNED LONG	"unsigned long"
HYPER	"hyper"
UNSIGNED HYPER	"unsigned hyper"
FLOAT	"float"
DOUBLE	"double"
STRING	"string"
TYPE	"type"
ANY	"any"
sequence type of base type T	"[]" followed by type name for T
enum type named N	N (see below)
struct type named N	N (see below)
exception type named N	N (see below)
interface type named N	N (see below)

For a UNO type named N, consisting of a sequence of module names M₁, ..., M_n followed by a simple name S, the corresponding type name consists of the same sequence of module names and simple name, with "." separating the individual elements.

Returns:

the type name.

getArrayTypeName

java.lang.String getArrayTypeName()

Deprecated.

Gets the (Java) array type name.

The array type name is defined to be the Java class name (as returned by Class.forName) of the Java array class that corresponds to the UNO sequence type with this type (the UNO type represented by this ITypeDescription instance) as base type. For an ITypeDescription instance representing the UNO type VOID, the array type name is defined to be "[Ljava.lang.Void;".

Returns:

the array type name.

getZClass

java.lang.Class getZClass()

Deprecated.

Gets the corresponding java class for the type.

Returns:

the corresponding java class.
