TypeDescription.Generic.OfParameterizedType

public static class TypeDescription.Generic.OfParameterizedType.ForGenerifiedErasure extends TypeDescription.Generic.OfParameterizedType
Represents an erasure as a generic type where all type variables are representing their own arguments.
  • Field Details

    • typeDescription

      private final TypeDescription typeDescription
      The represented erasure.
  • Constructor Details

    • ForGenerifiedErasure

      protected ForGenerifiedErasure(TypeDescription typeDescription)
      Creates a new generified erasure.
      Parameters:
      typeDescription - The represented erasure.
  • Method Details

    • of

      public static TypeDescription.Generic of(TypeDescription typeDescription)
      Represents the supplied type description as a generified erasure if it is generified or as a non-generic type if not so.
      Parameters:
      typeDescription - The represented erasure.
      Returns:
      An appropriate generic type.
    • asErasure

      public TypeDescription asErasure()
      Returns the erasure of this type. Wildcard types (TypeDefinition.Sort.WILDCARD) do not have a well-defined erasure and cause an IllegalStateException to be thrown.
      Returns:
      The erasure of this type.
    • getTypeArguments

      public TypeList.Generic getTypeArguments()

      Returns the type arguments of this type.

      Parameters are only well-defined for parameterized types (TypeDefinition.Sort.PARAMETERIZED). For all other types, this method throws an IllegalStateException.

      Returns:
      A list of this type's type parameters.
    • getOwnerType

      public TypeDescription.Generic getOwnerType()

      Returns the owner type of this type. A type's owner type describes a nested type's declaring type. If it exists, the returned type can be a non-generic or parameterized type. If a class has no declaring type, null is returned.

      An owner type is only well-defined for parameterized types (TypeDefinition.Sort.PARAMETERIZED), for non-generic types (TypeDefinition.Sort.NON_GENERIC) and for generic arrays (TypeDefinition.Sort.GENERIC_ARRAY). For all other types, this method throws an IllegalStateException.

      Returns:
      This type's owner type or null if no owner type exists.
    • getDeclaredAnnotations

      public AnnotationList getDeclaredAnnotations()
      Returns a list of annotations that are declared by this instance.
      Returns:
      A list of declared annotations.
