This class represents the generic type information for a method. The code is not dependent on a particular reflective implementation. It is designed to be used unchanged by at least core reflection and JDI.

getReturnType, make

Methods from sun.reflect.generics.repository.ConstructorRepository:
getExceptionTypes, getParameterTypes, make, parse

Methods from sun.reflect.generics.repository.GenericDeclRepository:
getTypeParameters

Methods from sun.reflect.generics.repository.AbstractRepository:
getReifier, getTree, parse

Methods from java.lang.Object:

Method from sun.reflect.generics.repository.MethodRepository Detail:
public Type getReturnType() { if (returnType == null) { // lazily initialize return type Reifier r = getReifier(); // obtain visitor // Extract return type subtree from AST and reify getTree().getReturnType().accept(r); // extract result from visitor and cache it returnType = r.getResult(); } return returnType; // return cached result }
public static MethodRepository make(String rawSig, GenericsFactory f) { return new MethodRepository(rawSig, f); } Static factory method.
