Method Details

erasure

public static <T> Class<T> erasure(Type t)

Returns the runtime representation of the given type. This corresponds to the notion of the erasure in JSR-14.

getBaseClass

public static Type getBaseClass(Type type,
 Class baseType)

Gets the parameterization of the given base type.

For example, given the following

 interface Foo<T> extends List<List<T>> {}
 interface Bar extends Foo<String> {}
 

This method works like this:

 getBaseClass( Bar, List ) = List<List<String>
 getBaseClass( Bar, Foo  ) = Foo<String>
 getBaseClass( Foo<? extends Number>, Collection ) = Collection<List<? extends Number>>
 getBaseClass( ArrayList<? extends BigInteger>, List ) = List<? extends BigInteger>
 

Parameters:

type - The type that derives from baseType

baseType - The class whose parameterization we are interested in.

Returns:

The use of baseType in type. or null if the type is not assignable to the base type.

getTypeArgument

public static Type getTypeArgument(Type type,
 int i)
