Method Detail

isInnerClassReference

public boolean isInnerClassReference()

Tells whether or not this class is an inner class reference. This value is set by connectMemberClasses() -- if this hasn't been called, or if the field hasn't been otherwise set by setIsInnerClassReference(), it will be false;

Returns:

true if the class is an inner class reference

setIsInnerClassReference

public void setIsInnerClassReference(boolean nis)

Sets the flag that denotes whether this class is an inner class reference.

Parameters:

nis - the value to set; true iff the class is an inner class reference.

getJavaType

public java.lang.String getJavaType()
                             throws java.io.IOException

Get a string representing the type for this field in Java (the language) format.

Returns:

a string representing the fully-qualified type of the field

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if a validity or I/O error occurs

setReferenceTypeName

public void setReferenceTypeName(java.lang.String newname)
                          throws ValidityException

Changes the name of an object reference to the name specified. This is used by the inner-class-connection code to fix up field references.

Parameters:

newname - the fully-qualified class

Throws:

ValidityException - if the field isn't a reference type, or another validity error occurs

validate

public void validate(java.lang.String jt)
              throws ValidityException
