  • Method Details

    • resolveTypeVariable

      TypeDetails resolveTypeVariable(TypeVariableDetails typeVariable)
      Resolve the type of the provided type variable relative to this scope.

      For example, given 

      class Thing<I extends Number> {
    I id;
}
      A call to this method on the Thing scope with the type variable representing I will return the I extends Number type variable definition itself.

      If this scope defines a corresponding type argument, the concrete type is returned. For example, given 

      class Stuff extends Thing<Integer> {
}
      This method will yield the Integer type details.
      Parameters:
      typeVariable - The type variable to resolve
      Returns:
      The type variable's resolved type, or null if none could be found

    • determineRawClass

      ClassDetails determineRawClass()
      Determine the raw class for the given type. Never returns null, opting to return Object instead if the raw class is not known
      Returns:
      The raw class details, or Object if "not known".
