Class CtField.Initializer

java.lang.Object

javassist.CtField.Initializer

Enclosing class:

CtField

public abstract static class CtField.Initializer
extends Object

Instances of this class specify how to initialize a field. Initializer is passed to CtClass.addField() with a CtField.

This class cannot be instantiated with the new operator. Factory methods such as byParameter() and byNew must be used for the instantiation. They create a new instance with the given parameters and return it.

Method Details

constant

public static CtField.Initializer constant(int i)

Makes an initializer that assigns a constant integer value. The field must be integer, short, char, or byte type.

constant

public static CtField.Initializer constant(boolean b)

Makes an initializer that assigns a constant boolean value. The field must be boolean type.

constant

public static CtField.Initializer constant(long l)

Makes an initializer that assigns a constant long value. The field must be long type.

constant

public static CtField.Initializer constant(float l)

Makes an initializer that assigns a constant float value. The field must be float type.

constant

public static CtField.Initializer constant(double d)

Makes an initializer that assigns a constant double value. The field must be double type.

constant

public static CtField.Initializer constant(String s)

Makes an initializer that assigns a constant string value. The field must be java.lang.String type.

byParameter

public static CtField.Initializer byParameter(int nth)

Makes an initializer using a constructor parameter.

The initial value is the N-th parameter given to the constructor of the object including the field. If the constructor takes less than N parameters, the field is not initialized. If the field is static, it is never initialized.

Parameters:

nth - the n-th (>= 0) parameter is used as the initial value. If nth is 0, then the first parameter is used.

byNew

public static CtField.Initializer byNew(CtClass objectType)

Makes an initializer creating a new object.

This initializer creates a new object and uses it as the initial value of the field. The constructor of the created object receives the parameter:

Object obj - the object including the field.

If the initialized field is static, then the constructor does not receive any parameters.

Parameters:

objectType - the class instantiated for the initial value.

byNew

public static CtField.Initializer byNew(CtClass objectType,
 String[] stringParams)

Makes an initializer creating a new object.

This initializer creates a new object and uses it as the initial value of the field. The constructor of the created object receives the parameters:

Object obj - the object including the field.
String[] strs - the character strings specified by stringParams

If the initialized field is static, then the constructor receives only strs.

Parameters:

objectType - the class instantiated for the initial value.

stringParams - the array of strings passed to the constructor.

byNewWithParams

public static CtField.Initializer byNewWithParams(CtClass objectType)

Makes an initializer creating a new object.

This initializer creates a new object and uses it as the initial value of the field. The constructor of the created object receives the parameters:

Object obj - the object including the field.
Object[] args - the parameters passed to the constructor of the object including the filed.

If the initialized field is static, then the constructor does not receive any parameters.

Parameters:

objectType - the class instantiated for the initial value.

• byNewArray(CtClass,int)
• byNewArray(CtClass,int[])

byNewWithParams

public static CtField.Initializer byNewWithParams(CtClass objectType,
 String[] stringParams)

Makes an initializer creating a new object.

This initializer creates a new object and uses it as the initial value of the field. The constructor of the created object receives the parameters:

Object obj - the object including the field.
String[] strs - the character strings specified by stringParams
Object[] args - the parameters passed to the constructor of the object including the filed.

If the initialized field is static, then the constructor receives only strs.

Parameters:

objectType - the class instantiated for the initial value.

stringParams - the array of strings passed to the constructor.

byCall

public static CtField.Initializer byCall(CtClass methodClass,
 String methodName)

Makes an initializer calling a static method.

This initializer calls a static method and uses the returned value as the initial value of the field. The called method receives the parameters:

Object obj - the object including the field.

If the initialized field is static, then the method does not receive any parameters.

The type of the returned value must be the same as the field type.

Parameters:

methodClass - the class that the static method is declared in.

methodName - the name of the satic method.

byCall

public static CtField.Initializer byCall(CtClass methodClass,
 String methodName,
 String[] stringParams)

Makes an initializer calling a static method.

This initializer calls a static method and uses the returned value as the initial value of the field. The called method receives the parameters:

Object obj - the object including the field.
String[] strs - the character strings specified by stringParams

If the initialized field is static, then the method receive only strs.

The type of the returned value must be the same as the field type.

Parameters:

methodClass - the class that the static method is declared in.

methodName - the name of the satic method.

stringParams - the array of strings passed to the static method.

byCallWithParams

public static CtField.Initializer byCallWithParams(CtClass methodClass,
 String methodName)

Makes an initializer calling a static method.

This initializer calls a static method and uses the returned value as the initial value of the field. The called method receives the parameters:

Object obj - the object including the field.
Object[] args - the parameters passed to the constructor of the object including the filed.

If the initialized field is static, then the method does not receive any parameters.

The type of the returned value must be the same as the field type.

Parameters:

methodClass - the class that the static method is declared in.

methodName - the name of the satic method.

byCallWithParams

public static CtField.Initializer byCallWithParams(CtClass methodClass,
 String methodName,
 String[] stringParams)

Makes an initializer calling a static method.

This initializer calls a static method and uses the returned value as the initial value of the field. The called method receives the parameters:

Object obj - the object including the field.
String[] strs - the character strings specified by stringParams
Object[] args - the parameters passed to the constructor of the object including the filed.

If the initialized field is static, then the method receive only strs.

The type of the returned value must be the same as the field type.

Parameters:

methodClass - the class that the static method is declared in.

methodName - the name of the satic method.

stringParams - the array of strings passed to the static method.

byNewArray

public static CtField.Initializer byNewArray(CtClass type,
