Class TypeDependency<S extends IType,T extends IType>

java.lang.Object
  org.pfsw.odem.TypeDependency<S,T>

All Implemented Interfaces:

IDependency<S,T>, IObjectProperties

public abstract class TypeDependency<S extends IType,T extends IType>
extends java.lang.Object
implements IDependency<S,T>

This abstract dependency class implements some convenience methods to find out the kind of dependency between two types.

Constructor Summary

TypeDependency()
Initialize the new instance with default values.

Method Summary

boolean	isDerived() Returns true if the source type of this dependency either extends or implements the target type.
boolean	isExtension() Returns true if the source type of this dependency extends the target type.
boolean	isImplementation() Returns true if the source type of this dependency implements the target (interface) type.
boolean	isParamTypeInMethod() Returns true if the target type of this dependency is the type of a method parameter in one of the source type's methods.
boolean	isReferencedInMethodSignature() Returns true if the target type of this dependency is used in one of the source type's methods.
boolean	isReturnTypeOfMethod() Returns true if the target type of this dependency is the type of a method parameter in one of the source type's methods.
boolean	isTypeOfField() Returns true if the target type of this dependency is the type of a field (i.e. instance variable or static variable) in source type.
boolean	isTypeOfLocalVariable() Returns true if the target type of this dependency is the type of a local variable (i.e. a field declared locally inside a method) in source type.

Method Detail

isReferencedInMethodSignature

public boolean isReferencedInMethodSignature()

Returns true if the target type of this dependency is used in one of the source type's methods.

isDerived

public boolean isDerived()

Returns true if the source type of this dependency either extends or implements the target type.

isParamTypeInMethod

public boolean isParamTypeInMethod()

Returns true if the target type of this dependency is the type of a method parameter in one of the source type's methods.

isReturnTypeOfMethod

public boolean isReturnTypeOfMethod()

Returns true if the target type of this dependency is the type of a method parameter in one of the source type's methods.

isTypeOfField

public boolean isTypeOfField()

Returns true if the target type of this dependency is the type of a field (i.e. instance variable or static variable) in source type.

isTypeOfLocalVariable
