Class CtField.Initializer

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 Detail

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:

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:

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:

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:

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.

byExpr

public static CtField.Initializer byExpr(String source)
Makes an initializer.

Parameters: source initializer expression.

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:

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:

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.

byNewArray

public static CtField.Initializer byNewArray(CtClass type, int size)
Makes an initializer creating a new array.

Parameters: type the type of the array. size the size of the array.

Throws: NotFoundException if the type of the array components is not found.

byNewArray

public static CtField.Initializer byNewArray(CtClass type, int[] sizes)
Makes an initializer creating a new multi-dimensional array.

Parameters: type the type of the array. sizes an int array of the size in every dimension. The first element is the size in the first dimension. The second is in the second, etc.

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:

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

Parameters: objectType the class instantiated for the initial value.

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:

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.

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.

constant

public static CtField.Initializer constant(int i)
Makes an initializer that assigns a constant integer value. The field must be integer 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(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.
