public JMethodSignature(String name)
Creates a new method with the given name and "void" return type.

Parameters: name the method name. Must not be null.

JMethodSignature

public JMethodSignature(String name, JType returnType)
Creates a new method with the given name and return type.

Parameters: name the method name. Must not be null. returnType the return type of the method. Must not be null.

Method Detail

addException

public void addException(JClass exp)
Adds the given Exception to this JMethodSignature's throws clause.

Parameters: exp the JClass representing the Exception

addParameter

public void addParameter(JParameter parameter)

Parameters: parameter the parameter to add to the this JMethodSignature's list of parameters.

getExceptions

public JClass[] getExceptions()
Returns the exceptions that this JMethodSignature lists in its throws clause.

Returns: the exceptions that this JMethodSignature lists in its throws clause.

getJDocComment

public JDocComment getJDocComment()
Returns the JavaDoc comment describing this JMethodSignature.

Returns: the JavaDoc comment describing this JMethodSignature.

getModifiers

public JModifiers getModifiers()
Returns the modifiers for this JMethodSignature.

Returns: the modifiers for this JMethodSignature.

getName

public String getName()
Returns the name of the method.

Returns: the name of the method.

getParameter

public JParameter getParameter(int index)

Parameters: index the index of the JParameter to return

Returns: the JParameter at the given index.

getParameterClassNames

protected String[] getParameterClassNames()
Returns an array containing the names of the classes of the parameters in this JMethodSignature. For Arrays, the class name of the object type stored in the Array is what is returned. Parameters that are primitive types (and Arrays of primitive types) are not represented in the array of names returned.

Returns: an array containing the names of the classes of the parameters in this JMethodSignature

getParameters

public JParameter[] getParameters()

Note: the array is a copy, the parameters in the array are the actual references.

Returns: the set of JParameters in this JMethodSignature

getReturnType

public JType getReturnType()
Returns the JType that represents the return type for the method signature.

Returns: the JType that represents the return type for the method signature.

print

public void print(JSourceWriter jsw)

Parameters: jsw the JSourceWriter to print to.

print

public void print(JSourceWriter jsw, boolean printJavaDoc)
Prints the method signature. A semi-colon (end-of-statement terminator ';') will not be printed.

Parameters: jsw the JSourceWriter to print to. printJavaDoc if true, print the JDocComment associated with this method signature before we print the method signature

setComment

public void setComment(String comment)
Sets the JavaDoc comment describing this JMethodSignature.

Parameters: comment the JavaDoc comment for this member
