Interface JavaQName

All Superinterfaces:

java.lang.Comparable, java.io.Serializable

public interface JavaQName
extends java.lang.Comparable, java.io.Serializable

A qualified class name, including package name. Instances of JavaQName are obtained by invoking private methods of the class JavaQNameImpl.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getClassName() Returns the JavaQName's class name.
java.lang.String	getInnerClassName() If the class is an inner class: Returns the name of the inner class.
JavaQName	getInstanceClass() If the method isArray() returns true, you may use this method to obtain the instance class.
JavaQName	getObjectType() If the class is primitive: Returns the corresponding object type.
java.lang.String	getOuterClassName() If the class is an inner class: Returns the name of the enclosing class.
java.lang.String	getPackageName() Returns the JavaQName's package name.
java.lang.String	getPrimitiveConversionMethod() If the class is primitive: Returns the name of the corresponding object classes method for converting the object into a primitive value.
boolean	isArray() Returns whether the class described by the JavaQName is actually an array class.
boolean	isImportable() Returns whether this class may be imported.
boolean	isInnerClass() Returns whether this class is an inner class.
boolean	isPrimitive() Returns whether this is a primitive class.

Method Detail

getPackageName

java.lang.String getPackageName()

Returns the JavaQName's package name. The empty string represents the default package.

getClassName

java.lang.String getClassName()

Returns the JavaQName's class name. This is the composition of getOuterClassName() and getInnerClassName().

getOuterClassName

java.lang.String getOuterClassName()

If the class is an inner class: Returns the name of the enclosing class. Otherwise returns null.

getInnerClassName

java.lang.String getInnerClassName()

If the class is an inner class: Returns the name of the inner class. Otherwise returns getClassName().

isArray

boolean isArray()

Returns whether the class described by the JavaQName is actually an array class. If so, you may use the getInstanceClass() method to determine the JavaQName of the array elements.

getInstanceClass

JavaQName getInstanceClass()

If the method isArray() returns true, you may use this method to obtain the instance class.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - This JavaQName is no array, and isArray() returns false.

isPrimitive

boolean isPrimitive()

Returns whether this is a primitive class. Primitive classes are JavaQNameImpl.VOID, JavaQNameImpl.BOOLEAN, JavaQNameImpl.BYTE, JavaQNameImpl.SHORT, JavaQNameImpl.INT, JavaQNameImpl.LONG, JavaQNameImpl.FLOAT, JavaQNameImpl.DOUBLE, and JavaQNameImpl.CHAR.

isImportable

boolean isImportable()

Returns whether this class may be imported. For instance, this is not the case for primitive classes.

isInnerClass

boolean isInnerClass()

Returns whether this class is an inner class.

getObjectType

JavaQName getObjectType()

If the class is primitive: Returns the corresponding object type.

getPrimitiveConversionMethod

java.lang.String getPrimitiveConversionMethod()

If the class is primitive: Returns the name of the corresponding object classes method for converting the object into a primitive value.
