Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`CallMode`	`getAsynchronousCallMode()` Returns the asynchronous call mode, or null if not asynchronous.
`Set<? extends RemoteParameter<? extends Throwable>>`	`getExceptionTypes()` Returns the method exception types in an unmodifiable set.
`int`	`getMethodId()` Returns a unique identifier for this method, within the scope of its enclosing type.
`String`	`getName()` Returns the name of this method.
`List<? extends RemoteParameter<?>>`	`getParameterTypes()` Returns the method parameters in an unmodifiable list.
`RemoteParameter<? extends Throwable>`	`getRemoteFailureException()`
`RemoteParameter<?>`	`getReturnType()` Returns the return type of this method, which is null if void.
`String`	`getSignature()` Returns a Java-syntax signature for method.
`long`	`getTimeout()` Returns the method timeout, which was either explicitly defined or inherited from its enclosing interface.
`TimeUnit`	`getTimeoutUnit()` Returns the method timeout unit, which was either explicitly defined or inherited from its enclosing interface.
`Trace`	`getTraceAnnotation()` Returns the optional trace annotation for this method, which is not serailized.
`boolean`	`isAsynchronous()` Returns true if this method is asynchronous.
`boolean`	`isBatched()` Returns true if this method is batched, which implies that it is asynchronous.
`boolean`	`isDisposer()`
`boolean`	`isOrdered()`
`boolean`	`isRemoteFailureExceptionDeclared()`
`boolean`	`isUnbatched()` Returns true if this method should never be included in a batch.

- Method Detail
  - getName
```
String getName()
```
    Returns the name of this method.
  - getMethodId
```
int getMethodId()
```
    Returns a unique identifier for this method, within the scope of its enclosing type. The LSB of the identifier's data is 0 if method is synchronous, 1 if asynchronous.
  - getReturnType
```
RemoteParameter<?> getReturnType()
```
    Returns the return type of this method, which is null if void.
  - getParameterTypes
```
List<? extends RemoteParameter<?>> getParameterTypes()
```
    Returns the method parameters in an unmodifiable list.
  - getExceptionTypes
```
Set<? extends RemoteParameter<? extends Throwable>> getExceptionTypes()
```
    Returns the method exception types in an unmodifiable set. The set elements are guaranteed to have a consistent ordering.
  - getSignature
```
String getSignature()
```
    Returns a Java-syntax signature for method.
  - isAsynchronous
```
boolean isAsynchronous()
```
    Returns true if this method is asynchronous.
    
    See Also:
    
    Asynchronous
  - getAsynchronousCallMode
```
CallMode getAsynchronousCallMode()
```
    Returns the asynchronous call mode, or null if not asynchronous.
    
    See Also:
    
    Asynchronous
  - isBatched
```
boolean isBatched()
```
    Returns true if this method is batched, which implies that it is asynchronous.
    
    See Also:
    
    Batched
  - isUnbatched
```
boolean isUnbatched()
```
    Returns true if this method should never be included in a batch.
    
    See Also:
    
    Unbatched
  - isOrdered
```
boolean isOrdered()
```
    See Also:
    
    Ordered
  - isDisposer
```
boolean isDisposer()
```
    See Also:
    
    Disposer
  - getRemoteFailureException
```
RemoteParameter<? extends Throwable> getRemoteFailureException()
```
  - isRemoteFailureExceptionDeclared
```
boolean isRemoteFailureExceptionDeclared()
```
  - getTimeout
```
long getTimeout()
```
    Returns the method timeout, which was either explicitly defined or inherited from its enclosing interface. The timeout value is negative to represent infinity.
  - getTimeoutUnit
```
TimeUnit getTimeoutUnit()
```
    Returns the method timeout unit, which was either explicitly defined or inherited from its enclosing interface. The unit is never null.
  - getTraceAnnotation
```
Trace getTraceAnnotation()
```
    Returns the optional trace annotation for this method, which is not serailized.
