Method Detail

getParameters

java.util.List<AnnotatedParameter<java.lang.Object>> getParameters()

Gets the abstracted parameters of the method

Returns:

A list of parameters. Returns an empty list if no parameters are present.

getAnnotatedParameters

java.util.List<AnnotatedParameter<java.lang.Object>> getAnnotatedParameters(java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> metaAnnotationType)

Gets the list of annotated parameters for a given annotation

Parameters:

metaAnnotationType - The annotation to match

Returns:

A set of matching parameter abstractions. Returns an empty list if there are no matches.

getParameterTypesAsArray

java.lang.Class<?>[] getParameterTypesAsArray()

Get the parameter types as an array

invoke

T invoke(java.lang.Object instance,
         Manager manager)

Invokes the method

Parameters:

instance - The instance to invoke

manager - The Web Beans manager

Returns:

A reference to the instance

invokeOnInstance

T invokeOnInstance(java.lang.Object instance,
                   Manager manager)

Invokes the method on the class of the passed instance, not the declaring class. Useful with proxies

Parameters:

instance - The instance to invoke

manager - The Web Beans manager

Returns:

A reference to the instance

invokeWithSpecialValue

T invokeWithSpecialValue(java.lang.Object instance,
                         java.lang.Class<? extends java.lang.annotation.Annotation> specialParam,
                         java.lang.Object specialVal,
                         Manager manager)

Invokes the observer method

Parameters:

instance - The instance to invoke

event - the event object

manager - The Web Beans manager

Returns:

A reference to the instance

invoke

T invoke(java.lang.Object instance,
         java.lang.Object... parameters)

Invokes the method

Parameters:

instance - The instance to invoke

parameters - The method parameters

Returns:

A reference to the instance

getDeclaringClass

AnnotatedType<?> getDeclaringClass()

Gets the declaring class

Returns:

An abstraction of the declaring class

getPropertyName

java.lang.String getPropertyName()

Gets the property name

Returns:

The name
