Constructor Detail

JavaType

public JavaType(Class javaClass)

Construct a new JavaType.

Parameters:

javaClass - a Java Class object representing the class or interface which this JavaType represents.

Method Detail

getRepresentationClass

public Class getRepresentationClass()

Overrides:

getRepresentationClass in class DataFlavor

isStrictSubtypeOf

public boolean isStrictSubtypeOf(Type t)

Description copied from class: Type

Determine whether this Type is a strict subtype of another Type t. By strict subtype, we mean that this Type is a subtype of t, but not equal to t.

Overrides:

isStrictSubtypeOf in class Type

Following copied from class: org.favabeans.base.Type

Parameters:

type - the specified Type

Returns:

true if this object is a strict subtype of t; false otherwise.

isInstance

public boolean isInstance(Object object)

Description copied from class: Type

Determine if a given arbitrary Java object is an instance of this Type.

Overrides:

isInstance in class Type

Following copied from class: org.favabeans.base.Type

Parameters:

object - an arbitrary Java object reference.

Returns:

true if object is considered "an instance of this Type"; false otherwise.

See Also:

Class.isInstance(java.lang.Object)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class DataFlavor

equals

public boolean equals(DataFlavor t)

Description copied from class: Type

Determine if this object is equal to some other Type object.

Overrides:

equals in class Type

Following copied from class: org.favabeans.base.Type

Parameters:

t - another DataFlavor, perhaps another Type.

Returns:

true if t is a Type and t is equal to this.

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class DataFlavor
