Class JPrimitiveType

java.lang.Object
  extended by com.sun.codemodel.JType
      extended by com.sun.codemodel.JPrimitiveType
All Implemented Interfaces:
JGenerable, Comparable<JType>

public final class JPrimitiveType
extends JType

Java built-in primitive types. Instances of this class can be obtained as constants of JCodeModel, such as JCodeModel.BOOLEAN.


Method Summary
 JClass array()
          Create an array type of this type.
 JClass boxify()
          Obtains the wrapper class for this primitive type.
 String fullName()
          Gets the full name of the type.
 void generate(JFormatter f)
           
 JClass getWrapperClass()
          Deprecated. Use boxify().
 boolean isPrimitive()
          Tell whether or not this is a built-in primitive type, such as int or void.
 String name()
          Gets the name of this type.
 JCodeModel owner()
          Gets the owner code model object.
 JType unboxify()
          Deprecated. calling this method from JPrimitiveType would be meaningless, since it's always guaranteed to return this.
 JExpression unwrap(JExpression exp)
          Do the opposite of the wrap method.
 JExpression wrap(JExpression exp)
          Wraps an expression of this type to the corresponding wrapper class.

Method Detail

owner

public JCodeModel owner()
Description copied from class: JType
Gets the owner code model object.

Specified by:
owner in class JType

fullName

public String fullName()
Description copied from class: JType
Gets the full name of the type. See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jls/second_edition/html/names.doc.html#25430 for the details.

Specified by:
fullName in class JType
Returns:
Strings like "int", "java.lang.String", "java.io.File[]". Never null.

name

public String name()
Description copied from class: JType
Gets the name of this type.

Specified by:
name in class JType
Returns:
Names like "int", "void", "BigInteger".

isPrimitive

public boolean isPrimitive()
Description copied from class: JType
Tell whether or not this is a built-in primitive type, such as int or void.

Overrides:
isPrimitive in class JType

array

public JClass array()
Description copied from class: JType
Create an array type of this type. This method is undefined for primitive void type, which doesn't have any corresponding array representation.

Specified by:
array in class JType
Returns:
A JClass representing the array type whose element type is this type

boxify

public JClass boxify()
Obtains the wrapper class for this primitive type. For example, this method returns a reference to java.lang.Integer if this object represents int.

Specified by:
boxify in class JType

unboxify

public JType unboxify()
Deprecated. calling this method from JPrimitiveType would be meaningless, since it's always guaranteed to return this.

Description copied from class: JType
If this class is a wrapper type for a primitive, return the primitive type. Otherwise return this.

For example, for "java.lang.Integer", this method returns "int".

Specified by:
unboxify in class JType

getWrapperClass

public JClass getWrapperClass()
Deprecated. Use boxify().


wrap

public JExpression wrap(JExpression exp)
Wraps an expression of this type to the corresponding wrapper class. For example, if this class represents "float", this method will return the expression new Float(x) for the paramter x. REVISIT: it's not clear how this method works for VOID.


unwrap

public JExpression unwrap(JExpression exp)
Do the opposite of the wrap method. REVISIT: it's not clear how this method works for VOID.


generate

public void generate(JFormatter f)
