Enclosing class:

ReflectMember<RT extends ReflectMember<RT>>

public static enum ReflectMember.Match
extends java.lang.Enum<ReflectMember.Match>

Enum Constant Detail

DEEP

public static final ReflectMember.Match DEEP

This option will tell member classes to include Super and Parent classes in their search. This can be dangerous in some cases. Especially during attempts to add hooks to a member, which could result in adding hooks to a wrong class. But it can also help access members from nested classes. Use this with care.

BEST

public static final ReflectMember.Match BEST

This option will tell member classes to include Super classes in their search. The option will also test other methods in cases where an exact match cannot be found. For example it would include method(Object) if method(String) does not exist. This is the best option for most cases.

EXACT

public static final ReflectMember.Match EXACT

This option will tell member classes that a match should be exact. This means that parameter types must match 100% with no exceptions. This option will not be useful in most cases.

Method Detail

values

public static ReflectMember.Match[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ReflectMember.Match c : ReflectMember.Match.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ReflectMember.Match valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the argument is null
