Method Detail

getAssignableValue

public static Object getAssignableValue(Class<?> clzRequiredType,
                                        Parameter parameter,
                                        ParameterResolver resolver,
                                        ClassLoader loader)
                                 throws ClassCastException

Obtains an assignment compatible value of the required type given an actual Parameter.

This allows us to accept parameters and produce an Object value that may be assigned using Java reflection.

Parameters:

clzRequiredType - the required type of value

parameter - the actual Parameter from which to determine the value

resolver - the ParameterResolver to resolve Parameters used in Parameters

loader - the ClassLoader to use for loading necessary classes (required)

Returns:

an object that is assignable to the required type

Throws:

ClassCastException - when it's not possible to determine an assignable value

isAssignablePrimitive

public static boolean isAssignablePrimitive(Class<?> clzPrimitive,
                                            Class<?> clzWrapper)

Determines if a primitive type is assignable to a wrapper type.

Parameters:

clzPrimitive - the primitive class type

clzWrapper - the wrapper class type

Returns:

true if primitive and wrapper are assignment compatible

realizes

@Deprecated
public static boolean realizes(ParameterizedBuilder<?> bldr,
                               Class<?> clzClass,
                               ParameterResolver resolver,
                               ClassLoader loader)

Deprecated.

Note: no longer used internally. deprecated for external usages, will be removed in future.

Determines if a ParameterizedBuilder will build a specified Class of object.

Parameters:

bldr - the ParameterizedBuilder

clzClass - the Class of object expected

resolver - a ParameterResolver to resolve parameters

loader - the ClassLoader to use if classes need to be loaded

Returns:

true if the ParameterizedBuilder will build the specified Class of object, false otherwise
