Constructor Detail

Field

public Field(String name,
             int type,
             Object value)
Create a representation of member variable

Parameters:
name - the name of the field
type - the type IObject.Type
value - value is one of ObjectReference - for an object field Byte - for a byte field Short - for a short field Integer - for an int field Long - for a long field Boolean - for a boolean field Char - for a char field Float - for a float field Double - for a double field
Method Detail

getValue

public Object getValue()
Gets the value of the field.

Returns:
ObjectReference - for an object field Byte - for a byte field Short - for a short field Integer - for an int field Long - for a long field Boolean - for a boolean field Char - for a char field Float - for a float field Double - for a double field

setValue

public void setValue(Object object)
Set the value of the field. Normally the value should not be changed. Currently this is used after deserializing static fields to change the object reference to one having a link to the current snapshot.

Parameters:
object - ObjectReference - for an object field Byte - for a byte field Short - for a short field Integer - for an int field Long - for a long field Boolean - for a boolean field Char - for a char field Float - for a float field Double - for a double field

toString

public String toString()
A readable representation of the field. Do not rely on the format of the result.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
Returns:
a description of this field.
