Interface MethodSignature

public interface MethodSignature

This interface describes a Java method signature; i.e. its "name" and its "parameter types". The parameter types are referenced by name, allowing us to reference classes that are not (or cannot be) loaded.

Provisional API: This interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to change significantly before reaching stability. It is available at this early stage to solicit feedback from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken (repeatedly) as the API evolves.

This interface is not intended to be implemented by clients.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(MethodSignature other) Return whether the method signature equals the specified signature.
boolean	equals(String otherName, JavaType[] otherParameterTypes) Return whether the method signature equals the specified signature.
String	getName() Return the method's name.
JavaType[]	getParameterTypes() Return the method's parameter types.
String	getSignature() Return a string representation of the method's signature: "foo(int, java.lang.String)"
