Method Detail

isAbstract

boolean isAbstract()
Return true if this method is abstract


returnType

Type returnType()
Get return type.

Returns:
the return type of this method, null if it is a constructor.

overriddenClass

ClassDoc overriddenClass()
Return the class containing the method that this method overrides.

The overriddenClass method cannot accommodate certain generic type constructs. The overriddenType method should be used instead.

Returns:
a ClassDoc representing the superclass defining a method that this method overrides, or null if this method does not override.

overriddenType

Type overriddenType()
Return the type containing the method that this method overrides. It may be a ClassDoc or a ParameterizedType.

Returns:
the supertype whose method is overridden, or null if this method does not override another in a superclass
Since:
1.5

overriddenMethod

MethodDoc overriddenMethod()
Return the method that this method overrides.

Returns:
a MethodDoc representing a method definition in a superclass this method overrides, null if this method does not override.

overrides

boolean overrides(MethodDoc meth)
Tests whether this method overrides another. The overridden method may be one declared in a superclass or a superinterface (unlike overriddenMethod()).

When a non-abstract method overrides an abstract one, it is also said to implement the other.

Parameters:
meth - the other method to examine
Returns:
true if this method overrides the other
Since:
1.5
