Method Detail

hasSubclasses

boolean hasSubclasses()

Returns true if the subclasses() method will return an array of one or more elements (ie, not an empty array).

interfaces

List<ObjectSpecification> interfaces()

Get the list of specifications for all the interfaces that the class represented by this specification implements.

isOfType

boolean isOfType(ObjectSpecification specification)

Determines if this specification represents the same specification, or a subclass, of the specified specification.

subSpec.isOfType(superSpec) is equivalent to Java's superType.isAssignableFrom(subType).

subclasses

List<ObjectSpecification> subclasses()

Get the list of specifications for the subclasses of the class represented by this specification

superclass

ObjectSpecification superclass()

Get the specification for this specification's class's superclass.
