Class StaticMethodName

java.lang.Object
  org.fest.reflect.method.StaticMethodName

public final class StaticMethodName
extends Object

Understands the name of a static method to invoke using Java Reflection.

The following is an example of proper usage of this class:

   // Equivalent to call 'Jedi.setCommonPower("Jump")'
   staticMethod("setCommonPower").withParameterTypes(String.class)
                                 .in(Jedi.class)
                                 .invoke("Jump");

   // Equivalent to call 'Jedi.addPadawan()'
   staticMethod("addPadawan").in(Jedi.class).invoke();

   // Equivalent to call 'Jedi.commonPowerCount()'
   String name = staticMethod("commonPowerCount").withReturnType(String.class)
                                                 .in(Jedi.class)
                                                 .invoke();

   // Equivalent to call 'Jedi.getCommonPowers()'
   List<String> powers = staticMethod("getCommonPowers").withReturnType(new TypeRef<List<String>>() {})
                                                        .in(Jedi.class)
                                                        .invoke();

Method Detail

startStaticMethodAccess

public static StaticMethodName startStaticMethodAccess(String name)

Creates a new StaticMethodName: the starting point of the fluent interface for accessing static methods using Java Reflection.

Parameters:

name - the name of the method to access using Java Reflection.

Returns:

the created StaticMethodName.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given name is null.

IllegalArgumentException - if the given name is empty.

withReturnType

public <T> StaticMethodReturnType<T> withReturnType(Class<T> type)

Specifies the return type of the static method to invoke. This method call is optional if the return type of the method to invoke is void.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type of the method's return type.

Parameters:

type - the return type of the method to invoke.

Returns:

the created return type holder.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given type is null.

withReturnType

public <T> StaticMethodReturnTypeRef<T> withReturnType(TypeRef<T> type)

Specifies the return type reference of the static method to invoke. This method call is optional if the return type of the method to invoke is void.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type of the method's return type.

Parameters:

type - the return type reference of the method to invoke.

Returns:

the created return type holder.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given type reference is null.

withParameterTypes

public StaticMethodParameterTypes<Void> withParameterTypes(Class<?>... parameterTypes)

Specifies the parameter types of the static method to invoke. This method call is optional if the method to invoke does not take arguments.

Parameters:

parameterTypes - the parameter types of the method to invoke.

Returns:

the created parameter types holder.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the array of parameter types is null.

in

public Invoker<Void> in(Class<?> target)

Creates a new invoker for a static method that takes no parameters and return value void.

Parameters:

target - the object containing the method to invoke.

Returns:

the created method invoker.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the given target is null.
