Class TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical

java.lang.Object

net.bytebuddy.pool.TypePool.AbstractBase

net.bytebuddy.pool.TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical

All Implemented Interfaces:

TypePool

Direct Known Subclasses:

TypePool.ClassLoading, TypePool.Default, TypePool.Explicit

Enclosing class:

TypePool.AbstractBase

@Enhance
public abstract static class TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical
extends TypePool.AbstractBase

Implements a hierarchical view of type pools, similarly to class loader hierarchies. For every lookup, the parent type pool is asked first if it can resolve a type. Only if the parent (and potentially its parents) are unable to resolve a type, this instance is queried for a type description.

name - The name of the type to describe. The name is to be written as when calling Class.getName().

Returns:

A resolution of the type to describe. If the type to be described was found, the returned TypePool.Resolution represents this type. Otherwise, an illegal resolution is returned.

clear

public void clear()

Clears this type pool's cache.

Specified by:

clear in interface TypePool

Overrides:

clear in class TypePool.AbstractBase
