  • Method Summary

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    List<Object>
    getArguments()
    Get the arguments of the executable in this invocation context.
    T
    getExecutable()
    Get the method or constructor of this invocation context.
    Optional<Object>
    getTarget()
    Get the target object of this invocation context, if available.
    Class<?>
    getTargetClass()
    Get the target class of this invocation context.

  • Method Details

    • getTargetClass

      Class<?> getTargetClass()
      Get the target class of this invocation context.

      If this invocation context represents an instance method, this method returns the class of the object the method will be invoked on, not the class it is declared in. Otherwise, if this invocation represents a static method or constructor, this method returns the class the method or constructor is declared in.

      Returns:
      the target class of this invocation context; never null

    • getExecutable

      T getExecutable()
      Get the method or constructor of this invocation context.
      Returns:
      the executable of this invocation context; never null

    • getArguments

      List<Object> getArguments()
      Get the arguments of the executable in this invocation context.
      Returns:
      the arguments of the executable in this invocation context; immutable and never null

    • getTarget

      Optional<Object> getTarget()
      Get the target object of this invocation context, if available.

      If this invocation context represents an instance method, this method returns the object the method will be invoked on. Otherwise, if this invocation context represents a static method or constructor, this method returns empty().

      Returns:
      the target of the executable of this invocation context; never null but potentially empty
