Interface ExecutableElement   All Superinterfaces: 
AnnotatedConstruct, Element, Parameterizable
  public interface ExecutableElement extends Element, Parameterizable Represents a method, constructor, or initializer (static or instance) of a class or interface, including annotation type elements.  Since: 1.6 See Also:   ExecutableType       Method Summary    
Modifier and Type
Method
Description


TypeMirror
asType()
 Returns the executable type defined by this executable element. 


AnnotationValue
getDefaultValue()
 Returns the default value if this executable is an annotation interface element. 


List<? extends VariableElement>
getParameters()
 Returns the formal parameters of this executable. 


TypeMirror
getReceiverType()
 Returns the receiver type of this executable, or NoType with kind NONE if the executable has no receiver type. 


TypeMirror
getReturnType()
 Returns the return type of this executable. 


Name
getSimpleName()
 Returns the simple name of a constructor, method, or initializer. 


List<? extends TypeMirror>
getThrownTypes()
 Returns the exceptions and other throwables listed in this method or constructor's throws clause in declaration order. 


List<? extends TypeParameterElement>
getTypeParameters()
 Returns the formal type parameters of this executable in declaration order. 


boolean
isDefault()
 Returns true if this method is a default method and returns false otherwise. 


boolean
isVarArgs()
 Returns true if this method or constructor accepts a variable number of arguments and returns false otherwise.

     Method Details  asType TypeMirror asType() Returns the executable type defined by this executable element.  Specified by: 
asType in interface Element
 Returns: the executable type defined by this executable element See Also:   ExecutableType     getTypeParameters List<? extends TypeParameterElement> getTypeParameters() Returns the formal type parameters of this executable in declaration order.  Specified by: 
getTypeParameters in interface Parameterizable
 Returns: the formal type parameters, or an empty list if there are none   getReturnType TypeMirror getReturnType() Returns the return type of this executable. Returns a NoType with kind VOID if this executable is not a method, or is a method that does not return a value.  Returns: the return type of this executable   getParameters List<? extends VariableElement> getParameters() Returns the formal parameters of this executable. They are returned in declaration order.  Returns: the formal parameters, or an empty list if there are none   getReceiverType TypeMirror getReceiverType() Returns the receiver type of this executable, or NoType with kind NONE if the executable has no receiver type. An executable which is an instance method, or a constructor of an inner class, has a receiver type derived from the declaring type. An executable which is a static method, or a constructor of a non-inner class, or an initializer (static or instance), has no receiver type.  Returns: the receiver type of this executable See Java Language Specification:  8.4 Method Declarations8.4.1 Formal Parameters8.8 Constructor Declarations
 Since: 1.8   isVarArgs boolean isVarArgs() Returns true if this method or constructor accepts a variable number of arguments and returns false otherwise.  Returns: 
true if this method or constructor accepts a variable number of arguments and returns false otherwise   isDefault boolean isDefault() Returns true if this method is a default method and returns false otherwise.  Returns: 
true if this method is a default method and returns false otherwise Since: 1.8   getThrownTypes List<? extends TypeMirror> getThrownTypes() Returns the exceptions and other throwables listed in this method or constructor's throws clause in declaration order.  Returns: the exceptions and other throwables listed in the throws clause, or an empty list if there are none   getDefaultValue AnnotationValue getDefaultValue() Returns the default value if this executable is an annotation interface element. Returns null if this method is not an annotation interface element, or if it is an annotation interface element with no default value.  Returns: the default value, or null if none   getSimpleName Name getSimpleName() Returns the simple name of a constructor, method, or initializer. For a constructor, the name "<init>" is returned, for a static initializer, the name "<clinit>" is returned, and for an anonymous class or instance initializer, an empty name is returned.  Specified by: 
getSimpleName in interface Element
 Returns: the simple name of a constructor, method, or initializer See Also:   PackageElement.getSimpleName() getSimpleName() TypeElement.getSimpleName() VariableElement.getSimpleName() ModuleElement.getSimpleName() RecordComponentElement.getSimpleName()
