Constructor Detail

### EntryPoint

    public EntryPoint(Class declaringclass)

  Insert the method's description here.

  Creation date: (12-27-99 2:31:39 PM)

Parameters:
  `declaringclass` -

Method Detail

### equals

    public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

  Compares this against the specified object. Returns true if the objects are the same. Two EntryPoints are the same if they were declared by the same class, have the same name (or are both ctors) and have the same formal parameter types.

  Parameters:
    `obj` -

### getDeclaringClass

    public Class getDeclaringClass()

  Returns the Class object representing the class that declares the constructor represented by this Constructor object.

  Specified by:
    `getDeclaringClass` in interface `Member`

### getReturnType

    public Class getReturnType()

  Returns the Class object representing the class that will be returned by this EntryPoint. Needed by the Method API, but made meaningful for Constructors as well.

### getExceptionTypes

    public Class[] getExceptionTypes()

  Returns an array of Class objects that represent the types of the checked exceptions thrown by the underlying constructor represented by this Constructor object. Returns an array of length 0 if the constructor throws no checked exceptions.

### addExceptionType

    public void addExceptionType(Class exception)
                          throws SynthesisException

  Method addExceptionType

  Parameters:
    `exception` -
  Throws:
    `SynthesisException`

### getModifiers

    public int getModifiers()

  Returns the Java language modifiers for the constructor represented by this Constructor object, as an integer. The Modifier class should be used to decode the modifiers.

  Specified by:
    `getModifiers` in interface `Member`

### getName

    public java.lang.String getName()

  Member method. C'tor's name is always that of the defining class. Methods have a "real" name. Creation date: (12-25-99 1:32:06 PM)

  Returns:
    java.lang.String

### setName

    public void setName(java.lang.String name)
                 throws SynthesisException

  Member method. C'tor's name is always that of the defining class. Methods have a "real" name. Creation date: (12-25-99 1:32:06 PM)

  Parameters:
    `name` -
  Returns:
    java.lang.String
  Throws:
    `SynthesisException`

### getParameterTypes

    public Class[] getParameterTypes()

  Returns an array of Class objects that represent the formal parameter types, in declaration order, of the constructor represented by this Constructor object. Returns an array of length 0 if the underlying constructor takes no parameters.

### getParameterNames

    public java.lang.String[] getParameterNames()

  Method getParameterNames (getParameterNames) @return

### addParameter

    public void addParameter(Class type,
                             java.lang.String name)
                      throws SynthesisException

  Method addParameter

  Parameters:
    `type` -
    `name` -
  Throws:
    `SynthesisException`

### hashCode

    public abstract int hashCode()

  Returns a hashcode for this Constructor. The hashcode is the same as the hashcode for the underlying constructor's declaring class name, xor'ed (for Methods) with the method name. (Implemented in the subclasses rather than here.)

### setDeclaringClass

    public void setDeclaringClass(Class declaringClass)
                           throws SynthesisException

  Assert the Class object representing the class that declares the constructor represented by this Constructor object.

  Specified by:
    `setDeclaringClass` in interface `Member`
  Parameters:
    `declaringClass` -
  Throws:
    `SynthesisException`

### setModifiers

    public void setModifiers(int modifiers)
                      throws SynthesisException

  Should only be accepted before a "real" entrypoint is bound. Creation date: (12-25-99 1:28:28 PM)

  Specified by:
    `setModifiers` in interface `Member`
  Parameters:
    `modifiers` - int
  Returns:
    int
  Throws:
    `SynthesisException`

### toString

    public java.lang.String toString()

  Return a string describing this Constructor. The string is formatted as the constructor access modifiers, if any, followed by the fully-qualified name of the declaring class, followed by a parenthesized, comma-separated list of the constructor's formal parameter types. For example: `public java.util.Hashtable(int,float)`

  The only possible modifiers for constructors are the access modifiers public, protected or private. Only one of these may appear, or none if the constructor has default (package) access.

  Methods will also display their checked exceptions.

### setBody

    public void setBody(java.lang.String language,
                        java.lang.StringBuffer body)
                 throws SynthesisException

  Extension: For synthesis, we need a place to hang a method body.

  Parameters:
    `language` -
    `body` -
  Throws:
    `SynthesisException`

### getBody

    public java.lang.StringBuffer getBody()

  Extension: For synthesis, we need a place to hang a method body. Note that this returns a mutable object, for editing etc. Slightly sloppy first cut.

### getLanguage

    public java.lang.String getLanguage()

  Extension: For synthesis, we need a place to hang a method body.

### toSource

    public java.lang.String toSource(java.lang.String basetab)

  Generate Java code

  Parameters:
    `basetab` -
