ExecutableType (Java Platform SE 6)

This documentation differs from the official API. Jadeite adds extra features to the API including: variable font sizes, constructions examples, placeholders for classes and methods, and auto-generated “See Also” links. Additionally it is missing some items found in standard Javadoc documentation, including: generics type information, “Deprecated” tags and comments, “See Also” links, along with other minor differences. Please send any questions or feedback to bam@cs.cmu.edu.

javax.lang.model.type
interface ExecutableType

All Superinterfaces:: TypeMirror

public interface ExecutableType
extends TypeMirror

Represents the type of an executable. An executable is a method, constructor, or initializer.

The executable is represented as when viewed as a method (or constructor or initializer) of some reference type. If that reference type is parameterized, then its actual type arguments are substituted into any types returned by the methods of this interface.

Method Summary
`List`	`getParameterTypes()` Returns the types of this executable's formal parameters.
`TypeMirror`	`getReturnType()` Returns the return type of this executable.
`List`	`getThrownTypes()` Returns the exceptions and other throwables listed in this executable's clause.
`List`	`getTypeVariables()` Returns the type variables declared by the formal type parameters of this executable.
