Method Detail

getPackageName

public java.lang.String getPackageName()

Returns the JavaQName's package name. The empty string represents the default package.

getClassName

public java.lang.String getClassName()

Returns the JavaQName's class name. This is the composition of getOuterClassName() and getInnerClassName().

getOuterClassName

public java.lang.String getOuterClassName()

If the class is an inner class: Returns the name of the enclosing class. Otherwise returns null.

getInnerClassName

public java.lang.String getInnerClassName()

If the class is an inner class: Returns the name of the inner class. Otherwise returns getClassName().

isArray

public boolean isArray()

Returns whether the class described by the JavaQName is actually an array class. If so, you may use the getInstanceClass() method to determine the JavaQName of the array elements.

getInstanceClass

public JavaQName getInstanceClass()

If the method isArray() returns true, you may use this method to obtain the instance class.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalStateException - This JavaQName is no array, and isArray() returns false.

isPrimitive

public boolean isPrimitive()

Returns whether this is a primitive class. Primitive classes are JavaQNameImpl.VOID, JavaQNameImpl.BOOLEAN, JavaQNameImpl.BYTE, JavaQNameImpl.SHORT, JavaQNameImpl.INT, JavaQNameImpl.LONG, JavaQNameImpl.FLOAT, JavaQNameImpl.DOUBLE, and JavaQNameImpl.CHAR.

isImportable

public boolean isImportable()

Returns whether this class may be imported. For instance, this is not the case for primitive classes.

isInnerClass

public boolean isInnerClass()

Returns whether this class is an inner class.
