Interface JotClassAllocation

All Superinterfaces:

JotAllocation, JotElement, JotExpression, JotStatementExpression

All Known Subinterfaces:

JotAnonymousClass

public interface JotClassAllocation

extends JotAllocation, JotStatementExpression

The JotClassAllocation interface represents a class allocation expression. Class allocation expressions create new object instances. Class allocation expressions extend basic allocation expressions by optionally providing arguments in the form of expressions that are passed to the appropriate object constructor. Class allocation expressions have the form:

   new Panel();
   new Integer(10);
   new String(myBytes, 0, myBytes.length, getConverter())
 

Since:

5.0

Method Detail

getArguments

public JotExpression[] getArguments()

Retrieves the arguments being passed to the class constructor.

Returns:

an array of expressions. If the class constructor takes no arguments, the array will have a length of zero.

setArgument

public JotExpression setArgument(int idx,
                                 java.lang.String exp)

Sets an argument in the call to the constructor. The existing argument expression is removed.

Parameters:

idx - the index of the argument to add.

exp - the argument expression string.

Returns:

the newly added argument as a JotExpression.

addArgument

public JotExpression addArgument(JotExpression marker,
                                 boolean before,
                                 java.lang.String exp)

Adds a new argument.

Parameters:

marker - the argument to position relative to.

before - whether to position the new argument before or after the marker argument; or, if the marker is null, whether to position the new argument at the beginning or the end of the argument list.

exp - the new argument string

Returns:

the new argument as a JotExpression.

removeArgument

public void removeArgument(JotExpression oldExp)

Removes an existing argument.
