public class ParamReader

extends ClassReader

This is the class file reader for obtaining the parameter names for declared methods in a class. The class must have debugging attributes for us to obtain this information.

This does not work for inherited methods. To obtain parameter names for inherited methods, you must use a paramReader for the class that originally declared the method.

don't get tricky, it's the bare minimum. Instances of this class are not threadsafe -- don't share them.

Constructor Detail

ParamReader

public ParamReader(java.lang.Class c)
            throws java.io.IOException

process a class file, given it's class. We'll use the defining classloader to locate the bytecode.

Parameters:

c -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

ParamReader

public ParamReader(byte[] b)
            throws java.io.IOException

process the given class bytes directly.

Parameters:

b -

Throws:

java.io.IOException

Method Detail

readCode

public void readCode()
              throws java.io.IOException

Description copied from class: ClassReader

read a code attribute

Overrides:

readCode in class ClassReader

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getParameterNames

public java.lang.String[] getParameterNames(java.lang.reflect.Method method)

return the names of the declared parameters for the given method. If we cannot determine the names, return null. The returned array will have one name per parameter. The length of the array will be the same as the length of the Class[] array returned by Method.getParameterTypes().

Parameters:

method -

Returns:

String[] array of names, one per parameter, or null

readLocalVariableTable

public void readLocalVariableTable()
                            throws java.io.IOException

this is invoked when a LocalVariableTable attribute is encountered.

Throws:

java.io.IOException
