public class Construct<R>
extends UnaryFunctor<java.lang.Object[],R>

static interface

Construct.Visitor Interface for classes that may interpret a Construct predicate.

Constructor Summary

Construct(java.lang.Class<?>[] argclasses, java.lang.Class<R> ctorclass)
Builds a functor that will build an object of class ctorclass, given arguments of classes in argclasses.

Construct(java.lang.Class<R> ctorclass, java.lang.Class<?>... argclasses)
Builds a functor that will build an object of class ctorclass, given arguments of classes in argclasses.

Construct(java.lang.reflect.Constructor<R> ctor)
Builds a functor that will build an object using the given constructor.

Method Summary

void	accept(Visitor v) Calls the Visitor's visit(Construct) method, if it implements the nested Visitor interface.
R	fn(java.lang.Object[] args) Builds an object via the designated constructor, passing the given array of argument values.
java.lang.reflect.Constructor<R>	getConstructor() Lazy loads the constructor (used if the functor is called after deserialization)
java.lang.String	toString()

Constructor Detail

Construct

public Construct(java.lang.Class<R> ctorclass,
                 java.lang.Class<?>... argclasses)

Builds a functor that will build an object of class ctorclass, given arguments of classes in argclasses.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if either argument is omitted, or if the constructor cannot be found.

Construct

public Construct(java.lang.Class<?>[] argclasses,
                 java.lang.Class<R> ctorclass)

Builds a functor that will build an object of class ctorclass, given arguments of classes in argclasses.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if either argument is omitted, or if the constructor cannot be found.

Construct

public Construct(java.lang.reflect.Constructor<R> ctor)

Builds a functor that will build an object using the given constructor.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the constructor is omitted.

Method Detail

getConstructor

public java.lang.reflect.Constructor<R> getConstructor()
                                                throws java.lang.NoSuchMethodException

Lazy loads the constructor (used if the functor is called after deserialization)

Throws:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException

fn

public R fn(java.lang.Object[] args)

Builds an object via the designated constructor, passing the given array of argument values.

Specified by:

fn in class UnaryFunctor<java.lang.Object[],R>

Returns:

the object built by the constructor

accept

public void accept(Visitor v)

Calls the Visitor's visit(Construct) method, if it implements the nested Visitor interface.

Specified by:

accept in interface Visitable

Overrides:

accept in class Functor<R>

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
