All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable<DynamicFactory.ConstructorKey>
Enclosing class:
DynamicFactory
public abstract static class DynamicFactory.ConstructorKey extends Object implements Comparable<DynamicFactory.ConstructorKey>
A class which encapsulates the information about an interface (of this implementation) and the parameter types of the constructor.

  • Constructor Details

    • ConstructorKey

      public ConstructorKey()

  • Method Details

    • intf

      public abstract Class<?> intf()
      Access the interface this key indexes.
      Returns:
      class of the interface

    • type

      public abstract Class<?> type(int i)
      Access the type of class at the given parameter index.

      Overrides:
      equals in class Object

    • isUniform

      public boolean isUniform()
      Indicates whether this key has multiple parameters and they are of uniform type. If there are less then two types this method will return false. new Object[]{ Atom, Bond, Atom } // false new Object[]{ Atom, Atom, Atom } // true
      Returns:
      whether the key is uniform
