Class DeclarationFilter

public class DeclarationFilter
extends Object

A filter for selecting just the items of interest from a collection of declarations. The filter is said to select or to match those declarations. Filters can be created in several ways: by the static methods described below, by negating or composing existing filters, or by subclasses that implement arbitrary matching rules.

A subclass can create an arbitrary filter simply by implementing the matches(Declaration) method.

Examples.

Selecting the public declarations from a collection:

     result = FILTER_PUBLIC.filter(decls);              

Selecting class declarations (including enums):

     classFilter = DeclarationFilter.getFilter(ClassDeclaration.class);
     result = classFilter.filter(decls);                

Selecting class declarations but excluding enums:

     enumFilter = DeclarationFilter.getFilter(EnumDeclaration.class);
     compoundFilter = classFilter.and(enumFilter.not());
     result = compoundFilter.filter(decls);             

Selecting declarations named "Bob":

     nameFilter = new DeclarationFilter() {
                      public boolean matches(Declaration d) {
                          return d.getSimpleName().equals("Bob");
                      }
                  };
     result = nameFilter.filter(decls);

Field Summary

static DeclarationFilter	FILTER_PACKAGE A filter that selects only package-private (default) declarations.
static DeclarationFilter	FILTER_PRIVATE A filter that selects only private declarations.
static DeclarationFilter	FILTER_PROTECTED A filter that selects only protected declarations.
static DeclarationFilter	FILTER_PUBLIC A filter that selects only public declarations.

Constructor Summary

DeclarationFilter()
Constructs an identity filter: one that selects all declarations.

Method Summary

DeclarationFilter	and(DeclarationFilter f) Returns a filter that selects those declarations selected by both this filter and another.
<D extends Declaration> Collection<D>	filter(Collection<? extends Declaration> decls, Class<D> resType) Returns the declarations matched by this filter, with the result being restricted to declarations of a given kind.
<D extends Declaration> Collection<D>	filter(Collection<D> decls) Returns the declarations matched by this filter.
static DeclarationFilter	getFilter(Class<? extends Declaration> kind) Returns a filter that selects declarations of a particular kind.
static DeclarationFilter	getFilter(Collection<Modifier> mods) Returns a filter that selects declarations containing all of a collection of modifiers.
boolean	matches(Declaration decl) Tests whether this filter matches a given declaration.
DeclarationFilter	not() Returns a filter that selects those declarations not selected by this filter.
DeclarationFilter	or(DeclarationFilter f) Returns a filter that selects those declarations selected by either this filter or another.

Field Detail

FILTER_PUBLIC

public static final DeclarationFilter FILTER_PUBLIC

A filter that selects only public declarations.

FILTER_PROTECTED

public static final DeclarationFilter FILTER_PROTECTED

A filter that selects only protected declarations.

FILTER_PUBLIC_OR_PROTECTED

public static final DeclarationFilter FILTER_PUBLIC_OR_PROTECTED

A filter that selects only public or protected declarations.

FILTER_PACKAGE

public static final DeclarationFilter FILTER_PACKAGE

A filter that selects only package-private (default) declarations.

FILTER_PRIVATE

Constructor Detail

DeclarationFilter

public DeclarationFilter()

Constructs an identity filter: one that selects all declarations.

Method Detail

getFilter

public static DeclarationFilter getFilter(Collection<Modifier> mods)

Returns a filter that selects declarations containing all of a collection of modifiers.

Parameters:

mods - the modifiers to match (non-null)

Returns:

a filter that matches declarations containing mods

getFilter

public static DeclarationFilter getFilter(Class<? extends Declaration> kind)

Returns a filter that selects declarations of a particular kind. For example, there may be a filter that selects only class declarations, or only fields. The filter will select declarations of the specified kind, and also any subtypes of that kind; for example, a field filter will also select enum constants.

Parameters:

kind - the kind of declarations to select

Returns:

a filter that selects declarations of a particular kind

and

public DeclarationFilter and(DeclarationFilter f)

Returns a filter that selects those declarations selected by both this filter and another.

Parameters:

f - filter to be composed with this one

Returns:

a filter that selects those declarations selected by both this filter and another

or

public DeclarationFilter or(DeclarationFilter f)

Returns a filter that selects those declarations selected by either this filter or another.

Parameters:

f - filter to be composed with this one

Returns:

a filter that selects those declarations selected by either this filter or another

not

public DeclarationFilter not()

Returns a filter that selects those declarations not selected by this filter.

Returns:

a filter that selects those declarations not selected by this filter

matches

public boolean matches(Declaration decl)

Tests whether this filter matches a given declaration. The default implementation always returns true; subclasses should override this.

Parameters:

decl - the declaration to match

Returns:

true if this filter matches the given declaration

filter

public <D extends Declaration> Collection<D> filter(Collection<D> decls)

Returns the declarations matched by this filter. The result is a collection of the same type as the argument; the two-parameter version of filter offers control over the result type.

Type Parameters:

D - type of the declarations being filtered

Parameters:

decls - declarations being filtered

Returns:

the declarations matched by this filter

filter

public <D extends Declaration> Collection<D> filter(Collection<? extends Declaration> decls,
                                                    Class<D> resType)

Returns the declarations matched by this filter, with the result being restricted to declarations of a given kind. Similar to the simpler single-parameter version of filter, but the result type is specified explicitly.

Type Parameters:

D - type of the declarations being returned

Parameters:

decls - declarations being filtered

resType - type of the declarations being returned -- the reflective view of D

Returns:

the declarations matched by this filter, restricted to those of the specified type
