Method Detail

getNodeType

public int getNodeType()

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns an integer value identifying the type of this concrete AST node. The values are small positive integers, suitable for use in switch statements.

For each concrete node type there is a unique node type constant (name and value). The unique node type constant for a concrete node type such as CastExpression is ASTNode.CAST_EXPRESSION.

Specified by:

getNodeType in class ASTNode

Returns:

one of the node type constants

subtreeMatch

public boolean subtreeMatch(ASTMatcher matcher,
                            Object other)

Description copied from class: ASTNode

Returns whether the subtree rooted at the given node matches the given other object as decided by the given matcher.

Specified by:

subtreeMatch in class ASTNode

Parameters:

matcher - the matcher

other - the other object, or null

Returns:

true if the subtree matches, or false if they do not match

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the expression of this method invocation expression, or null if there is none.

Returns:

the expression node, or null if there is none

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Sets or clears the expression of this method invocation expression.

Parameters:

expression - the expression node, or null if there is none

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent
• a cycle in would be created

getName

public SimpleName getName()

Returns the name of the method invoked in this expression.

Returns:

the method name node

setName

public void setName(SimpleName name)

Sets the name of the method invoked in this expression to the given name.

Parameters:

name - the new method name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent

arguments

public List arguments()

Returns the live ordered list of argument expressions in this method invocation expression.

Returns:

the live list of argument expressions (element type: Expression)
