Method Detail

getDynamicOperation

O getDynamicOperation(C dynamicType,
                      O staticOperation)

Get the most derived operation of dynamicType or its ancestors that matches staticOperation.

Parameters:

dynamicType -

staticOperation -

reset

void reset()

Reset the cache forcing lazy evaluations to restart.

setBypass

void setBypass(boolean bypass)

Reset the cache and define its bypass state. When bypassed the cache is not used, which may be appropriate if many additional properties or operations are being defined since each of these activities reset the cache, so there may be little benefit in populating it.
