public class DTMethod
extends DTMember
implements Serializable
A Method provides information about, and access to, a single method on a class or interface. The reflected method may be a class method or an instance method (including an abstract method).

A Method permits widening conversions to occur when matching the actual parameters to invokewith the underlying method's formal parameters, but it throws an IllegalArgumentException if a narrowing conversion would occur.

Method Index

o equals(Object)
Compares this DTMethod against the specified object.
o equals(DTMethod)
Compares this DTMethod against the specified DTMethod.
o getJavadocRange()
gets the text range from the beginning of the first line of the method's Javadoc comment to the closing asterisk-slash characters
o getReturnType()
Get the method's return type.
o getSourceRange()
gets the text range from the beginning of the method declaration to the closing brace (or semicolon for native or abstract members)
o rename(String)
Renames the method to new name
o toShortString()
Returns a short string describing this DTMethod.
o toString()
Compares the formal signature of this DTMethod with another.
o validate()
Ensure that this member is valid in its project

Methods

o equals 
public boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this DTMethod against the specified object. Returns true if the objects are the same. Two Methods are the same if they were declared by the same class and have the same name, formal parameter types, return type, exceptions thrown and modifiers.

Overrides:
equals in class DTMember
o equals 
public boolean equals(DTMethod other)
Compares this DTMethod against the specified DTMethod. Returns true if the methods are the same. Two Methods are the same if they were declared by the same class and have the same name, formal parameter types, return type, exceptions thrown and modifiers.

o getJavadocRange 
public com.symantec.itools.vcafe.openapi.Range getJavadocRange()
gets the text range from the beginning of the first line of the method's Javadoc comment to the closing asterisk-slash characters

Overrides:
getJavadocRange in class DTMember
o getReturnType 
public com.symantec.itools.vcafe.openapi.dtreflect.DTClass getReturnType()
Get the method's return type.

o getSourceRange 
public com.symantec.itools.vcafe.openapi.Range getSourceRange()
gets the text range from the beginning of the method declaration to the closing brace (or semicolon for native or abstract members)

Overrides:
getSourceRange in class DTMember
o rename 
public boolean rename(String newName)
Renames the method to new name

Parameters:
newName: - The new name of the field
Returns:
Success (true) or failure (false)...
o toShortString 
public java.lang.String toShortString()
Returns a short string describing this DTMethod. The string consists of the method name followed by the parameter types in parenthesis, e.g., "substring(int,int)".

o toString 
public java.lang.String toString()
Compares the formal signature of this DTMethod with another. Returns true if the unqualified method name and number and types of arguments are the same. public boolean equalSignatures(DTMember other) { if (other != null && getName().equals(other.getName()) && getParameters().equals(other.getParameters())) return true; return false; } /** Returns a string describing this DTMethod. The string is formatted as the method access modifiers, if any, followed by the method return type, followed by a space, followed by the class declaring the method, followed by a period, followed by the method name, followed by a parenthesized, comma-separated list of the method's formal parameter types. If the method throws checked exceptions, the parameter list is followed by a space, followed by the word throws followed by a comma-separated list of the thrown exception types. For example: 
	public boolean java.lang.Object.equals(java.lang.Object)

The access modifiers are placed in canonical order as specified by "The Java Language Specification". This is public, protected or private first, and then other modifiers in the following order: abstract, static, final, synchronized native.

Overrides:
toString in class Object
o validate 
public boolean validate()
Ensure that this member is valid in its project

Overrides:
validate in class DTMember
