public class TypesModel
extends Object

This class holds a list of all classes relevant for the pojo model. Additionally a class hierarchy model is build to detect polymorphic structures.

Method Detail

getClassHierarchyNodeForType

protected TypesModel.ClassHierarchyNode getClassHierarchyNodeForType(Type type)

Parameters:

type - a type

Returns:

the type hierarchy (lower bound within types model bounds) for the given type

getAssignableTypesWithinClassHierarchy

public Set<Type> getAssignableTypesWithinClassHierarchy(Type type)

This method is the core functionality to find polymorphic type structures. Given a type, the set of all known classes will be searched for matching types. A matching type for a given type only matches if all generic parameter conditions are met, more precise if the potential valid type is assignable the original type.

Parameters:

type - the type for with sub types should be found

Returns:

a set of matching types within know set of registered model classes
