Class ByReference<Type>

java.lang.Object

org.azyva.dragom.apiutil.ByReference<Type>

Type Parameters:

Type - Reference type.

public class ByReference<Type>
extends Object

There are cases where a method needs to return an object instance but not through its return value since the return value has another use. This generic class allows passing and returning objects by reference in a type-safe manner. Being a simple reference wrapper around an existing type, the object member is public and no accessor methods are provided. One case where this is used in Dragom is for returning Version.
