addSubclass

void addSubclass(NakedObjectSpecification specification)

Add the class for the specified specification as a subclass of this specification's class.

hasSubclasses

boolean hasSubclasses()

Returns true if the subclasses() method will return an array of one or more elements (ie, not an empty array).

interfaces

NakedObjectSpecification[] interfaces()

Get the list of specifications for all the interfaces that the class represented by this specification implements.

isOfType

boolean isOfType(NakedObjectSpecification specification)

Determines if this specification represents the same specification, or a subclass, of the specified specification.

subSpec.isOfType(superSpec) is equivalent to Java's superType.isAssignableFrom(subType).

superclass

NakedObjectSpecification superclass()

Get the specification for this specification's class's superclass.
