All Implemented Interfaces:

CodeSimian

public class JavaField
extends DefaultCS

Wrapper-class for a java.lang.reflect.Field, a dynamicly-accessed variable of a Java Object.

CodeSimian code: javaField('java.lang.System.out' 0) can be GET as type java.io.PrintStream, but you cant set it because that Field is FINAL. The 0 is where an instance object would normaly go, but since the Field is STATIC, there is no instance. More examples of code are needed to explain this...

An other example of CodeSimian code: javaField('out' javaField('java.lang.System' 0)). javaField('java.lang.System' 0) should return a Class object, which through further reflection, you can determine it has a Field called "out", and you can GET or SET it by the outer javaField. But what I really meant to say is that only the Field's name (not the name of its class) is necessary, even if the second parameter does not evaluate to a Class object because all Java objects have a getClass() function.

Later, add something similar to JAVABEANS to this class... If the Field is not public or doesnt exist, look for a Java Method (function) starting with "get" or "set" and ending with the field's name. For example: if java.lang.System.out didnt exist, and you tried to GET it, it would look for java.lang.System.getOut().

This CS should be able to be GET or SET as a Field and the Java type the Field encapsulates.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	description() a short description of this CS, shorter than the javadoc, but long enough to tell what the params are for.
double	DForProxy() Execute this CS and cast to double.
static java.lang.reflect.Field	findField(java.lang.String packageThenClassThenFieldName)
java.lang.String	keyword() For the CodeSimian language as a String. CodeSimian language keyword, like "+" "*" "max" ">" etc. Override this function if you want to specify a keyword other than how I derive them from the class name, like + for Add. Some CSs might never be intended to be used in the language by their keyword. The best example (4/05) is Num, because it is used in the language like "3.4" instead of "num()".
int	minP() For DForProxy(). Minimum number of parameters in param[] needed to call DForProxy(). Defines which indexs of param[] DForProxy() can use. Functions with a different number of parameters must override this. OVERRIDE THIS FUNCTION IF EXEC USES A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PARAMETERS. Default is 1.
boolean	ZForProxy()

Method Detail

DForProxy

public double DForProxy()

Description copied from class: CS

Execute this CS and cast to double.

D() and DForProxy() are the 2 most important functions in CS. They execute this CS. All other execute functions, by default, return DForProxy cast to their own type.

For example, J() calls the proxy which calls JForProxy() which calls DForProxy(). D() calls the proxy which calls DForProxy().

By default, all other primitive EXECUTE functions defer to D.
Functions that EXECUTE this CS: L(Class) L(int,Class,int) Z() B() C() S() I() J() F() D() V()

Specified by:

DForProxy in class DefaultCS

findField

public static java.lang.reflect.Field findField(java.lang.String packageThenClassThenFieldName)

ZForProxy

public boolean ZForProxy()

Overrides:

ZForProxy in class CS

See Also:

CS.DForProxy()

keyword

public java.lang.String keyword()

Description copied from class: DefaultCS

For the CodeSimian language as a String.
CodeSimian language keyword, like "+" "*" "max" ">" etc.

Override this function if you want to specify a keyword other than how I derive them from the class name, like + for Add.

Some CSs might never be intended to be used in the language by their keyword.
The best example (4/05) is Num, because it is used in the language like "3.4" instead of "num()".
Default: Returns class name, minus package name (and its dots), and change the first letter to lowercase.

For example, CS.MaxParams does not override keyword(), which returns "maxP".

Overrides:

keyword in class DefaultCS

See Also:

CS.parent(), CS.newInstance(), CS.name()

minP

public int minP()

Description copied from class: DefaultCS

For DForProxy().
Minimum number of parameters in param[] needed to call DForProxy().
Defines which indexs of param[] DForProxy() can use.
Functions with a different number of parameters must override this.
OVERRIDE THIS FUNCTION IF EXEC USES A DIFFERENT NUMBER OF PARAMETERS.
Default is 1.

Overrides:

minP in class DefaultCS

description

public java.lang.String description()

Description copied from class: CS

a short description of this CS, shorter than the javadoc, but long enough to tell what the params are for. Example use: in automatically generated webpages for CodeSimian. Example: "returns sum of all params" for Add.

Overrides:
