Modifier (Java 2 Platform SE 5.0) (original) (raw)

Class Modifier

java.lang.Object extended by java.lang.reflect.Modifier


public class Modifier

extends Object

The Modifier class provides static methods and constants to decode class and member access modifiers. The sets of modifiers are represented as integers with distinct bit positions representing different modifiers. The values for the constants representing the modifiers are taken from _The Java_TM Virtual Machine Specification, Second edition tables 4.1,4.4,4.5, and 4.7.

Modifier

public Modifier()

Method Detail

isPublic

public static boolean isPublic(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thepublic modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thepublic modifier; false otherwise.


isPrivate

public static boolean isPrivate(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes theprivate modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes theprivate modifier; false otherwise.


isProtected

public static boolean isProtected(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes theprotected modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes theprotected modifier; false otherwise.


isStatic

public static boolean isStatic(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thestatic modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thestatic modifier; false otherwise.


isFinal

public static boolean isFinal(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thefinal modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thefinal modifier; false otherwise.


isSynchronized

public static boolean isSynchronized(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thesynchronized modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thesynchronized modifier; false otherwise.


isVolatile

public static boolean isVolatile(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thevolatile modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thevolatile modifier; false otherwise.


isTransient

public static boolean isTransient(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thetransient modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thetransient modifier; false otherwise.


isNative

public static boolean isNative(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thenative modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thenative modifier; false otherwise.


isInterface

public static boolean isInterface(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes theinterface modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes theinterface modifier; false otherwise.


isAbstract

public static boolean isAbstract(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes theabstract modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes theabstract modifier; false otherwise.


isStrict

public static boolean isStrict(int mod)

Return true if the integer argument includes thestrictfp modifier, false otherwise.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

true if mod includes thestrictfp modifier; false otherwise.


toString

public static String toString(int mod)

Return a string describing the access modifier flags in the specified modifier. For example:

public final synchronized strictfp

The modifier names are returned in an order consistent with the suggested modifier orderings given in The Java Language Specification, Second Edition sections§8.1.1, §8.3.1, §8.4.3, §8.8.3, and§9.1.1. The full modifier ordering used by this method is:

public protected private abstract static final transient volatile synchronized native strictfp interface

The interface modifier discussed in this class is not a true modifier in the Java language and it appears after all other modifiers listed by this method. This method may return a string of modifiers that are not valid modifiers of a Java entity; in other words, no checking is done on the possible validity of the combination of modifiers represented by the input.

Parameters:

mod - a set of modifiers

Returns:

a string representation of the set of modifiers represented by mod
