Constructor Detail

ObjectGetClass

public ObjectGetClass()

Constructs an empty operator and operands can be added later by calling addSubExpression() on this.

ObjectGetClass

public ObjectGetClass(Object obj)

Constructs this by associating the given parameters as an operand of this.

Parameters:

obj - An Object that is used as an operand of this.

Method Detail

getParameterSignature

public Class[] getParameterSignature()

Description copied from interface: Expression

Returns the parameter signature for this Expression. Because the sub-expressions within the Expression are typically arguments or operands, some type validation is performed by examining the class types of the sub-expressions against the Expression's parameter signature.
The tests that are performed are:
1. The number of sub-expressions must equals the number of parameter entries.
2. The class type of any sub-expression (or the result of evaluating the sub-expresssion) must equal the class type of the corresponding parameter entry.
3. Any null parameter entries are ignored and are considered optional sub-expressions.

Specified by:

getParameterSignature in interface Expression

Returns:

the Class array containing the parameter signature.

getOperand

public Object getOperand()

Description copied from interface: UnaryOperator

Returns unary operand.

Specified by:

getOperand in interface UnaryOperator

Returns:

An unary operand.
