Fields Summary
Constructors Summary
public Field(Field c)
Initialize from another object. Note that both objects use the same references (shallow copy). Use clone() for a physical copy.

    super(c);
  
Field(DataInputStream file, ConstantPool constant_pool)
Construct object from file stream.

param
file Input stream

    super(file, constant_pool);
  
public Field(int access_flags, int name_index, int signature_index, Attribute[] attributes, ConstantPool constant_pool)

param
access_flags Access rights of field
param
name_index Points to field name in constant pool
param
signature_index Points to encoded signature
param
attributes Collection of attributes
param
constant_pool Array of constants

    super(access_flags, name_index, signature_index, attributes, constant_pool);
  
Methods Summary
public voidaccept(com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.classfile.Visitor v)
Called by objects that are traversing the nodes of the tree implicitely defined by the contents of a Java class. I.e., the hierarchy of methods, fields, attributes, etc. spawns a tree of objects.

param
v Visitor object

    v.visitField(this);
  
public final com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.classfile.Fieldcopy(com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.classfile.ConstantPool constant_pool)

return
deep copy of this field

    return (Field)copy_(constant_pool);
  
public final com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.classfile.ConstantValuegetConstantValue()

return
constant value associated with this field (may be null)

    for(int i=0; i < attributes_count; i++)
      if(attributes[i].getTag() == Constants.ATTR_CONSTANT_VALUE)
	return (ConstantValue)attributes[i];

    return null;
  
public com.sun.org.apache.bcel.internal.generic.TypegetType()

return
type of field

    return Type.getReturnType(getSignature());
  
public final java.lang.StringtoString()
Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static final short MAX = 100', e.g..

return
String representation of field, including the signature.

    String name, signature, access; // Short cuts to constant pool

    // Get names from constant pool
    access    = Utility.accessToString(access_flags);
    access    = access.equals("")? "" : (access + " ");
    signature = Utility.signatureToString(getSignature());
    name      = getName();

    StringBuffer  buf = new StringBuffer(access + signature + " " + name);
    ConstantValue cv  = getConstantValue();

    if(cv != null)
      buf.append(" = " + cv);

    for(int i=0; i < attributes_count; i++) {
      Attribute a = attributes[i];

      if(!(a instanceof ConstantValue))
	buf.append(" [" + a.toString() + "]");
    }

    return buf.toString();
