Constructors Summary
ObjectStreamField(String n, Class clazz) Create a named field with the specified type. name = n; this.clazz = clazz; // Compute the typecode for easy switching if (clazz.isPrimitive()) { if (clazz == Integer.TYPE) { type = 'I"; } else if (clazz == Byte.TYPE) { type = 'B"; } else if (clazz == Long.TYPE) { type = 'J"; } else if (clazz == Float.TYPE) { type = 'F"; } else if (clazz == Double.TYPE) { type = 'D"; } else if (clazz == Short.TYPE) { type = 'S"; } else if (clazz == Character.TYPE) { type = 'C"; } else if (clazz == Boolean.TYPE) { type = 'Z"; } } else if (clazz.isArray()) { type = '["; typeString = ObjectStreamClass.getSignature(clazz); } else { type = 'L"; typeString = ObjectStreamClass.getSignature(clazz); } if (typeString != null) signature = typeString; else signature = String.valueOf(type);
ObjectStreamField()
ObjectStreamField(Field field) this(field.getName(), field.getType()); setField( field ) ;
ObjectStreamField(String n, char t, Field f, String ts) Create an ObjectStreamField containing a reflected Field. name = n; type = t; setField( f ) ; typeString = ts; if (typeString != null) signature = typeString; else signature = String.valueOf(type);

Methods Summary
public int	compareTo(java.lang.Object o) Compare this with another ObjectStreamField. return -1 if this is smaller, 0 if equal, 1 if greater types that are primitives are "smaller" than objects. if equal, the names are compared. ObjectStreamField f2 = (ObjectStreamField)o; boolean thisprim = (this.typeString == null); boolean otherprim = (f2.typeString == null); if (thisprim != otherprim) { return (thisprim ? -1 : 1); } return this.name.compareTo(f2.name);
public java.lang.Class	getClazz() return clazz;
java.lang.reflect.Field	getField() return field;
public long	getFieldID() return fieldID ;
public java.lang.String	getName() Get the name of this field. return name;
public java.lang.String	getSignature() return signature;
public java.lang.Class	getType() Get the type of the field. if (clazz != null) return clazz; switch (type) { case 'B": clazz = Byte.TYPE; break; case 'C": clazz = Character.TYPE; break; case 'S": clazz = Short.TYPE; break; case 'I": clazz = Integer.TYPE; break; case 'J": clazz = Long.TYPE; break; case 'F": clazz = Float.TYPE; break; case 'D": clazz = Double.TYPE; break; case 'Z": clazz = Boolean.TYPE; break; case '[": case 'L": clazz = Object.class; break; } return clazz;
public char	getTypeCode() return type;
public java.lang.String	getTypeString() return typeString;
public boolean	isPrimitive() test if this field is a primitive or not. return (type != '[" && type != 'L");
void	setField(java.lang.reflect.Field field) this.field = field; this.fieldID = bridge.objectFieldOffset( field ) ;
public java.lang.String	toString() Return a string describing this field. if (typeString != null) return typeString + " " + name; else return type + " " + name;
public boolean	typeEquals(com.sun.corba.se.impl.io.ObjectStreamField other) Compare the types of two class descriptors. The match if they have the same primitive types. or if they are both objects and the object types match. if (other == null || type != other.type) return false; /* Return true if the primitive types matched */ if (typeString == null && other.typeString == null) return true; return ObjectStreamClass.compareClassNames(typeString, other.typeString, '/");
