Method Detail

visit

public void visit(int access,
                  java.lang.String name,
                  java.lang.String superName,
                  java.lang.String[] interfaces,
                  java.lang.String sourceFile)
Visits the header of the class.

Parameters:
access - the class's access flags (see Constants). This parameter also indicates if the class is deprecated.
name - the internal name of the class (see getInternalName).
superName - the internal of name of the super class (see getInternalName). For interfaces, the super class is Object. May be null, but only for the java.lang.Object class.
interfaces - the internal names of the class's interfaces (see getInternalName). May be null.
sourceFile - the name of the source file from which this class was compiled. May be null.

visitInnerClass

public void visitInnerClass(java.lang.String name,
                            java.lang.String outerName,
                            java.lang.String innerName,
                            int access)
Visits information about an inner class. This inner class is not necessarily a member of the class being visited.

Parameters:
name - the internal name of an inner class (see getInternalName).
outerName - the internal name of the class to which the inner class belongs (see getInternalName). May be null.
innerName - the (simple) name of the inner class inside its enclosing class. May be null for anonymous inner classes.
access - the access flags of the inner class as originally declared in the enclosing class.

visitField

public void visitField(int access,
                       java.lang.String name,
                       java.lang.String desc,
                       java.lang.Object value)
Visits a field of the class.

Parameters:
access - the field's access flags (see Constants). This parameter also indicates if the field is synthetic and/or deprecated.
name - the field's name.
desc - the field's descriptor (see Type).
value - the field's initial value. This parameter, which may be null if the field does not have an initial value, must be an Integer, a Float, a Long, a Double or a String.

visitMethod

public CodeVisitor visitMethod(int access,
                               java.lang.String name,
                               java.lang.String desc,
                               java.lang.String[] exceptions)
Visits a method of the class. This method must return a new CodeVisitor instance (or null) each time it is called, i.e., it should not return a previously returned visitor.

Parameters:
access - the method's access flags (see Constants). This parameter also indicates if the method is synthetic and/or deprecated.
name - the method's name.
desc - the method's descriptor (see Type).
exceptions - the internal names of the method's exception classes (see getInternalName). May be null.
Returns:
an object to visit the byte code of the method, or null if this class visitor is not interested in visiting the code of this method.

visitEnd

public void visitEnd()
Visits the end of the class. This method, which is the last one to be called, is used to inform the visitor that all the fields and methods of the class have been visited.
