Class ConstructorInvocation


java.lang.Object
  

org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ASTNode
      

org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.Statement
          
org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.ConstructorInvocation

public class ConstructorInvocation
extends Statement
extends Statement

Alternate constructor invocation statement AST node type. For JLS2:

 ConstructorInvocation:
                this ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] ) ;

For JLS3, type arguments are added:

 ConstructorInvocation:
      [ < Type { , Type } > ]
                      this ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] ) ;

Since:: 2.0
Restriction:: This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.

Field Summary

static ChildListPropertyDescriptor ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY
          The "arguments" structural property of this node type.

static ChildListPropertyDescriptor TYPE_ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY
          The "typeArguments" structural property of this node type (added in JLS3 API).

Field Detail

TYPE_ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

public static final 
ChildListPropertyDescriptor TYPE_ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

The "typeArguments" structural property of this node type (added in JLS3 API).

Since:: 3.1

ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

public static final 
ChildListPropertyDescriptor ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

The "arguments" structural property of this node type.

Since:: 3.0

Method Detail

propertyDescriptors

public static 
List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)

Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

Parameters:: apiLevel - the API level; one of the AST.JLS* constants
Returns:: a list of property descriptors (element type: StructuralPropertyDescriptor)
Since:: 3.0

typeArguments

public 
List typeArguments()

Returns the live ordered list of type arguments of this constructor invocation (added in JLS3 API).

Returns:: the live list of type arguments (element type: Type)
Throws:: UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is used in a JLS2 AST
Since:: 3.1

arguments

public 
List arguments()

Returns the live ordered list of argument expressions in this alternate constructor invocation statement.

Returns:: the live list of argument expressions (element type: Expression)

resolveConstructorBinding

public 
IMethodBinding resolveConstructorBinding()

Resolves and returns the binding for the constructor invoked by this expression.

Note that bindings are generally unavailable unless requested when the AST is being built.

Returns:: the constructor binding, or null if the binding cannot be resolved
