setDebug

public static void setDebug(boolean b)

isDebug

public static boolean isDebug()

matchEntryFast

public DBEntry<M> matchEntryFast(java.lang.Class<?>[] args)

!Quickly! return the most specific (first) Match from the entries. Returns null if none is found.

reduce

public List<DBEntry<M>> reduce(java.lang.Class<?>[] args)

Reduce the Methods to only those applicable to the argument Types.

match

public M match(java.lang.Class<?>[] args)

Find the best Match (if any) from this MethodDB for the given argument Types. Returns null if none is found.

matchEntrys

public List<DBEntry<M>> matchEntrys(java.lang.Class<?>[] args)

Find all the Matches (if any) from this MethodDB for the given argument Types and sort them from more to less specific

matchEntry

public DBEntry<M> matchEntry(java.lang.Class<?>[] args)

Return the most specific (first) Match from the entries. Returns null if none is found.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Normal toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString(java.lang.String s)

Return a String representation of this MethodDB with s in between the method entries

prefixApp

public List<DBEntry<M>> prefixApp(java.lang.Class<?> c)

Filter the DBEntries based on the number of arguments and the type of the first argument. Greater than one means that they place a constraint on the traversal of an instance of "c" (if applicable)
