javax.lang.model.type.TypeVariable

TypeVariable

Java SE 6

Represents a type variable. A type variable may be explicitly declared by a type parameter of a type, method, or constructor. A type variable may also be declared implicitly, as by the capture conversion of a wildcard type argument (see chapter 5 of The Java Language Specification, Third Edition).

Methods

public Element

asElement() Details

Returns the element corresponding to this type variable.

return

the element corresponding to this type variable

Properties

public TypeMirror

getLowerBound() Details

Returns the lower bound of this type variable. While a type parameter cannot include an explicit lower bound declaration, capture conversion can produce a type variable with a non-trivial lower bound. Type variables otherwise have a lower bound of NullType.

return

the lower bound of this type variable

public TypeMirror

getUpperBound() Details

Returns the upper bound of this type variable.

If this type variable was declared with no explicit upper bounds, the result is java.lang.Object. If it was declared with multiple upper bounds, the result is an intersection type (modeled as a DeclaredType). Individual bounds can be found by examining the result's supertypes.

return the upper bound of this type variable
