21 TypeVariable is the common superinterface for type variables of kinds. A type
22 variable is created the first time it is needed by a reflective method, as
23 specified in this package. If a type variable t is referenced by a type (i.e,
24 class, interface or annotation type) T, and T is declared by the nth enclosing
25 class of T (see JLS 8.1.2), then the creation of t requires the resolution (see
26 JVMS 5) of the ith enclosing class of T, for i = 0 to n, inclusive. Creating a
27 type variable must not cause the creation of its bounds. Repeated creation of a
28 type variable has no effect.
30 Multiple objects may be instantiated at run-time to represent a given type
31 variable. Even though a type variable is created only once, this does not imply
32 any requirement to cache instances representing the type variable. However, all
33 instances representing a type variable must be equal() to each other. As a
34 consequence, users of type variables must not rely on the identity of instances
35 of classes implementing this interface.
37 The type parameter D represents the type of generic declaration that declared
38 the underlying type variable.
41 *java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getBounds()*
43 public |java.lang.reflect.Type| getBounds()
45 Returns an array of Type objects representing the upper bound(s) of this type
46 variable. Note that if no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound
49 For each upper bound B: if B is a parameterized type or a type variable, it is
50 created, (see ParameterizedType(|java.lang.reflect.ParameterizedType|) for the
51 details of the creation process for parameterized types). Otherwise, B is
55 Returns: an array of Types representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable
56 *java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getGenericDeclaration()*
58 public |java.lang.reflect.GenericDeclaration| getGenericDeclaration()
60 Returns the GenericDeclaration object representing the generic declaration
61 declared this type variable.
64 Returns: the generic declaration declared for this type variable.
65 *java.lang.reflect.TypeVariable.getName()*
67 public |java.lang.String| getName()
69 Returns the name of this type variable, as it occurs in the source code.
72 Returns: the name of this type variable, as it appears in the source code
