SimpleElementVisitor6 JDK 1.6)

Description

@SupportedSourceVersion (value=RELEASE_6)
public class SimpleElementVisitor6

A simple visitor of program elements with default behavior appropriate for the RELEASE_6 source version.

A simple visitor of program elements with default behavior appropriate for the RELEASE_6 source version. Visit methods corresponding to RELEASE_6 language constructs call SimpleElementVisitor6.defaultAction(javax.lang.model.element.Element, P), passing their arguments to defaultAction's corresponding parameters.

Methods in this class may be overridden subject to their general contract. Note that annotating methods in concrete subclasses with @Override will help ensure that methods are overridden as intended.

WARNING: The ElementVisitor interface implemented by this class may have methods added to it in the future to accommodate new, currently unknown, language structures added to future versions of the Java™ programming language. Therefore, methods whose names begin with "visit" may be added to this class in the future; to avoid incompatibilities, classes which extend this class should not declare any instance methods with names beginning with "visit".

When such a new visit method is added, the default implementation in this class will be to call the visitUnknown method. A new simple element visitor class will also be introduced to correspond to the new language level; this visitor will have different default behavior for the visit method in question. When the new visitor is introduced, all or portions of this visitor may be deprecated.

Methods

Hide/Show inherited methods

protected R defaultAction (Element e, P p)

The default action for visit methods.

publicfinal R visit (Element e) [Inherited From AbstractElementVisitor6]

Visits any program element as if by passing itself to that element's accept method and passing null for the additional parameter.

Visits any program element as if by passing itself to that
element's accept method and passing
null for the additional parameter. The invocation
v.visit(elem) is equivalent to

elem.accept(v,
 null)

.
Returns: a visitor-specified result
Parameters:
- e - the element to visit

publicfinal R visit (Element e, P p) [Inherited From AbstractElementVisitor6]

Visits any program element as if by passing itself to that element's accept method.

Visits any program element as if by passing itself to that
element's accept method. The invocation
v.visit(elem) is equivalent to

elem.accept(v,
 p)

.
Returns: a visitor-specified result
Parameters:
- e - the element to visit
- p - a visitor-specified parameter

public R visitExecutable (ExecutableElement e, P p)

Visits an executable element. This implementation calls defaultAction.

Visits an executable element. This implementation calls defaultAction.
Returns: the result of {@code defaultAction}
Parameters:
- e - {@inheritDoc}
- p - {@inheritDoc}

public R visitPackage (PackageElement e, P p)

Visits a package element. This implementation calls defaultAction.

Visits a package element. This implementation calls defaultAction.
Returns: the result of {@code defaultAction}
Parameters:
- e - {@inheritDoc}
- p - {@inheritDoc}

public R visitType (TypeElement e, P p)

Visits a type element. This implementation calls defaultAction.

Visits a type element. This implementation calls defaultAction.
Returns: the result of {@code defaultAction}
Parameters:
- e - {@inheritDoc}
- p - {@inheritDoc}

public R visitTypeParameter (TypeParameterElement e, P p)

Visits a type parameter element. This implementation calls defaultAction.

Visits a type parameter element. This implementation calls defaultAction.
Returns: the result of {@code defaultAction}
Parameters:
- e - {@inheritDoc}
- p - {@inheritDoc}

public R visitUnknown (Element e, P p) [Inherited From AbstractElementVisitor6]

Visits an unknown kind of element.

Visits an unknown kind of element. This can occur if the language evolves and new kinds of elements are added to the Element hierarchy.

The default implementation of this method in AbstractElementVisitor6 will always throw UnknownElementException. This behavior is not required of a subclass.
Returns: a visitor-specified result
Parameters:
- e - the element to visit
- p - a visitor-specified parameter
Throws:
- UnknownElementException - a visitor implementation may optionally throw this exception

public R visitVariable (VariableElement e, P p)

Visits a variable element. This implementation calls defaultAction.

Visits a variable element. This implementation calls defaultAction.
Returns: the result of {@code defaultAction}
Parameters:
- e - {@inheritDoc}
- p - {@inheritDoc}
