    public class FieldGen

extends FieldGenOrMethodGen

Template class for building up a field. The only extraordinary thing one can do is to add a constant value attribute to a field (which must of course be compatible with to the declared type).

Constructor Detail

### FieldGen

    public FieldGen(int access_flags,
                    Type type,
                    String name,
                    ConstantPoolGen cp)

  Declare a field. If it is static (isStatic() == true) and has a basic type like int or String it may have an initial value associated with it as defined by setInitValue().

  Parameters:
    `access_flags` - access qualifiers
    `type` - field type
    `name` - field name
    `cp` - constant pool

### FieldGen

    public FieldGen(Field field,
                    ConstantPoolGen cp)

  Instantiate from existing field.

  Parameters:
    `field` - Field object
    `cp` - constant pool (must contain the same entries as the field's constant pool)

Method Detail

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(String str)

  Set (optional) initial value of field, otherwise it will be set to null/0/false by the JVM automatically.

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(long l)

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(int i)

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(short s)

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(char c)

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(byte b)

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(boolean b)

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(float f)

### setInitValue

    public void setInitValue(double d)

### cancelInitValue

    public void cancelInitValue()

  Remove any initial value.

### getField

    public Field getField()

  Get field object after having set up all necessary values.

### getSignature

    public String getSignature()

  Specified by:
    `getSignature` in class `FieldGenOrMethodGen`
  Returns:
    signature of method/field.

### addObserver

    public void addObserver(FieldObserver o)

  Add observer for this object.

### removeObserver

    public void removeObserver(FieldObserver o)

  Remove observer for this object.

### update

    public void update()

  Call notify() method on all observers. This method is not called automatically whenever the state has changed, but has to be called by the user after he has finished editing the object.

### getInitValue

    public String getInitValue()

### toString

    public final String toString()

  Return string representation close to declaration format, `public static final short MAX = 100', e.g..

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Object`
  Returns:
    String representation of field

### copy

    public FieldGen copy(ConstantPoolGen cp)

  Returns:
    deep copy of this field

### getComparator

    public static BCELComparator getComparator()

  Returns:
    Comparison strategy object

### setComparator

    public static void setComparator(BCELComparator comparator)

  Parameters:
    `comparator` - Comparison strategy object

### equals

    public boolean equals(Object obj)

  Return value as defined by given BCELComparator strategy. By default two FieldGen objects are said to be equal when their names and signatures are equal.

  Overrides:
    `equals` in class `Object`
  See Also:
    `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`

### hashCode

    public int hashCode()

  Return value as defined by given BCELComparator strategy. By default return the hashcode of the field's name XOR signature.

  Overrides:
    `hashCode` in class `Object`
  See Also:
    `Object.hashCode()`
