Interface InnerClassesAttribute

All Superinterfaces:

Attribute, BytesCountable, java.lang.Cloneable

All Known Implementing Classes:

InnerClasses

public interface InnerClassesAttribute
extends Attribute

Class representing an Inner Classes Attribute. The InnerClasses attribute5 is a variable-length attribute in the attributes table of the ClassFile structure. If the constant pool of a class or interface refers to any class or interface that is not a member of a package, its ClassFile structure must have exactly one InnerClasses attribute in its attributes table.

Method Summary

java.util.List<InnerClassesTableEntry>	getClasses() Every CONSTANT_Class_info entry in the constant_pool table which represents a class or interface C that is not a package member must have exactly one corresponding entry in the classes array.
int	getNumberOfClasses() The number_of_classes defines how many entries are stored into the classes array.

Method Detail

getNumberOfClasses

int getNumberOfClasses()

The number_of_classes defines how many entries are stored into the classes array. This data structure can be provided via the setClasses method shaped as a List.

Returns:

int The number of entries of the classes array

getClasses

java.util.List<InnerClassesTableEntry> getClasses()

Every CONSTANT_Class_info entry in the constant_pool table which represents a class or interface C that is not a package member must have exactly one corresponding entry in the classes array. If a class has members that are classes or interfaces, its constant_pool table (and hence its InnerClasses attribute) must refer to each such member, even if that member is not otherwise mentioned by the class. These rules imply that a nested class or interface member will have InnerClasses information for each enclosing class and for each immediate member.

Returns:

List This List will contain instances of the InnerClassesTableEntry class
