             throws StructuralIntercessionException

Add the provided generic type to the specified class.

Parameters:

clazz - A java.lang.Class or a jmplib.reflect.Class

types - Set of generic types to be used to add to the existing ones.

Throws:

StructuralIntercessionException - If problems with the metaprogramming primitives are detected (exception message indicates the concrete problem, as it wraps the inner exception)

setGenericType

void setGenericType(java.lang.reflect.Type clazz,
                    TypeVariable<?>... types)
             throws StructuralIntercessionException

Replace the generic types of the specified class with the provided ones.

Parameters:

clazz - A java.lang.Class or a jmplib.reflect.Class

types - Set of generic types to be used to replace the existing ones.

Throws:

StructuralIntercessionException - If problems with the metaprogramming primitives are detected (exception message indicates the concrete problem, as it wraps the inner exception)

addGenericType

default void addGenericType(java.lang.reflect.Method met,
                            TypeVariable<?>... types)
                     throws StructuralIntercessionException

Add the provided generic types to the specified method.

Parameters:

met - A java.lang.reflect.Method or a jmplib.reflect.Method instance

types - Set of annotations to be used to add to the existing ones.

Throws:

StructuralIntercessionException - If problems with the metaprogramming primitives are detected (exception message indicates the concrete problem, as it wraps the inner exception)

addGenericType

void addGenericType(Method met,
                    TypeVariable<?>... types)
             throws StructuralIntercessionException

Throws:

StructuralIntercessionException

setGenericType

default void setGenericType(java.lang.reflect.Method met,
                            TypeVariable<?>... types)
                     throws StructuralIntercessionException

Replace the generic types of a method with the provided ones.

Parameters:

met - Method to change the generic types to

types - Set of annotations to be used to replace the existing ones.

Throws:

StructuralIntercessionException - If problems with the metaprogramming primitives are detected (exception message indicates the concrete problem, as it wraps the inner exception)

setGenericType

void setGenericType(Method met,
                    TypeVariable<?>... types)
             throws StructuralIntercessionException

Throws:

StructuralIntercessionException

commit

default void commit()
             throws StructuralIntercessionException

Performs the operations indicated to the intercessor, if the intercessor has the ability to store the operations until they are executed at the same time. This enables the creation of a single class version with all the specified operations included, instead of a new version per operation. Some intercessors may not have an implementation for this operation. Therefore, is implemented as empty by default.

Throws:

StructuralIntercessionException - If problems with the metaprogramming primitives are detected (exception message indicates the concrete problem, as it wraps the inner exception)
