TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical

java.lang.Object
- net.bytebuddy.pool.TypePool.AbstractBase
- - net.bytebuddy.pool.TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical

All Implemented Interfaces:

TypePool

Direct Known Subclasses:

TypePool.ClassLoading, TypePool.Default, TypePool.Explicit

Enclosing class:

TypePool.AbstractBase
```
@Enhance
public abstract static class TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical
extends TypePool.AbstractBase
```
Implements a hierarchical view of type pools, similarly to class loader hierarchies. For every lookup, the parent type pool is asked first if it can resolve a type. Only if the parent (and potentially its parents) are unable to resolve a type, this instance is queried for a type description.

- Field Detail
  - parent
```
private final TypePool parent
```
    The parent type pool.
- Constructor Detail
  - Hierarchical
```
protected Hierarchical(TypePool.CacheProvider cacheProvider,
                       TypePool parent)
```
    Creates a hierarchical type pool.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cacheProvider - The cache provider to be used.
    
    parent - The parent type pool to be used.
- Method Detail
  - describe
```
public TypePool.Resolution describe(java.lang.String name)
```
    Locates and describes the given type by its name.
    
    Specified by:
    
    describe in interface TypePool
    
    Overrides:
    
    describe in class TypePool.AbstractBase
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - The name of the type to describe. The name is to be written as when calling Object.toString() on a loaded Class.
    
    Returns:
    
    A resolution of the type to describe. If the type to be described was found, the returned TypePool.Resolution represents this type. Otherwise, an illegal resolution is returned.
  - clear
```
public void clear()
```
    Clears this type pool's cache.
    
    Specified by:
    
    clear in interface TypePool
    
    Overrides:
    
    clear in class TypePool.AbstractBase
