Method Detail

isUnboundedForType

boolean isUnboundedForType(java.lang.String typeSignature)

Parameters:
typeSignature -
Returns:
true if this type can have unbounded property key for the indicated type. For example, a Java 1.4 Map could potentially have a value of any time for a particular key, so this method would always return true. However a Java5 Map would only return true if typeSignature is-a String.

getUnboundedProperty

ISymbol getUnboundedProperty(java.lang.Object name,
                             java.lang.String typeSignature)

Parameters:
name -
typeSignature -
Returns:
a symbol corresponding to the property of this type desc with name called 'name' of type 'typeSignature'. Must return null if isPropNameUnconstrainedForType returns false for 'typeSignature'. Generally should return something meaningful (even if just an object) when isPropNameUnconstrainedForType returns true.
