org.eclipse.jdt.core.dom.SuperConstructorInvocation

public class SuperConstructorInvocation
extends Statement

Super constructor invocation statement AST node type. For JLS2: *

 SuperConstructorInvocation:
     [ Expression . ] super
         ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] ) ;
 

For JLS3, type arguments are added:

 SuperConstructorInvocation:
     [ Expression . ]
         [ < Type { , Type } > ]
         super ( [ Expression { , Expression } ] ) ;
 

Since:

2.0

Restriction:

This class is not intended to be instantiated by clients.

Since:

3.0

TYPE_ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor TYPE_ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

The "typeArguments" structural property of this node type (element type: Type) (added in JLS3 API).

Since:

3.1

ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

public static final ChildListPropertyDescriptor ARGUMENTS_PROPERTY

The "arguments" structural property of this node type (element type: Expression).

Since:

3.0

Method Detail

propertyDescriptors

public static List propertyDescriptors(int apiLevel)

Returns a list of structural property descriptors for this node type. Clients must not modify the result.

Parameters:

apiLevel - the API level; one of the AST.JLS* constants

Returns:

a list of property descriptors (element type: StructuralPropertyDescriptor)

Since:

3.0

getExpression

public Expression getExpression()

Returns the expression of this super constructor invocation statement, or null if there is none.

Returns:

the expression node, or null if there is none

setExpression

public void setExpression(Expression expression)

Sets or clears the expression of this super constructor invocation statement.

Parameters:

expression - the expression node, or null if there is none

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if:

• the node belongs to a different AST
• the node already has a parent
• a cycle in would be created

typeArguments

public List typeArguments()

Returns the live ordered list of type arguments of this constructor invocation (added in JLS3 API).

Returns:

the live list of type arguments (element type: Type)

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - if this operation is used in a JLS2 AST

Since:

3.1

arguments

public List arguments()

Returns the live ordered list of argument expressions in this super constructor invocation statement.

Returns:

the live list of argument expressions (element type: Expression)

resolveConstructorBinding

public IMethodBinding resolveConstructorBinding()

Resolves and returns the binding for the constructor invoked by this expression.

Note that bindings are generally unavailable unless requested when the AST is being built.

Returns:

the constructor binding, or null if the binding cannot be resolved
