Class AbstractInvocationHandler

com.google.common.reflect.AbstractInvocationHandler

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler

@Beta
public abstract class AbstractInvocationHandler
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler

Abstract implementation of InvocationHandler that handles Object.equals(java.lang.Object), Object.hashCode() and Object.toString(). For example:

 class Unsupported extends AbstractInvocationHandler {
   protected Object handleInvocation(
       Object proxy, Method method, Object[] args) {
     throw new UnsupportedOperationException();
   }
 }

 CharSequence unsupported = Reflection.newProxy(CharSequence.class, new Unsupported());

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object obj)	By default delegates to Object.equals(java.lang.Object) so instances are only equal if they are identical.
int	hashCode()	By default delegates to Object.hashCode().
java.lang.Object	invoke(java.lang.Object proxy, java.lang.reflect.Method method, java.lang.Object[] args)
java.lang.String	toString()	By default delegates to Object.toString().

invoke

public final java.lang.Object invoke(java.lang.Object proxy,
                                     java.lang.reflect.Method method,
                                     @Nullable
                                     java.lang.Object[] args)
                              throws java.lang.Throwable

• proxy.hashCode() delegates to hashCode()
• proxy.toString() delegates to toString()
• proxy.equals(argument) returns true if:
  • proxy and argument are of the same type
  • and equals(java.lang.Object) returns true for the InvocationHandler of argument
• other method calls are dispatched to handleInvocation(java.lang.Object, java.lang.reflect.Method, java.lang.Object[]).

Specified by:

invoke in interface java.lang.reflect.InvocationHandler

Throws:

java.lang.Throwable

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object obj)

By default delegates to Object.equals(java.lang.Object) so instances are only equal if they are identical. proxy.equals(argument) returns true if:

• proxy and argument are of the same type
• and this method returns true for the InvocationHandler of argument

Subclasses can override this method to provide custom equality.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

hashCode

public int hashCode()

By default delegates to Object.hashCode(). The dynamic proxies' hashCode() will delegate to this method. Subclasses can override this method to provide custom equality.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

By default delegates to Object.toString(). The dynamic proxies' toString() will delegate to this method. Subclasses can override this method to provide custom string representation for the proxies.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object
