Method Detail

create

public static java.lang.Class create(java.lang.Class[] classes,
                                     java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

Create a interface consisting of all the public methods of the specified classes. Methods from superclasses are included, except for methods declared in the base Object class (e.g. getClass(), equals(), hashCode()).

Parameters:

classes - the class array

loader - ClassLoader for enhanced class, uses "current" if null

create

public static java.lang.Class create(java.lang.Class[] classes,
                                     MethodFilter filter,
                                     java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

Create a interface consisting of all the public methods of the specified classes. Methods from superclasses are included, including methods declared in the base Object class.

Parameters:

classes - the class array

filter - the MethodFilter used to limit which methods are generated in the interface

loader - ClassLoader for enhanced class, uses "current" if null

create

public static java.lang.Class create(java.lang.reflect.Method[] methods,
                                     java.lang.ClassLoader loader)

Create a interface consisting of all the specified methods. The access flags on the methods are ignored (all interface methods are by definition abstract and public).

Parameters:

methods - the methods to generate

loader - ClassLoader for enhanced class, uses "current" if null
