Public Methods

public ConstructorExecutor resolve (EvaluationContext context, String typename, List<TypeDescriptor> argumentTypes)

Locate a constructor on the type. There are three kinds of match that might occur:

  1. An exact match where the types of the arguments match the types of the constructor
  2. An in-exact match where the types we are looking for are subtypes of those defined on the constructor
  3. A match where we are able to convert the arguments into those expected by the constructor, according to the registered type converter.

Parameters
context the current evaluation context
typename the type upon which to look for the constructor
argumentTypes the arguments that the constructor must be able to handle
Returns
  • a ConstructorExecutor that can invoke the constructor, or null if non found
Throws
AccessException
