Method Detail

getReadLocator

public CodeLocator getReadLocator()

Same as getReadLocator(USER_SIDE).

getReadLocator(int)

getReadLocator

public CodeLocator getReadLocator(int side)

This methods returns the points where the current field is read.

There are two different behaviors for this method depending on the side of the locator. At the user side, the locator designates all the points in methods bodies where the field is read (similarly to Code.getReadLocator(Field)). At the provider side, it really may depend on the implementor choice (e.g. it can return a locator on the body of the field's getter).

In Java, the user side is most of the time used so that you can use the method getReadLocator().

Parameters:

side - USER_SIDE || PROVIDER_SIDE

public CodeLocator getWriteLocator()
