Method Summary

ReflectElement	findCompatible(ReflectElement[] p_elements, Object[] p_params) Finds the reflected element that is compatible with the given parameters.
boolean	isPartialApplicationPossible(ReflectElement[] p_elements, Object[] p_params) Determines if the given parameters can be partially applied to at least one of the reflected elements.

Method Detail

findCompatible

ReflectElement findCompatible(ReflectElement[] p_elements,
                              Object[] p_params)
                              throws FunctionException

Finds the reflected element that is compatible with the given parameters.

Parameters:

p_elements - the elements from which to find the compatible element.

p_params - the parameters with which the element must be compatible.

Returns:

the element that is compatible with the given parameters.

Throws:

FunctionException - thrown if no element is compatible.

isPartialApplicationPossible

boolean isPartialApplicationPossible(ReflectElement[] p_elements,
                                     Object[] p_params)

Determines if the given parameters can be partially applied to at least one of the reflected elements.

Parameters:

p_elements - the possible reflected elements.

p_params - the parameters to be partially applied.

Returns:

true if the given parameters can be partially applied to at least one reflected element, false otherwise.
