Direct Known Subclasses:
EditorMethodReference
```
public class MethodReference

- Field Detail
  - requiredAnnotation
```
protected java.lang.String requiredAnnotation
```
    The required annotation, or null for none.
  - runtimeMethod
```
protected java.lang.reflect.Method runtimeMethod
```
    The method for runtime, null for none.
- Constructor Detail
  - MethodReference
```
protected MethodReference()
```
    Creates a Method Reference property with no name and with a null value.
  - MethodReference
```
public MethodReference(Atom propertyAtom)
```
    Creates a Method Reference property with the specified name with a null value.
    Parameters:
    propertyAtom - the property atom.
  - MethodReference
```
public MethodReference(Atom propertyAtom,
                       java.lang.String newValue)
```
    Creates a Class Reference property with the specified name and value.
    Parameters:
    propertyAtom - the property atom.
    newValue - the new string value for the property.
- Method Detail
  - isPropPrivateAtCreation
```
protected boolean isPropPrivateAtCreation()
```
    Called upon creation of the property to check it's private state. This is used by properties that are not distributed to the remote party.
    Overrides:
    isPropPrivateAtCreation in class GProp<java.lang.String>
    Returns:
    true, always.
  - equalsErrors
```
protected boolean equalsErrors(PropError pe1,
                               PropError pe2,
                               int how)
```
    Processes error property verification. The default processing is to verify the two error properties pe1 and pe2 for equality if includeErrors is 0 or 1, and returns true if the value is 2=no comparison with error properties.
    Override to verify property errors for reference properties.
    Overrides:
    equalsErrors in class GProp<java.lang.String>
    Parameters:
    pe1 - The first error property, may be null.
    pe2 - The second error property, may be null.
    how - Flags EQC_* values for equal checking.
    Returns:
    Equality flag depending on includeErrors value.
  - initializeElement
```
protected void initializeElement(org.w3c.dom.Element element)
```
    Called when the XML file for the property tree is serialized from properties. The property should fill attributes and nodes with appropriate information.
    Overrides:
    initializeElement in class GProp<java.lang.String>
    Parameters:
    element - The Element to initialize.
  - initializeProp
```
protected void initializeProp(org.w3c.dom.Element element)
                       throws PropException
```
    Called to initialize the property from an Element. The property should initialize itself from attributes and nodes with appropriate information.
    Overrides:
    initializeProp in class GProp<java.lang.String>
    Parameters:
    element - The Element.
    Throws:
    PropException - when the initialization fails.
  - lookupMethod
```
public java.lang.reflect.Method lookupMethod(ClassReference classReference,
                                             java.util.List<java.lang.Throwable> errors,
                                             java.lang.Class<?>... parameterTypes)
```
    Called when the application is being prepared by the owner of the method reference to look-up the method with the specified parameters.
    Parameters:
    classReference - The class reference instance.
    errors - A list of errors that occurred but did not cause an abort.
    parameterTypes - The list of parameters.
  - getRuntimeMethod
```
public java.lang.reflect.Method getRuntimeMethod()
```
    Gets the loaded method for runtime.
    Returns:
    The loaded method, or null for none.
