Class FieldActor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    EventListener, IGProp<GProp<?>[]>, IPropCnr, java.lang.Cloneable
    public class FieldActor
extends MethodReference2
    The VirtualSpace Field Actor property holds the reference, and the annotation values for implementing Operations, and Source and Target classes for Conversion.

    Two variants are supported:

    1. As for classic MethodReference:
      a Java class reference "ClassReference" is held by a parent container in the tree, and this method reference is a simple name without '.' and is the method in the class.
    2. a static method reference in a class, where this name is the fully qualified class name with the method name last.
