Class RecursiveTypeVisitor

java.lang.Object

uk.co.strangeskies.reflection.TypeVisitor

uk.co.strangeskies.reflection.RecursiveTypeVisitor

public class RecursiveTypeVisitor
extends TypeVisitor

An implementation of TypeVisitor which provides recursion over the related types specified by the arguments passed to constructor. Supertypes of parameterized types are visited without those type arguments passed through.

This means that if the type List<String> is visited, the supertype Collections<E> will be visited subsequently, rather than Collection<String>. If the type String is visited, on the other hand, the supertype Comparable<String> will be visited. If the raw type List is visited, then the raw supertype Collection will be visited subsequently.
