JReflect.LookupMode (Java Reflection 3.0.0 API)

java.lang.Object
- java.lang.Enum<JReflect.LookupMode>
- - org.bbottema.javareflection.JReflect.LookupMode

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<JReflect.LookupMode>

Enclosing class:

JReflect
```
public static enum JReflect.LookupMode
extends Enum<JReflect.LookupMode>
```
Defines lookup modes for matching Java methods and constructors. Each time a lookup failed on signature type, a less strict lookup is performed, in the following order (signature means: the list of parameters defined for a method or constructor):
1. exact matching: the given type should exactly match the found types during lookup. This lookup cycle is always performed first.
2. autobox matching: the given type should match its boxed/unboxed version.
3. polymorphic interface matching: the given type should match one of the implemented interfaces
4. polymorphic superclass matching: the given type should match one of the super classes (for each superclass, the cycle is repeated, so exact and interface matching come first again before the next superclass up in the chain)
5. common conversion matching: if all other lookups fail, one last resort is to try to convert the given type, if a common type, to any other common type and then try to find a matching method or constructor. See ValueConversionHelper for more on the possibilities.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants
Enum Constant and Description
`AUTOBOX` Indicates that looking for methods includes trying to find compatible signatures by autoboxing the specified arguments.
`CAST_TO_INTERFACE` Indicates that looking for methods includes trying to find compatible signatures by casting the specified arguments to an implemented interface.
`CAST_TO_SUPER` Indicates that looking for methods includes trying to find compatible signatures by casting the specified arguments to a super type.
`COMMON_CONVERT` Indicates that looking for methods includes trying to find compatible signatures by automatically convert the specified arguments.

- Method Detail
  - values
```
public static JReflect.LookupMode[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (JReflect.LookupMode c : JReflect.LookupMode.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static JReflect.LookupMode valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
