Class TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical

java.lang.Object

net.bytebuddy.pool.TypePool.AbstractBase

net.bytebuddy.pool.TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical

All Implemented Interfaces:

TypePool

Direct Known Subclasses:

TypePool.ClassLoading, TypePool.Default, TypePool.Explicit

Enclosing class:

TypePool.AbstractBase

@HashCodeAndEqualsPlugin.Enhance
public abstract static class TypePool.AbstractBase.Hierarchical
extends TypePool.AbstractBase

Implements a hierarchical view of type pools, similarly to class loader hierarchies. For every lookup, the parent type pool is asked first if it can resolve a type. Only if the parent (and potentially its parents) are unable to resolve a type, this instance is queried for a type description.
