public boolean isPrimitive()

test if this field is a primitive or not.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o)

Compare this with another ObjectStreamField. return -1 if this is smaller, 0 if equal, 1 if greater types that are primitives are "smaller" than objects. if equal, the names are compared.

Specified by:

compareTo in interface Comparable

typeEquals

public boolean typeEquals(ObjectStreamField other)

Compare the types of two class descriptors. The match if they have the same primitive types. or if they are both objects and the object types match.

getSignature

toString

public String toString()

Return a string describing this field.

Overrides:

toString in class Object

getClazz

public Class getClazz()

getFieldID
