Returns:

getArity

int getArity()

Returns the number of parameters that this method takes (as declared in the JavaScript source).

Returns:

getDeclaringClass

jsx3.lang.Class | jsx3.lang.Package getDeclaringClass()

Returns the class that defined this method.

Returns:

getFunction

Function getFunction()

Returns the native JavaScript function of this method.

Returns:

getName

String getName()

Returns the name of the method. The name of the method is determined when the class is defined.

Returns:

getParameterName

String getParameterName(intIndex : int)

Parameters:

intIndex – the index of the parameter name to return

Returns:

getParameterNames

Array<String> getParameterNames()

Returns the names of parameters that this method takes (as declared in the JavaScript source).

Returns:

isAbstract

boolean isAbstract()

Returns true if this method is abstract. Abstract methods will throw an Exception if they are invoked.

Returns:

isPackageMethod

boolean isPackageMethod()

Returns whether the definer of this class (returned by getDeclaringClass()) is in fact a package.

Returns:

isStatic

boolean isStatic()

Returns true if this method is static (is a class method).

Returns:

newAbstract

static Function newAbstract(paramNames : String...)

Creates a new abstract method.
