Method Details
- visit
  
  public void visit(GroovyCodeVisitor visitor)
  
  Overrides:
  
  visit in class ASTNode
- transformExpression
  
  public Expression transformExpression(ExpressionTransformer transformer)
  
  Description copied from class: Expression
  
  Return a copy of the expression calling the transformer on any nested expressions
  
  Specified by:
  
  transformExpression in class Expression
- getArguments
  
  public Expression getArguments()
  
  Specified by:
  
  getArguments in interface MethodCall
- setArguments
  
  public void setArguments(Expression arguments)
- getMethod
  
  public Expression getMethod()
- setMethod
  
  public void setMethod(Expression method)
- getMethodAsString
  
  public String getMethodAsString()
  
  This method returns the method name as String if it is no dynamic calculated method name, but a constant.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getMethodAsString in interface MethodCall
- getObjectExpression
  
  public Expression getObjectExpression()
- setObjectExpression
  
  public void setObjectExpression(Expression objectExpression)
- getReceiver
  
  public ASTNode getReceiver()
  
  Specified by:
  
  getReceiver in interface MethodCall
- getText
  
  public String getText()
  
  Specified by:
  
  getText in interface MethodCall
  
  Overrides:
  
  getText in class ASTNode
- isSafe
  
  public boolean isSafe()
  
  Returns:
  
  is this a safe method call, i.e. if true then if the source object is null then this method call will return null rather than throwing a null pointer exception
- setSafe
  
  public void setSafe(boolean safe)
- isSpreadSafe
  
  public boolean isSpreadSafe()
- setSpreadSafe
  
  public void setSpreadSafe(boolean value)
- isImplicitThis
  
  public boolean isImplicitThis()
  
  Returns:
  
  true if no object expression was specified otherwise if some expression was specified for the object on which to evaluate the method then return false
- setImplicitThis
  
  public void setImplicitThis(boolean implicitThis)

  public GenericsType[] getGenericsTypes()
- setGenericsTypes
  
  public void setGenericsTypes(GenericsType[] genericsTypes)
- isUsingGenerics
  
  public boolean isUsingGenerics()
- getMethodTarget
  
  public MethodNode getMethodTarget()
  
  Returns:
  
  the target as method node if set
- setMethodTarget
  
  public void setMethodTarget(MethodNode mn)
  
  Sets a method call target for a direct method call. WARNING: A method call made this way will run outside of the MOP!
  
  Parameters:
  
  mn - the target as MethodNode, mn==null means no target
- setSourcePosition
  
  public void setSourcePosition(ASTNode node)
  
  Description copied from class: ASTNode
  
  Sets the source position using another ASTNode. The sourcePosition consists of a line/column pair for the start and a line/column pair for the end of the expression or statement
  
  Overrides:
  
  setSourcePosition in class ASTNode
  
  Parameters:
  
  node - - the node used to configure the position information
- toString
  
  public String toString()
  
  Overrides:
  
  toString in class Object
