BindingConventions

We shall shortly sketch how XRayInterface binds the interface to the underlying object:

• Methods annotated with @SetProperty(XXX) are bound
  • to a newly synthesized setter of a field with name XXX
• Methods annotated with @GetProperty(XXX) are bound
  • to a newly synthesized getter of a field with name XXX
• Methods annotated with @Construct are bound
  • to a constructor of same signature
• Methods annotated with @Delegate(XXX) are bound
  • to a method of same signature with name XXX
• Methods of the pattern void setXXX(Type val); are bound
  • to the method of same signature, if existing
  • to a newly synthesized setter of a field with name XXX of type Type
• Methods of the pattern Type getXXX(); are bound
  • to the method of same signature, if existing
  • to a newly synthesized getter of a field with name XXX of type Type
• Methods of the pattern Type newType(...) are bound
  • to the static method with name newType of same signature, if existing
  • to a constructor of Type with matching signature
• all other methods are bound to
  • to the method of same signature, if existing
