String typeName()

Returns a text representation of the type of this field. Where the type is the type specified in the declaration of this field.

This type name is always available even if the type has not yet been created or loaded.

Type type() throws ClassNotLoadedException

Returns the type of this field. Where the type is the type specified in the declaration of this field.

For example, if a target class defines:

    short s;
    Date d;
    byte[] ba;

And the JDI client defines these Field objects:

    Field sField = targetClass.fieldByName("s");
    Field dField = targetClass.fieldByName("d");
    Field baField = targetClass.fieldByName("ba");

to mirror the corresponding fields, then sField.type() is a ShortType, dField.type() is the ReferenceType for java.util.Date and ((ArrayType)(baField.type())).componentType() is a ByteType.

Note: if the type of this field is a reference type (class, interface, or array) and it has not been created or loaded by the declaring type's class loader - that is, declaringType() .classLoader(), then ClassNotLoadedException will be thrown. Also, a reference type may have been loaded but not yet prepared, in which case the type will be returned but attempts to perform some operations on the returned type (e.g. fields()) will throw a ClassNotPreparedException. Use ReferenceType.isPrepared() to determine if a reference type is prepared.

boolean isTransient()

Determine if this is a transient field.

boolean isVolatile()

Determine if this is a volatile field.

boolean isEnumConstant()

Determine if this is a field that represents an enum constant.

boolean equals(Object obj)

Compares the specified Object with this field for equality.

int hashCode()

Returns the hash code value for this Field.
