jget-field

Function

Package: javatools.jlinker

Arguments: class-ref-or-field field-or-instance &optional instance value

This function is associated with the macro jfield. The macro allows compile-time collection of java class names and method signatures. This information is used to generate a file of class and method definitions that may be loaded to initialize an application, and avoid the class and method lookup overhead in the body of the application.

There are three valid argument patterns to this operator:

• field-name instance: In this case, the class is derived from the instance.
• class-ref field-name: In this case, the reference is to a static field.
• class-ref field-name instance: This is an explicit reference to a class field.

If the value argument is given, the field is assigned.

See jlinker.htm for more information on the jLinker facility.
