Factory method.
Params:
  • decl – - the reflective object that declared the type variable that this method should create
  • name – - the name of the type variable to be returned
  • bs – - an array of ASTs representing the bounds for the type variable to be created
  • f – - a factory that can be used to manufacture reflective objects that represent the bounds of this type variable
Returns:A type variable with name, bounds, declaration and factory specified

Returns an array of Type objects representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable. Note that if no upper bound is explicitly declared, the upper bound is Object.

For each upper bound B:

  • if B is a parameterized type or a type variable, it is created, (see ParameterizedType for the details of the creation process for parameterized types).
  • Otherwise, B is resolved.
Throws:
  • TypeNotPresentException if any of the – bounds refers to a non-existent type declaration
  • MalformedParameterizedTypeException if any of the – bounds refer to a parameterized type that cannot be instantiated for any reason
Returns:an array of Types representing the upper bound(s) of this type variable
