[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JASSIST-235?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Maximilian Scherr updated JASSIST-235: -------------------------------------- Description: The method {{getEnclosingMethod()}} in {{CtClassType}} (or {{CtClass}}) only works with methods. However, the JVM's {{Enclosing Method Attribute}} is not restricted to non-constructor methods ({{CtMethod}}). Method-local inner classes can be declared within constructors. I suggest the addition of a {{getEnclosingBehavior()}} method as follows: {code:title=getEnclosingBehavior|borderStyle=solid} public CtBehavior getEnclosingBehavior() throws NotFoundException { ClassFile cf = getClassFile2(); EnclosingMethodAttribute ema = (EnclosingMethodAttribute)cf.getAttribute( EnclosingMethodAttribute.tag); if (ema != null) { CtClass enc = classPool.get(ema.className()); String name = ema.methodName(); switch (name) { case MethodInfo.nameInit: return enc.getConstructor(ema.methodDescriptor()); case MethodInfo.nameClinit: return enc.getClassInitializer(); default: return enc.getMethod(name, ema.methodDescriptor()); } } return null; } {code} was: The method getEnclosingMethod() in CtClassType (or CtClass) only works with methods.
