getType

public abstract java.lang.Class getType(java.lang.String methodName,
                                        int index)

An implementation should return a Class instance representing the type a complex parameter value (a struct or an array) at the given index should be unmarshalled as.

A null return value will result in the parameter value being unmarshalled into a Map instance if, and only if, the parameter value is an XML-RPC struct and a List instance if, and only if, the value is an XML-RPC array.

The returned Class must be accessible, instantiable, and have an accessible default constructor.

Parameters:

methodName - The name of the XML-RPC method call being unmarshalled.

index - The index of the parameter value being unmarshalled.

Returns:

The Class for the type the parameter value should be unmarshalled as, assuming it is a struct or an array.
