- org.springframework.beans.factory.support.MethodOverride

All Implemented Interfaces:
BeanMetadataElement
Direct Known Subclasses:
LookupOverride, ReplaceOverride
```
public abstract class MethodOverride
extends Object
implements BeanMetadataElement
```
Object representing the override of a method on a managed object by the IoC container.
Note that the override mechanism is not intended as a generic means of inserting crosscutting code: use AOP for that.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Concrete Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`boolean`	`equals(Object other)`
`String`	`getMethodName()`	Return the name of the method to be overridden.
`Object`	`getSource()`	Return the configuration source `Object` for this metadata element (may be `null`).
`int`	`hashCode()`
`protected boolean`	`isOverloaded()`	Return whether the overridden method is overloaded (i.e., whether argument type matching needs to occur to disambiguate methods of the same name).
`abstract boolean`	`matches(Method method)`	Subclasses must override this to indicate whether they match the given method.
`protected void`	`setOverloaded(boolean overloaded)`	Set whether the overridden method is overloaded (i.e., whether argument type matching needs to occur to disambiguate methods of the same name).
`void`	`setSource(Object source)`	Set the configuration source `Object` for this metadata element.

- Constructor Detail
  - MethodOverride
```
protected MethodOverride(String methodName)
```
    Construct a new override for the given method.
    Parameters:
    methodName - the name of the method to override
- Method Detail
  - getMethodName
```
public String getMethodName()
```
    Return the name of the method to be overridden.
  - setOverloaded
```
protected void setOverloaded(boolean overloaded)
```
    Set whether the overridden method is overloaded (i.e., whether argument type matching needs to occur to disambiguate methods of the same name).
    Default is true; can be switched to false to optimize runtime performance.
  - isOverloaded
```
protected boolean isOverloaded()
```
    Return whether the overridden method is overloaded (i.e., whether argument type matching needs to occur to disambiguate methods of the same name).
  - setSource
```
public void setSource(Object source)
```
    Set the configuration source Object for this metadata element.
    The exact type of the object will depend on the configuration mechanism used.
  - getSource
```
public Object getSource()
```
    Description copied from interface: BeanMetadataElement
    Return the configuration source Object for this metadata element (may be null).
    Specified by:
    getSource in interface BeanMetadataElement
  - matches
```
public abstract boolean matches(Method method)
```
    Subclasses must override this to indicate whether they match the given method. This allows for argument list checking as well as method name checking.
    Parameters:
    method - the method to check
    Returns:
    whether this override matches the given method
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(Object other)
```
    Overrides:
    equals in class Object
  - hashCode
```
public int hashCode()
```
    Overrides:
    hashCode in class Object
