Returns:

the name of the key in the translation files.

hasCause

boolean hasCause()

Returns true if there is a cause element, otherwise false.

Returns:

true if there is a cause element, otherwise false

isOverloaded

boolean isOverloaded()

Returns true if the method is overloaded, otherwise false .

Returns:

true if the method is overloaded, otherwise false

cause

Parameter cause()

Returns the cause element if hasCause() returns true, otherwise null.

Returns:

the cause element, otherwise null.

formatParameterCount

int formatParameterCount()

Returns the number of parameters minus the cause parameter count for the method.

Returns:

the number of parameters minus the cause parameter count for the method.
