Java Source Reflection - getLines doesn't work ?

["Minjat Florian (Consultant)" <fl...@consultant.volvo.com>]

Hi,

I need to use reflextion on a source file to extract information and
generate an xml file. I found the jaxme project and especially its Java
Source Reflection part very interresting.

I especially liked the possibility to use Reflection on a method body.
But by looking deeper in the API, it doesn't seem to be possible to read
the metamodel of a method body, only to write it (addIf, newJavaField,
...).

My next step was to get the bare contents of a JavaMethod and get the
information I need with regular expression. But when I call getLines on
a JavaMethod I get an empty list. This fonctionality doesn't exist or do
I misuse the API ?
Here is my code : 

JavaMethod rr = myJavaSource.getMethod("myMeth", new JavaQName[]
{JavaQNameImpl.getInstance("com.bla.bla","myParam")});
Iterator it = rr.getLines();
It.hasNext(); => false

I could get the method code using regular expression directly on the
source file but it's sad getLines doesn't work this way. Is there
another way ?

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Florian
