Method Summary

boolean	areConstructorsAllowed() Should return true iff the filter allows constructors to be contained in the output.
boolean	areDeclaredOnly() If filter is used to retrieve members from a class, this method should return true iff only members that are declared in the given class are to be returned, discarding members that are declared in superclasses or superinterfaces.
boolean	areFieldsAllowed() Should return true iff the filter allows fields.
boolean	areMethodsAllowed() Should return true iff the filter allows methods.
boolean	arePublicOnly() Should return true iff the filter discards all the non-public members.
boolean	isAllowed(java.lang.reflect.Member member) When other methods in this class are not sufficient for the filter implementation, this method should be used.
