Method Details

next

public URL next()

Description copied from interface: TypedGenerator

Generates the next instance based on the generator's configuration. Implementations must ensure thread-safety.

Specified by:

next in interface TypedGenerator<URL>

Returns:

A newly created instance. May be null if the generator explicitly supports null value generation.

getType

public Class<URL> getType()

Description copied from interface: TypedGenerator

Provides type information about what kind of objects this generator creates. The default implementation uses the first non-null result from TypedGenerator.next() to determine the type.

Note: If your generator may return null values or the generated type differs from the actual instance type, you should override this method.

Specified by:

getType in interface TypedGenerator<URL>

Returns:

The class information indicating which type this generator is responsible for.
