# Class IntersectionTypeClassNode

java.lang.Object
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ASTNode
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.AnnotatedNode
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.ClassNode
org.codehaus.groovy.ast.IntersectionTypeClassNode

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `GroovydocHolder<AnnotatedNode>`, `NodeMetaDataHandler`

public final class IntersectionTypeClassNode extends ClassNode
Represents a user-written intersection type used as the target of a cast expression or `as` coercion, e.g.

         (Runnable & Serializable) () -> ...
         value as (A & B)

Distinct from the implicit lowest-upper-bound nodes that `StaticTypeCheckingVisitor` synthesizes during inference: an instance of this class records the ordered list of components exactly as written by the user. That ordering is needed for cast-conversion checks, error messages and (in later phases) bytecode generation via `LambdaMetafactory.altMetafactory` markers.

Lifecycle: at parse time the components have not yet been resolved to bound `ClassNode`s, so the constructor places all components in the inherited `interfaces` array with `Object` as the placeholder superclass. After `ResolveVisitor` resolves each component it should call `reclassifyComponents()` so that the interfaces array contains only interface components and the superclass is the (at most one) class component.

Since:
  6.0.0

  Description
  `ClassNode[]`
  `getComponents()`
  Returns the components of this intersection type in user-written order.

- ## Method Details

  - ### getComponents

    public ClassNode[] getComponents()
    Returns the components of this intersection type in user-written order.

  - ### reclassifyComponents

    public void reclassifyComponents()
    Reclassifies the components after resolution: separates the (at most one) class component from the interface components and updates the inherited superclass and interfaces accordingly. Components are resolved in place — callers do not need to substitute new instances.

  - ### getText

    public String getText()
    Description copied from class: `ASTNode`
    Returns a human-readable text representation of this AST node. Used for debugging and error messages. Default implementation returns a message indicating the representation is not yet implemented for this node type.
    Overrides:
      `getText` in class `ClassNode`
    Returns:
      text representation of this node, or placeholder for unimplemented types

  - ### toString

    public String toString(boolean showRedirect)
    Description copied from class: `ClassNode`
    Returns a string representation of this ClassNode with optional redirect information. For array types, appends "[]" to the component type's string representation. For generic types, includes generic type parameters (e.g., "List"). If `showRedirect` is `true` and this is a redirect node, includes arrow notation showing the redirect target; otherwise the redirect information is omitted.
    Overrides:
      `toString` in class `ClassNode`
    Parameters:
      `showRedirect` - if `true`, includes redirect information in the output; if `false`, omits it
    Returns:
      a string representation of this ClassNode
