```
public ConstantPoolEntry(int tagValue,
                         int entries)
```
    Initialise the constant pool entry.
    
    Parameters:
    
    tagValue - the tag value which identifies which type of constant pool entry this is.
    
    entries - the number of constant pool entry slots this entry occupies.
- Method Detail
  - getNumEntries
```
public final int getNumEntries()
```
    Get the number of Constant Pool Entry slots within the constant pool occupied by this entry.
    
    Returns:
    
    the number of slots used.
  - getTag
```
public int getTag()
```
    Get the Entry's type tag.
    
    Returns:
    
    The Tag value of this entry
  - isResolved
```
public boolean isResolved()
```
    Indicates whether this entry has been resolved. In general a constant pool entry can reference another constant pool entry by its index value. Resolution involves replacing this index value with the constant pool entry at that index.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this entry has been resolved.
  - read
```
public abstract void read(DataInputStream cpStream)
                   throws IOException
```
    read a constant pool entry from a class stream.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cpStream - the DataInputStream which contains the constant pool entry to be read.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if there is a problem reading the entry from the stream.
  - readEntry
```
public static ConstantPoolEntry readEntry(DataInputStream cpStream)
                                   throws IOException
```
    Read a constant pool entry from a stream. This is a factory method which reads a constant pool entry form a stream and returns the appropriate subclass for the entry.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cpStream - the stream from which the constant pool entry is to be read.
    
    Returns:
    
    the appropriate ConstantPoolEntry subclass representing the constant pool entry from the stream.
    
    Throws:
    
    IOException - if the constant pool entry cannot be read from the stream
  - resolve
```
public void resolve(ConstantPool constantPool)
```
    Resolve this constant pool entry with respect to its dependents in the constant pool.
    
    Parameters:
    
    constantPool - the constant pool of which this entry is a member and against which this entry is to be resolved.
