Usage

To retrieve information about an Apex class, create an ApexClass object that references it. For example code, see SOAP Calls.

To edit, save, or compile Apex classes, use ApexClassMember.

If there is not a cached version of SymbolTable, it will be compiled in the background and the query might take longer than expected. The SymbolTable returned from ApexClass does not contain references; to retrieve a SymbolTable with references, use ApexClassMember.
