Method Details

wrapPrimitive

public static <T> Class<T> wrapPrimitive(Class<T> clazz)

Wrap given class to it's primitive class if it's matching a primitive class.

array - an Object array

Returns:

a Class array, null if null array input

toArgs

public static Object[] toArgs(Function<Class<?>,Object> valueSupplier,
 Class<?>... array)

Converts an array of values provided by an array of Class and Function supplying value for each class into an array of Object

Parameters:

valueSupplier - supplier of values for each class

array - array of class

Returns:

array of values

getDefault

public static <T> T getDefault(Class<T> type)

Get default value for given type.

Type Parameters:

T - type of value

Parameters:

type - type of value to get the default

Returns:

default value

Retrieve the constructor of a class for given argument types.

Type Parameters:

T - type to retrieve the constructor from

Parameters:

cls - class to retrieve the constructor from

argsTypes - argument types

Returns:

matching constructor for given argument values

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if a matching method is not found.

getConstructorOptional

public static <T> Constructor<T> getConstructorOptional(int mandatoryCount,
 Class<T> cls,
 Class<?>... argsTypes)
                                                 throws NoSuchMethodException

Retrieve the constructor of a class for given optional argument types, considering mandatory values at the beginning of the given types.

Type Parameters:

T - type to retrieve the constructor from

Parameters:

mandatoryCount - number of mandatory arguments at the beginning of the given arguments

cls - class to retrieve the constructor from

argsTypes - argument types

Returns:

matching constructor for given optional argument values

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - if a matching method is not found.

newInstance
