Method Details

doWithClasses

public static void doWithClasses(Class<?> clazz,
 ReflectionHelper.ClassCallback cc)

Perform the given callback operation on the nested (inner) classes.

Parameters:

clazz - class to start looking at

cc - the callback to invoke for each inner class (excluding the class itself)

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

doWithFields

public static void doWithFields(Class<?> clazz,
 ReflectionHelper.FieldCallback fc)
                         throws IllegalArgumentException

Invoke the given callback on all fields in the target class, going up the class hierarchy to get all declared fields.

Parameters:

clazz - the target class to analyze

fc - the callback to invoke for each field

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

doWithMethods

public static void doWithMethods(Class<?> clazz,
 ReflectionHelper.MethodCallback mc)
                          throws IllegalArgumentException

Perform the given callback operation on all matching methods of the given class and superclasses (or given interface and super-interfaces).

Important: This method does not take the bridge methods into account.

Parameters:

clazz - class to start looking at

mc - the callback to invoke for each method

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException

findField

public static Field findField(Class<?> clazz,
 String name)

Attempt to find a field on the supplied Class with the supplied name and/or type. Searches all superclasses up to Object.

Parameters:

clazz - the class to introspect

name - the name of the field (may be null if type is specified)

Returns:

the corresponding Field object, or null if not found

findMethod

public static Method findMethod(Class<?> clazz,
 String name,
 Class<?>... paramTypes)

Attempt to find a Method on the supplied class with the supplied name and parameter types. Searches all superclasses up to Object.

Returns null if no Method can be found.

Parameters:

clazz - the class to introspect

name - the name of the method

paramTypes - the parameter types of the method (may be null to indicate any signature)

Returns:

the Method object, or null if none found

invokeMethod

public static Object invokeMethod(Method method,
 Object target,
 Object... args)

Invoke the specified Method against the supplied target object with the supplied arguments. The target object can be null when invoking a static Method.

Parameters:

method - the method to invoke

target - the target object to invoke the method on

args - the invocation arguments (maybe null)

Returns:

the invocation result, if any

setField

public static void setField(Field f,
 Object instance,
 Object value)

getField

public static Object getField(Field f,
 Object instance)
