Method Detail

handleReflectionException

public static void handleReflectionException(Exception ex)

Handle the given reflection exception. Should only be called if no checked exception is expected to be thrown by the target method.

Throws the underlying RuntimeException or Error in case of an InvocationTargetException with such a root cause. Throws an IllegalStateException with an appropriate message else.

Parameters:

ex - the reflection exception to handle

handleInvocationTargetException

public static void handleInvocationTargetException(InvocationTargetException ex)

Handle the given invocation target exception. Should only be called if no checked exception is expected to be thrown by the target method.

Throws the underlying RuntimeException or Error in case of such a root cause. Throws an IllegalStateException else.

Parameters:

ex - the invocation target exception to handle

invokeMethod

public static Object invokeMethod(Method method,
                                  Object target)

Invoke the specified Method against the supplied target object with no arguments The target object can be null when invoking a static Method.

See Also:

invokeMethod(java.lang.reflect.Method, Object, Object[])

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.

Thrown exceptions are handled via a call to handleReflectionException(Exception).

See Also:

invokeMethod(java.lang.reflect.Method, Object, Object[])

getDeclaredField

public static Field getDeclaredField(Class<?> type,
                                     String fieldName)

Gets the declared field named 'fieldName' from the 'type' class. If 'type' does not declare such field, tries to get to get this field from 'type' parent class. This procedure continues until a matching field is found or until Object is reached in which case, null is returned.

isPublicStaticFinal

public static boolean isPublicStaticFinal(Field field)

Determine whether the given field is a "public static final" constant.

Parameters:

field - the field to check

makeAccessible

public static void makeAccessible(Field field)

Make the given field accessible, explicitly setting it accessible if necessary. The setAccessible(true) method is only called when actually necessary, to avoid unnecessary conflicts with a JVM SecurityManager (if active).

Parameters:

field - the field to make accessible

See Also:

AccessibleObject.setAccessible(java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject[], boolean)
