Method Detail

getAllMethods

public static List<Method> getAllMethods(Class<?> c,
                                         Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)

Returns a set of Methods that contain the given method annotation. This includes all public, protected, package and private methods, as well as those of superclasses. Note that this does *not* include overridden methods.

Parameters:

c - class to inspect

annotationType - the type of annotation to look for

Returns:

List of Method objects that require injection.

getAllMethodsShallow

Returns a set of Methods that contain the given method annotation. This includes all public, protected, package and private methods, but not those of superclasses and interfaces.

Parameters:

c - class to inspect

annotationType - the type of annotation to look for

Returns:

List of Method objects that require injection.

getAnnotatedFields

public static List<Field> getAnnotatedFields(Class<?> c,
                                             Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)

                                String methodName)

findMethod

public static Method findMethod(Class<?> type,
                                String methodName,
                                Class<?>[] parameters)

findMethod

public static Method findMethod(Class<?> type,
                                String methodName,
                                String[] parameters)
                         throws ClassNotFoundException

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException

setValue

public static void setValue(Object instance,
                            String fieldName,
                            Object value)

invokeAccessibly

public static Object invokeAccessibly(Object instance,
                                      Method method,
                                      Object[] parameters)

Invokes a method using reflection, in an accessible manner (by using AccessibleObject.setAccessible(boolean)

Parameters:

instance - instance on which to execute the method

method - method to execute

parameters - parameters

findGetterForField

public static Method findGetterForField(Class<?> c,
                                        String fieldName)

findSetterForField

public static Method findSetterForField(Class<?> c,
                                        String fieldName)

extractFieldName

public static String extractFieldName(String setterOrGetter)

getValue

public static Object getValue(Object instance,
                              String fieldName)

Retrieves the value of a field of an object instance via reflection

Parameters:

instance - to inspect

fieldName - name of field to retrieve

Returns:

a value

getAnnotation

public static <T extends Annotation> T getAnnotation(Class<?> clazz,
                                                     Class<T> ann)

Inspects the class passed in for the class level annotation specified. If the annotation is not available, this method recursively inspects superclasses and interfaces until it finds the required annotation.

Returns null if the annotation cannot be found.

Parameters:

clazz - class to inspect

ann - annotation to search for. Must be a class-level annotation.

Returns:

the annotation instance, or null

isAnnotationPresent

public static boolean isAnnotationPresent(Class<?> clazz,
                                          Class<? extends Annotation> annotation)

Tests whether an annotation is present on a class. The order tested is:

• The class itself
• All implemented interfaces
• Any superclasses

Parameters:

clazz - class to test

annotation - annotation to look for

Returns:

true if the annotation is found, false otherwise
