public final class FieldSetter
extends Object

A setter for a (possibly final) field, which allows for correct object initialization of Serializable objects with readObject() methods, even in the presence of final fields.

void	set(Object instance, Object value) Set the value of the field to the given object.
void	setBoolean(Object instance, boolean value) Set the value of the field to the given value.
void	setByte(Object instance, byte value) Set the value of the field to the given value.
void	setChar(Object instance, char value) Set the value of the field to the given value.
void	setDouble(Object instance, double value) Set the value of the field to the given value.
void	setFloat(Object instance, float value) Set the value of the field to the given value.
void	setInt(Object instance, int value) Set the value of the field to the given value.
void	setLong(Object instance, long value) Set the value of the field to the given value.
