nonPackageQualifiedName

public static String nonPackageQualifiedName(Object object)

Parameters:

object - An object.

Returns:

The non-package-qualified name of the class of the specified object. Note, inner class names will still be qualified by their enclosing class names and a "$" delimiter.

toString

public static String toString(Object object,
                              int includeInheritedFieldDepth)

Parameters:

object -

includeInheritedFieldDepth -

Returns:

A string representation of the specified object, consisting of its class name, properties, and property values.

isFullyQualifiedClassname

public static boolean isFullyQualifiedClassname(String classname)

Determine whether the supplied string represents a well-formed fully-qualified Java classname. This utility method enforces no conventions (e.g., packages are all lowercase) nor checks whether the class is available on the classpath.

Parameters:

classname -

Returns:

true if the string is a fully-qualified class name

loadClassStrict

public static Class<?> loadClassStrict(String classname)
                                throws ClassNotFoundException

Loads the class using either the current thread's context class loader or, if that is null, the system class loader.

Parameters:

classname - name of the class to load

Returns:

the class

Throws:

ClassNotFoundException - if the class could not be found
