Sep 1, 2008 · Java Reflection makes it possible to inspect classes, interfaces, fields and methods at runtime, without knowing the names of the classes, methods etc. at compile time. It is also possible to instantiate new objects, invoke methods and get/set field values using reflection. A quick Java Reflection example to show you what using reflection looks ...
class Dummy { private void safeMethod() { StackTraceElement[] st = new Exception().getStackTrace(); // If a method was invoked by reflection, the stack trace would be similar // to something like this: /* java.lang.Exception at package1.b.Dummy.safeMethod(SomeClass.java:38) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke ...
Jan 12, 2009 · Because reflection involves types that are dynamically resolved, certain Java virtual machine optimizations can not be performed. Consequently, reflective operations have slower performance than their non-reflective counterparts, and should be avoided in sections of code which are called frequently in performance-sensitive applications.
Apr 12, 2013 · Anyway, reflection does not allow you to change code behaviour, it can only explore current code, invoke methods and constuctors, change fields values, that kind of things. If you want to actually change the behaviour of a method you would have to use a bytecode manipulation library such as ASM.
Oct 6, 2013 · Here's a simple example of invoking a method using reflection involving primitives. import java.lang ...
I have am getting a method, and checking method.getParameterTypes()[0], which is a java.util.List. But I want to figure out what the containing type is, for instance if it's a java.util.List<String> I want to figure out that it should hold strings. How do I do this? Thanks!
Now you may wonder: "What even is the point of doing all this non-object oriented programming in Java?" My use case was to solve Project Euler problems in Java. I have a single Java source file containing all the solutions, and I wanted to pass in command line arguments to determine which Project Euler problem to run.
Java reflection - enum generate. 4. Java enum reflection when enum is inside a class. 1. Reflection on ...
Nov 15, 2012 · Not exactly the answer for reflection based values access, but there's always the way for doing stuff better and more efficiently - without reflection! At compile time we can use annotation processing libraries and using the library pojo-analyzers we can access the getters and setters of the field (without reflection, therefore the most performant option).
Apr 23, 2013 · But this is pretty ugly, and I left out all of the try-catches, and makes a number of assumptions (public field, reflection available, nice security manager). If you can change your method to return a List<Foo> , this becomes very easy because the iterator then can give you type information:
