Method Detail

getInternalState

public static <T> T getInternalState(Object object,
                     String fieldName)

Get the value of a field using reflection. This method will iterate through the entire class hierarchy and return the value of the first field named fieldName. If you want to get a specific field value at specific place in the class hierarchy please refer to

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

object - the object to modify

fieldName - the name of the field

Returns:

the internal state #getInternalState(Object, String, Class).

getInternalState

public static <T> T getInternalState(Object object,
                     Class<T> fieldType)

Get the value of a field using reflection. This method will traverse the super class hierarchy until the first field of type fieldType is found. The value of this field will be returned.

Type Parameters:

T - the generic type

Parameters:

object - the object to modify

fieldType - the type of the field

Returns:

the internal state

throwExceptionIfFieldWasNotFound

public static void throwExceptionIfFieldWasNotFound(Class<?> type,
                                    String fieldName,
                                    Field field)

Throw exception if field was not found.

Parameters:

type - the type

fieldName - the field name

field - the field

getType

public static Class<?> getType(Object object)

Gets the type.

Parameters:

object - the object

Returns:

The type of the of an object.

getFieldAnnotatedWith

public static Field getFieldAnnotatedWith(Object object,
                          Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)

Get field annotated with a particular annotation. This method traverses the class hierarchy when checking for the annotation.

Parameters:

object - The object to look for annotations. Note that if're you're passing an object only instance fields are checked, passing a class will only check static fields.

annotationTypes - The annotation types to look for

Returns:

A set of all fields containing the particular annotation(s).

Since:

1.3

isClass

public static boolean isClass(Object argument)

Checks if is class.

Parameters:

argument - the argument

Returns:

true, if is class

getByNameAndType

public static <T> T getByNameAndType(Object object,
                     String fieldName,
                     Class<T> expectedFieldType)
