Method Detail

getDeclaredMethods

public static List<Method> getDeclaredMethods(Class<?> theClazz)

Returns all methods declared against theClazz. This method returns a predictable order, which is sorted by method name and then by parameters.

This method does not include superclass methods (see getDeclaredMethods(Class, boolean) if you want to include those.

getDeclaredMethods

public static List<Method> getDeclaredMethods(Class<?> theClazz,
                                              boolean theIncludeMethodsFromSuperclasses)

Returns all methods declared against theClazz. This method returns a predictable order, which is sorted by method name and then by parameters.

describeMethodInSortFriendlyWay

public static String describeMethodInSortFriendlyWay(Method theMethod)

Returns a description like startsWith params(java.lang.String, int) returns(boolean). The format is chosen in order to provide a predictable and useful sorting order.

getGenericCollectionTypeOfField

public static Class<?> getGenericCollectionTypeOfField(Field next)

getGenericCollectionTypeOfFieldWithSecondOrderForList

public static Class<?> getGenericCollectionTypeOfFieldWithSecondOrderForList(Field next)

For a field of type List>, returns Foo

getGenericCollectionTypeOfMethodParameter

public static Class<?> getGenericCollectionTypeOfMethodParameter(Method theMethod,
                                                                 int theParamIndex)

getGenericCollectionTypeOfMethodReturnType

public static Class<?> getGenericCollectionTypeOfMethodReturnType(Method theMethod)

isInstantiable

public static boolean isInstantiable(Class<?> theType)

newInstance

public static <T> T newInstance(Class<T> theType)

Instantiate a class by no-arg constructor, throw ConfigurationException if we fail to do so

newInstance

public static <T> T newInstance(Class<T> theType,
                                Class<?> theArgumentType,
