Method Detail

findConstructor

public Constructor findConstructor(Class p_class,
                                   Class[] p_types)
                            throws NoSuchMethodException

Finds the constructor of the given class that accepts parameters of the specified types.

Parameters:

p_class - the class from which to find the constructor.

p_types - the types of the parameters accepted by the constructor.

Returns:

the constructor that was found.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - thrown if no matching constructor was found.

findConstructors

public Constructor[] findConstructors(Class p_class)
                               throws NoSuchMethodException

Finds the constructors of the given class.

Parameters:

p_class - the class from which to find the constructors.

Returns:

the constructors that were found.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - thrown if no constructors were found.

findInstanceMethod

public Method findInstanceMethod(Class p_class,
                                 String p_name,
                                 Class[] p_types)
                          throws NoSuchMethodException

Finds the named instance method of the given class that accepts parameters of the specified types.

Parameters:

p_class - the class from which to find the method.

p_name - the name of the method.

p_types - the types of the parameters accepted by the method.

Returns:

the instance method that was found.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - thrown if no matching method was found.

findInstanceMethods

public Method[] findInstanceMethods(Class p_class,
                                    String p_name)
                             throws NoSuchMethodException

Finds the named instance methods of the given class.

Parameters:

p_class - the class from which to find the methods.

p_name - the name of the method.

Returns:

the instance methods that were found.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - thrown if no matching methods were found.

findStaticMethod

public Method findStaticMethod(Class p_class,
                               String p_name,
                               Class[] p_types)
                        throws NoSuchMethodException

Finds the named static method of the given class that accepts parameters of the specified types.

Parameters:

p_class - the class from which to find the method.

p_name - the name of the method.

p_types - the types of the parameters accepted by the method.

Returns:

the static method that was found.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - thrown if no matching method was found.

findStaticMethods

public Method[] findStaticMethods(Class p_class,
                                  String p_name)
                           throws NoSuchMethodException

Finds the named static methods of the given class.

Parameters:

p_class - the class from which to find the methods.

p_name - the name of the method.

Returns:

the static methods that were found.

Throws:

NoSuchMethodException - thrown if no matching methods were found.
