Method Details

resolve

public <T> Class<T> resolve()

Attempts to resolve the type.

Type Parameters:

T - The resolved type.

Returns:

The corresponding class object if the type exists; null otherwise.

instantiate

public <T> T instantiate(Class<?>[] paramTypes,
 Object[] paramValues)

Attempts to instantiate the type.

Type Parameters:

T - The type to instantiate.

Parameters:

paramTypes - The types of the constructor parameters of the constructor that we want to call.

paramValues - The values that we want to pass into the constructor.

Returns:

An instance of the type given in the constructor with the given parameter values, or null if the type does not exist.

Throws:

ReflectionException - If instantiation fails.

callFactory

public <T> T callFactory(String factoryMethod,
 Class<?>[] paramTypes,
 Object[] paramValues)

Attempts to call a static factory method on the type.

Type Parameters:

T - The return type of the factory method.

Parameters:

factoryMethod - The name of the factory method.

paramTypes - The types of the parameters of the specific overload of the factory method we want to call.

paramValues - The values that we want to pass into the factory method.

Returns:

An instance of the type given by the factory method with the given parameter values, or null of the type does not exist.

Throws:

ReflectionException - If the call to the factory method fails.

callFactory

public <T> T callFactory(String factoryTypeName,
 String factoryMethod,
 Class<?>[] paramTypes,
 Object[] paramValues)

Attempts to call a static factory method on a type.

Type Parameters:

T - The return type of the factory method.

Parameters:

factoryTypeName - The type that contains the factory method.

factoryMethod - The name of the factory method.

paramTypes - The types of the parameters of the specific overload of the factory method we want to call.

paramValues - The values that we want to pass into the factory method.

Returns:

An instance of the type given by the factory method with the given parameter values, or null of the type does not exist.

Throws:

ReflectionException - If the call to the factory method fails.

returnConstant

public <T> T returnConstant(String constantName)

Attempts to resolve a static constant on the type.

Type Parameters:

T - The type of the constant.

Parameters:

constantName - The name of the constant.

Returns:

The value of the constant, or null if the type does not exist.

Throws:

ReflectionException - If resolving the constant fails.
