Represents an annotated element of the program currently running in this VM.
GenericArrayTypeGenericArrayType
represents an array type whose component type is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
A common interface for all entities that declare type variables.
InvocationHandlerInvocationHandler
is the interface implemented by the invocation handler of a proxy instance.
Member is an interface that reflects identifying information about a single member (a field or a method) or a constructor.
ParameterizedTypeParameterizedType represents a parameterized type such as Collection<String>.
TypeType is the common superinterface for all types in the Java programming language.
TypeVariable<D extends GenericDeclaration>TypeVariable is the common superinterface for type variables of kinds.
WildcardTypeWildcardType represents a wildcard type expression, such as ?
, ? extends Number
, or ? super Integer
.
The AccessibleObject class is the base class for Field, Method and Constructor objects.
ArrayThe Array
class provides static methods to dynamically create and access Java arrays.
Constructor
provides information about, and access to, a single constructor for a class.
A Field
provides information about, and dynamic access to, a single field of a class or an interface.
A Method
provides information about, and access to, a single method on a class or interface.
The Modifier class provides static
methods and constants to decode class and member access modifiers.
Proxy
provides static methods for creating dynamic proxy classes and instances, and it is also the superclass of all dynamic proxy classes created by those methods.
The Permission class for reflective operations.
InvocationTargetException is a checked exception that wraps an exception thrown by an invoked method or constructor.
MalformedParameterizedTypeExceptionThrown when a semantically malformed parameterized type is encountered by a reflective method that needs to instantiate it.
UndeclaredThrowableExceptionThrown by a method invocation on a proxy instance if its invocation handler's
invoke
method throws a checked exception (a
Throwable
that is not assignable to
RuntimeException
or
Error
) that is not assignable to any of the exception types declared in the
throws
clause of the method that was invoked on the proxy instance and dispatched to the invocation handler.
Thrown when a syntactically malformed signature attribute is encountered by a reflective method that needs to interpret the generic signature information for a type, method or constructor.
Provides classes and interfaces for obtaining reflective information about classes and objects. Reflection allows programmatic access to information about the fields, methods and constructors of loaded classes, and the use of reflected fields, methods, and constructors to operate on their underlying counterparts, within security restrictions.
AccessibleObject
allows suppression of access checks if the necessary ReflectPermission
is available.
Array
provides static methods to dynamically create and access arrays.
Classes in this package, along with java.lang.Class
accommodate applications such as debuggers, interpreters, object inspectors, class browsers, and services such as Object Serialization and JavaBeans that need access to either the public members of a target object (based on its runtime class) or the members declared by a given class.
