Method Detail

register

public static void register(Class<?>... classes)

Makes the provided classes available for reflection at run time. A call to Class.forName(java.lang.String) for the names of the classes will return the classes at run time.

Since:

19.0

register

public static void register(Executable... methods)

Makes the provided methods available for reflection at run time. The methods will be returned by Class.getMethod(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class<?>...), Class.getMethods(),and all the other methods on Class that return a single or a list of methods.

Since:

19.0

registerAsQueried

public static void registerAsQueried(Executable... methods)

Makes the provided methods available for reflection queries at run time. The methods will be returned by Class.getMethod(java.lang.String, java.lang.Class<?>...), Class.getMethods(), and all the other methods on Class that return a single or a list of methods, but will not be invocable and will not be considered reachable.

Since:

21.3

register

public static void register(Field... fields)

Makes the provided fields available for reflection at run time. The fields will be returned by Class.getField(java.lang.String), Class.getFields(),and all the other methods on Class that return a single or a list of fields.

Since:

19.0

registerForReflectiveInstantiation

public static void registerForReflectiveInstantiation(Class<?>... classes)

Makes the provided classes available for reflective instantiation by Class.newInstance(). This is equivalent to registering the nullary constructors of the classes.

Since:

19.0
