Reflection - The Java Reflection API

With the introduction of Java Beans was also the birth of Reflection (formerly " Introspection ")

forced initiated because objects were previously found only in static structures. This in turn

meantthat the classes had already at compile be available. Because of this fact but the genericapplication

form request can not be extended to the interface of a plugin, corresponded, it wasdecided to introduce

a new technique? Introspection (later Reflection ).

The term Reflection here means that programs which are a generic design to be able put in for herclasses

(unknown such as by direct user input) to create instances of objects. The Reflection APIincludes the

following features:

Determine the class of an object

Details of Klassenmodifikatoren, members, methods, constructors, and superclasses get.

Get out what constants and method declarations belong to an interface.

Creating an instance of a class known until runtime.

Reading and setting of values of a member even if the member is known by name at run time.

Calling methods of an unknown object at runtime.

Generation of arrays, the size and type until run time are not known and modifications to theindividual array components.
