Method Detail

isReflectable

public static boolean isReflectable(Reflector reflector,
                                    java.lang.Class reflectedType,
                                    java.lang.Class reflectorType)
                             throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Indicates whether the given reflector can support the operations specified in reflectorType when reflecting instances of reflectedType.

Parameters:

reflector - the reflector

reflectedType - the type of the object for which we wish to determine reflectability

reflectorType - the interface which defines the operations we would like to perform on instances of reflectedType

Returns:

true, if the given reflector can support the operations specified in reflectorType when reflecting instances of reflectedType

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any of the arguments to this function are null

ReflectionException - if reflectability could not be determined

isReflectable

public static boolean isReflectable(Reflector reflector,
                                    java.lang.Object reflectedObject,
                                    java.lang.Class reflectorType)

Indicates whether the given reflector can support the operations specified in reflectorType when reflecting reflectedObject.

Parameters:

reflector - the reflector

reflectedObject - the object for which we wish to determine reflectability

reflectorType - the interface which defines the operations we would like to perform on instances of reflectedType

Returns:

true, if the given reflector can support the operations specified in reflectorType when reflecting instances of reflectedType

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if any of the arguments to this function are null

ReflectionException - if reflectability could not be determined
