Package java.lang.reflect

Interface Summary

Interface	Description
AnnotatedElement	This interface provides reflective access to annotation information.
GenericArrayType	This interface represents an array type with a component type that is either a parameterized type or a type variable.
GenericDeclaration	Common interface for language constructs that declare type parameters.
InvocationHandler	Implementors of this interface dispatch methods invoked on proxy instances.
Member	Common interface providing access to reflective information on class members.
ParameterizedType	This interface represents a parameterized type such as 'Set<String>'.
Type	Common interface implemented by all Java types.
TypeVariable<D extends GenericDeclaration>	This interface represents a type variables such as 'T' in 'public interface Comparable<T>', the bounded 'T' in 'public interface A<T extends Number>' or the multiple bounded 'T' in 'public interface B<T extends Number & Cloneable>'.
WildcardType	A pattern type, such as the upper bounded wildcard ? extends Closeable or the lower bounded wildcard ? super String.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AbstractMethod	This class represents an abstract method.
AccessibleObject	AccessibleObject is the superclass of all member reflection classes (Field, Constructor, Method).
Array	Provides static methods to create and access arrays dynamically.
Constructor<T>	This class represents a constructor.
Field	This class represents a field.
Method	This class represents a method.
Modifier	This class provides static methods to decode class and member modifiers.
Proxy	Proxy defines methods for creating dynamic proxy classes and instances.
ReflectPermission	Legacy security code; do not use.

Exception Summary

Exception	Description
InvocationTargetException	This class provides a wrapper for an exception thrown by a Method or Constructor invocation.
MalformedParameterizedTypeException	Indicates that a malformed parameterized type has been encountered by a reflective method.
UndeclaredThrowableException	This class provides a wrapper for an undeclared, checked exception thrown by an InvocationHandler.

Error Summary

Error	Description
GenericSignatureFormatError	Indicates that a malformed signature has been encountered via a reflective method.
