Method Detail

getMethodInvokerByName

public static MethodInvoker getMethodInvokerByName(Object object,
                                                   String methodName,
                                                   boolean paramsRequired,
                                                   Class<?>... paramTypes)

Create a MethodInvoker using the provided method name to search.

Parameters:

object - to be invoked

methodName - of the method to be invoked

paramsRequired - boolean indicating whether the parameters are required, if false, a no args version of the method will be searched for.

paramTypes - - parameter types of the method to search for.

Returns:

MethodInvoker if the method is found, null if it is not.

getParamTypesString

public static String getParamTypesString(Class<?>... paramTypes)

Create a String representation of the array of parameter types.

Parameters:

paramTypes - the types of parameters

Returns:

the paramTypes as String representation

getMethodInvokerForInterface

public static MethodInvoker getMethodInvokerForInterface(Class<?> cls,
                                                         String methodName,
                                                         Object object,
                                                         Class<?>... paramTypes)

Create a MethodInvoker using the provided interface, and method name from that interface.

Parameters:

cls - the interface to search for the method named

methodName - of the method to be invoked

object - to be invoked

paramTypes - - parameter types of the method to search for.

Returns:

MethodInvoker if the method is found, null if it is not.

getMethodInvokerByAnnotation

public static MethodInvoker getMethodInvokerByAnnotation(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType,
                                                         Object target,
                                                         Class<?>... expectedParamTypes)

Create a MethodInvoker from the delegate based on the annotationType. Ensure that the annotated method has a valid set of parameters.

Parameters:

annotationType - the annotation to scan for

target - the target object

expectedParamTypes - the expected parameter types for the method

Returns:

a MethodInvoker

getMethodInvokerByAnnotation

public static MethodInvoker getMethodInvokerByAnnotation(Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType,
                                                         Object target)

Create MethodInvoker for the method with the provided annotation on the provided object. Annotations that cannot be applied to methods (i.e. that aren't annotated with an element type of METHOD) will cause an exception to be thrown.

Parameters:

annotationType - to be searched for

target - to be invoked

Returns:

MethodInvoker for the provided annotation, null if none is found.

getMethodInvokerForSingleArgument

public static <C,T> MethodInvoker getMethodInvokerForSingleArgument(Object target)

Create a MethodInvoker for the delegate from a single public method.

Type Parameters:

T - the t

C - the C

Parameters:

target - an object to search for an appropriate method

Returns:

a MethodInvoker that calls a method on the delegate
