Method Detail

createNullProxy

public static <T> T createNullProxy(Class<T> clazz)

createDeepProxy

public static <T> T createDeepProxy(Class<T> clazz)

Create a proxy for the given class which returns other deep proxies from all it’s methods.

The returned object will be an instance of the given class, but all methods will return either the “default” value for primitives, or another deep proxy for non-primitive types.

This should be used rarely, for cases where we need to create deep proxies in order not to crash. The inner proxies are impossible to configure, so there is no way to create meaningful behavior from a deep proxy. It serves mainly to prevent Null Pointer Exceptions.

Parameters:

clazz - the class to provide a proxy instance of.

Returns:

a new “Deep Proxy” instance of the given class.

createDelegatingProxy

public static <T> T createDelegatingProxy(Class<T> clazz,
                                          Object delegate)

defaultsFor

public static <A extends Annotation> A defaultsFor(Class<A> annotation)

getField

public static <R> R getField(Object object,
                             String fieldName)

Reflectively get the value of a field.

Type Parameters:

R - The return type.

Parameters:

object - Target object.

fieldName - The field name.

Returns:

Value of the field on the object.

setField

public static void setField(Object object,
                            String fieldName,
                            Object fieldNewValue)

Reflectively set the value of a field.

Parameters:

object - Target object.

fieldName - The field name.

fieldNewValue - New value.

setField

public static void setField(Class<?> type,
                            Object object,
