Method Detail

getParameterTypes

java.lang.Class<?>[] getParameterTypes()

Returns an array of Class objects that represent the formal parameter types, in declaration order, of the method represented by this Method object.

Returns an array of length 0 if the underlying method takes no parameters.

getReturnType

java.lang.Class<?> getReturnType()

Returns a Class object that represents the formal return type of the method represented by this Method object.

invoke

java.lang.Object invoke(java.lang.Object obj,
                      java.lang.Object... args)
                        throws java.lang.Exception

Invokes this method with the specified arguments.

Parameters:

obj - the object the underlying method is invoked from. It is always null if this function is invoked in an XEL expression. It is reserved for more sophisticated expressions, such as ZK Spreadsheet's expressions.

args - the arguments used for the method call. If null, an Object array with zero length is assumed.

Throws:

toMethod

java.lang.reflect.Method toMethod()

Converts this function to a method, or null if unable to convert.
