Method Detail

determineType

protected static Class determineType(Class resource,
                                     Method method)

Determine the expected type as the returned type of the method. If the return type is a List it will return the generic element type instead of a List.

Parameters:

resource - - resource with methods

method - Method

Returns:

Class - type of class it needs.

determineOperationType

protected static Class determineOperationType(Class resource,
                                              Method method)

findMethodsByAnnotation

public static List<Method> findMethodsByAnnotation(Class objClass,
                                                   Class<? extends Annotation> annotationType)

Finds methods for the given annotation It first finds all public member methods of the class or interface represented by objClass, including those inherited from superclasses and superinterfaces. It then loops through these methods searching for a single Annotation of annotationType, traversing its super methods if no annotation can be found on the given method itself.

Parameters:

objClass - - the class

annotationType - - the annotation to find

Returns:

- the List of Method or an empty List

invokeMethod

public static Object invokeMethod(Method annotatedMethod,
                                  Object obj)

Invokes a no arg method and returns the result

Parameters:

annotatedMethod - Method

obj - Object

Returns:

result of method call

invokeMethod

public static Object invokeMethod(Method annotatedMethod,
                                  Object obj,
                                  Object... args)
                           throws Throwable

Invokes a method and returns the result

Parameters:

annotatedMethod - Method

obj - Object

Returns:

result of method call

Throws:

Throwable
