Overview
This LiveLesson introduces the Java Reflection API and shows
you how to use it effectively to write programs that take advantage
of its powerful features. Bestselling Java author and trainer, Paul
Anderson uses carefully chosen examples to demonstrate how
reflection works without getting bogged down in the complexities
often associated with this API. Each key concept is explained and
illustrated with source code listings that demonstrate how you can
use reflection to solve real problems.
Key topics include discovering classes, interfaces, fields,
constructors, methods, and arrays. Other topics discussed include
creating objects, creating arrays, and working with fields. This
LiveLesson also covers generic parameterized types, annotations,
and dependency injection. After completing this LiveLesson, you’ll
be able to write more flexible code that takes full advantage of
the Java Reflection model.
