get

public java.lang.Object get(java.lang.Object obj)

                            java.lang.IllegalAccessException

Returns the value of the field represented by this Field, on the specified object. The value is automatically wrapped in an object if it has a primitive type.

The underlying field's value is obtained as follows:

If the underlying field is a static field, the obj argument is ignored; it may be null.

Otherwise, the underlying field is an instance field. If the specified obj argument is null, the method throws a NullPointerException. If the specified object is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.

If this Field object enforces Java language access control, and the underlying field is inaccessible, the method throws an IllegalAccessException. If the underlying field is static, the class that declared the field is initialized if it has not already been initialized.

Otherwise, the value is retrieved from the underlying instance or static field. If the field has a primitive type, the value is wrapped in an object before being returned, otherwise it is returned as is.

If the field is hidden in the type of obj, the field's value is obtained according to the preceding rules.

Parameters:

obj - object from which the represented field's value is to be extracted

Returns:

the value of the represented field in object obj; primitive values are wrapped in an appropriate object before being returned

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the underlying field is inaccessible.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field (or a subclass or implementor thereof).

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified object is null and the field is an instance field.

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked by this method fails.

getBoolean

public boolean getBoolean(java.lang.Object obj)
                   throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                          java.lang.IllegalAccessException

Gets the value of a static or instance boolean field.

Parameters:

obj - the object to extract the boolean value from

Returns:

the value of the boolean field

Throws:

set

public void set(java.lang.Object obj,
                java.lang.Object value)
         throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException,
                java.lang.IllegalAccessException

Sets the field represented by this Field object on the specified object argument to the specified new value. The new value is automatically unwrapped if the underlying field has a primitive type.

The operation proceeds as follows:

If the underlying field is static, the obj argument is ignored; it may be null.

Otherwise the underlying field is an instance field. If the specified object argument is null, the method throws a NullPointerException. If the specified object argument is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.

If this Field object enforces Java language access control, and the underlying field is inaccessible, the method throws an IllegalAccessException.

If the underlying field is final, the method throws an IllegalAccessException unless setAccessible(true) has succeeded for this field and this field is non-static. Setting a final field in this way is meaningful only during deserialization or reconstruction of instances of classes with blank final fields, before they are made available for access by other parts of a program. Use in any other context may have unpredictable effects, including cases in which other parts of a program continue to use the original value of this field.

If the underlying field is of a primitive type, an unwrapping conversion is attempted to convert the new value to a value of a primitive type. If this attempt fails, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.

If, after possible unwrapping, the new value cannot be converted to the type of the underlying field by an identity or widening conversion, the method throws an IllegalArgumentException.

If the underlying field is static, the class that declared the field is initialized if it has not already been initialized.

The field is set to the possibly unwrapped and widened new value.

If the field is hidden in the type of obj, the field's value is set according to the preceding rules.

Parameters:

obj - the object whose field should be modified

value - the new value for the field of obj being modified

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalAccessException - if the underlying field is inaccessible.

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified object is not an instance of the class or interface declaring the underlying field (or a subclass or implementor thereof), or if an unwrapping conversion fails.

java.lang.NullPointerException - if the specified object is null and the field is an instance field.

java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError - if the initialization provoked by this method fails.

public void setBoolean(java.lang.Object obj,
                       boolean z)

                       java.lang.IllegalAccessException
