Method Detail

get

Object get(Object instance)

Gets the current value of the field. If the field is a primitive value, then the primitive will be wrapped.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the instance is null

ClassCastException - if the instance is not the type that contains the field

set

void set(Object instance,
       Object newValue)

Updates the current value of the field. If the field is a primitive value, then the newValue will be unwrapped automatically.

Throws:

NullPointerException - if the instance is null

NullPointerException - if the newValue is null and the field is a primitive type

ClassCastException - if the instance is not the type that contains the field

ClassCastException - if the newValue is not assignable to the field type (or not the matching wrapper type for a primitive field)
