Reflector - A lightweight reflection library for GWT

GWT does not implement the Java Reflection API. This project provides a very simple replacement.

The goals of the project are:

• Not to implement the whole of the reflection API
• Provide an easy way to read and write properties of JavaBean like objects
• Provide an easy way to read the type of properties of JavaBean like objects

Usage

Add <inherits name="org.dt.reflector.Reflector" /> to your .gwt.xml file.

Add implements org.dt.reflector.Reflectable to any of your Java classes that you would like to inspect at runtime.

Make calls to the helper methods in org.dt.reflector.PropertyUtils to get/set values or to get the types of the properties, for example:

Object o = ...  // some type that implements Reflectable
Object value = PropertyUtils.getProperty( (Reflectable) o, "name" );
