| | The Reflection API |
| | With the reflection API, you can perform these tasks even if the names of the classes, fields, and methods are unknown until runtime. | | | The reflection API represents, or reflects, the classes, interfaces, and objects in the current Java Virtual Machine. | | | You'll want to use the reflection API if you are writing development tools such as debuggers, class browsers, and GUI builders. |

| | Reflection API is described in this document generated by Doxygen. | | | Below we enumerate them grouping in three part - common for proposed reflection API and specific for each approach. | | | Reflection is required if you want to implement some generic code which can work with objects of unknown (at the time of creation of this code) types. |

| | XML.com: An Introduction to StAX |
| | The main reason to use integer type codes instead of classes is to avoid Java's very slow reflection API and instanceof operator. | | | Like SAX, StAX is a parser independent, pure Java API based on interfaces that can be implemented by multiple parsers. | | | A streaming API uses much less memory than a tree API since it doesn't have to hold the entire document in memory simultaneously. |

| | Use the Java reflection API's to dynamically load and execute the Java bytecode using the IKVM bytecode interpreter. | | | This section discusses information of interest to developers who want to use Java API's in their.NET applications. | | | To use those API's, simply add a reference to IKVM.GNU.Classpath.dll to your Mono /.NET IDE project. |

| | Reflection |
| | The reflection API accommodates applications that need access to either the public members of a target object (based on its runtime class) or the members declared by a given class. | | | Reflection enables Java code to discover information about the fields, methods and constructors of loaded classes, and to use reflected fields, methods, and constructors to operate on their underlying counterparts on objects, within security restrictions. | | | Reflection is intended for use by language tools such as debuggers and class browsers. |

| | Load-time Reflection |
| | However, the Java reflection API is available only after the class has been loaded into the JVM. | | | Additionally, reflection was not designed to extend functionality, and so does not make available the implementation of class methods. | | | These reflection features of the JOIE toolkit are similar to those present in a number of languages to allow the discovery of the structure of classes at run time. |

| | The goal is to remain compatible with the on-disk format used by Java Lucene (currently that of Lucene 1.4.x) but to provide an API that makes sense to programmers used to coding in C with APR. | | | Unlike some other Lucene ports, Lucene4c does not stick to the API used in the original Java based Lucene when a more idiomatic APR and C API makes more sense. | | | While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF. |

| | This is generally untrue since our system makes use of the reflection API and this API (or its equivalent) could be written for almost any language, in theory [Johnson]. | | | Naturally, the generated code would be faster if generics were included as a part of the JVM, but speed was never a design goal of the Java language (as far as I know). | | | Given a registration mechanism (like the RMIRegistry) it should be possible to automate the program generation of the code for distributed computation. |

| | Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Reflection is a constituent of the Java API which enables Java code to examine and "reflect" upon Java components at runtime. | | | Many independent implementations of the Java API (such as the GNU project's) implement everything but AWT, as AWT is not at all necessary for most server-side applications of Java technology. | | | However, one inconsistency is that (as of JDK 1.3) fonts are drawn by the underlying native system, and not by Java. |

| | The merits of strong typing (Loud Thinking) |
| | In Java you would have to roll out the whole arsenal, where you would need a big class-hierachy and rely upon the Reflection API to do the works. | | | Method signatures with strong typing tells you exactly what kind of input they expect and what kind of output they return. | | | If you believe that programming is done for "humans first, machines second" then it follows that languages that promote explicit statements of intent are more efficient. |

| | Iguana/J: Class MStateRead |
| | A metaobject may examine the details of the intercepted operation by using the Java Reflection API to look at information such as class names, method and field names and types, and number and types of arguments. | | | In general the meta level programmer will create a subclass of this class and specify in the protocol declaration that the subclass be used to reify state read. | | | This method is called by the protocol object (an instance of a subclass of Meta) when a state read operation in the associated base level class is intercepted. |

| | MOM systems use selectors which are SQL query predicates that serve a similar purpose as the pattern language in a tuple space - which compared to JavaSpace's simplistic reflection based pattern language, is a great improvement :) | | | A tuple space can be used in this manner too, but its API is more random access, getting/taking based on a predicate one object at a time. | | | In tuple-spaces, processes search the tuple space, using a pattern language, for matches rather than subscribing to a particular topic. |
