public final class Type extends Object
The following is an example of proper usage of this class:
// Loads the class 'org.republic.Jedi' Class<?> jediType =type
("org.republic.Jedi").load
(); // Loads the class 'org.republic.Jedi' as 'org.republic.Person' (Jedi extends Person) Class<Person> jediType =type
("org.republic.Jedi").loadAs
(Person.class); // Loads the class 'org.republic.Jedi' using a custom class loader Class<?> jediType =type
("org.republic.Jedi").withClassLoader
(myClassLoader).load
();

The following example shows how to use this method. Let's assume that we have the class Jedi
that
extends the class Person
:
Class<Person> type =type
("org.republic.Jedi").loadAs
(Person.class);

- the generic type of the type.type
- the given type.NullPointerException
- if the given type is null
.ReflectionError
- wrapping any error that occurred during class loading.public TypeLoader withClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader)
ClassLoader
to use to load the class.
Example:
Class<?> type =type
("org.republic.Jedi").withClassLoader
(myClassLoader).load
();
classLoader
- the given ClassLoader

.NullPointerException
- if the given ClassLoader
is null
